Gestures- Speeches can get very monotonous. To avoid the monotony, use gestures in an appropriate manner. It is important to hold the attention of your audience. Since you are speaking to the audience, they need to feel involved or directly addressed so maintaine sufficient eye communication without getting fixated on one person for too long. 3. Avoid Monotony - Humour is a good tool for this purpose. Prepare a speech with humorous anecdotes and one liners wherever possible. 4. Speak, do not read- Do not keep looking at your script. You are speaking to your audience, not reading out to them. Do your homework well and memorize the main points.
