Walk to the podium with a smile on your face!
Look at your audience and make them your friends. Make eye contact if you can.
Wear comfortable shoes on the day you must present your speech.
Never practice your speech on the day of the contest. It's bad luck!
Always look to the judges if you can't remember your speech. They are there to help you!
Think in your mind that you are the best speaker and your speech is the most interesting.
Try taking deep breaths before you must give your speech. It will help you relax!
Dress your best on the day of the speech contest. Most people who look professional, ARE professional.
Practice your speech in front of a mirror, your dog, your friends, at the park. The more you practice in front of others, the less nervous you will be at the real contest.
