Any ideas? The speech is supposed to be between five and seven minutes. I am supposed to support one side, but also give information on the other side. If you think of a good topic for me to do and you know any sites with good information on it, please post.

Thanks   :D .

Well, I went to university a few weeks ago and learnt about speach presentation (it was actually a bioscience course, but I had to do a presentation to various managers of international supermarket chains to persuade them to buy the applejuice I spent 3 days perfecting.)

Anyways, I can't remember most of it, but things that I do remember are things like-
  • Take your time when talking, if you forget something try and remember it.. most importantly don't panic.
  • Use body language. Speach only counts for something like 20% of presentation
  • Talk using different tones. Using the same tone will make it sound very dull, and noone will be interested or focused.
  • Use slides to help if you can, and make them interesting. Also explain them in FULL detail.
  • Never use the words \"er..\" or \"stuff\" (I was really bad at this)
  • Talk clearly.. theres nothing worse than not being able to hear the speaker.
  • If you really wanna be good a speach presentation/presentation.. take a university course or something :P
Stick to those and you should be ok.. it worked for me infront of hundreds of people.. and 3 days before the course I proberbly couldnt even give a speach to 5 people :P
