Giving a speech can be a real daunting task for many, but it doesn't have to be. Just like anything else, giving a speech takes a lot of practice and effort. There may be times when you stutter, mispronounce a word or maybe even get lost throughout the speech. That does not mean that your a bad public speaker, it just means that you need more practice. Think of public speaking as an art, the more you practice it, the better looking the artwork. In the steps below, there are some crucial steps that a student should take notice before giving a speech in college, or at work if that's the case.
Create an outline on what your speech is going to be on.
Always be prepared ahead of time, try practicing in front of a mirror a couple of times before the speech date.
Give a nice welcoming speech that will entice your audience to learn more.
Make sure you mention the proper references and their credentials from where the analysis,statistics and facts came from.
Try to stay calm and relaxed throughout the speech. Nothing says unprepared, like a person who doesn't seem confident of him or herself.
Write the main points on an index card, that way you can discuss them without looking on your notes the whole time. People would just ask you for the paper, and they can read it themselves, but if you give them eye contact and enthusiasm then they will really listen to you.
