What Students Need to Know:
There are a lot of distractions constantly battling for the audience’s attention, so a speaker needs to have dynamic delivery in order to keep the audience engaged. By projecting your voice so that it is loud enough for the audience to hear, using vocal variation to convey enthusiasm and to emphasize important ideas, using movement and gestures to reinforce the meaning conveyed by the words of your speech, and using facial expressions that reflect the emotional tone of your message, speakers can keep the audience focused on their message and make a stronger, lasting impression.
