SUCCEEDING WITH FORMAL SPEECHES / 355
MAKE IT READABLE
Print out your speech in a
large, clear font on single-
sided pages. Mark your script
for points of emphasis, but
make sure you can easily
read any handwritten edits
or notes.
Tip
the audience’s view of your face. Plan
moments where you can move toward
the audience, however briefly, to address
a point—question and answer sessions
following the speech can offer this
opportunity. Freedom of movement will
signal your willingness to engage with
your audience.
If you are stuck behind the podium,
keep in mind that you must still find ways
to connect with the audience. Make eye
contact at points around the entire
audience, and find a natural delivery that
lets people know that the words and
thoughts you are speaking are in fact
your own.
