Speaking with confidence

[Stealth]

Woot!!! Guess what happened?
I got 1st place in the english speach competetion in the northen area of Taiwan and now im going to the competetion in Taipei County, and hopefully enter the competetion of Taiwan

How? Taiwan is a country where people speak chinese, i pretty much learned my english in eGO, and also got myself some neat american acsent as i talk over the mic alot, i would like to thank eGO for it(my neat acsent), and also my family and friends for the support. Now im going to give you some tips on making a speach

Tips on making a speach :
1. Eye contact is very important.
2. Only Act if you think lauguage can't make your words come to life
3. Don't try to remember every word of the speach, just make one up thats
similar.
4. Make a conclusion at the end of a speach
5. Don't say things like : That's it, Its the end of my speach, The end, etc..
Why?Because it would make the audience stop thinking about your speach
Thats not what you want, so instead of saying that, try saying : Thank you
for listening.
6. Most importantly, be confident in yourself, even if your not, try to act
normal



Hope this helps

Also - try speaking loud and clear, don't rabble.

And end your sentences naturally, not as if it sounds like a question.

E.g.

eGO is a great community....?
It has over 9000 people.....?
Admins there are amazing....?

Those are some great tips right there.

Though eye contact goes out the window when you're giving a speech to a large group.

Also try to be animated, no one like someone who is stiff. Attempt to get them to laugh, but don't get childish with the humor.
