Wetin you go do with dem after you finish? Practice your speech for one situation wey resemble your actual speech as much as possible. E dey important make you stay fairly still while you dey give speech. Small hand gestures and moving to another spot sometimes dey okay, especially if e go help you feel and look confident. If you dey talk to plenty people, learn how to project your voice, no dey mumble or shout. Stand with your legs shoulder width apart and your back straight. Try to dey talk using your diaphragm, push the air out from low for your chest. Use the stance and techniques wey dem describe above. If you don memorize your speech already, use your index cards. If not, e dey okay — just read am from the page. If your speech too long, you need to cut some things out or shorten the longer stories or ideas. If you dey give commencement speech, aim for 10 or 15 minutes maximum. An election speech no suppose pass few minutes, and your teacher suppose tell you the time limit for class assignment speech. E dey easy to rush when you dey nervous. Pause at the end of each sentence. At the end of one section, before you move to the next idea, make one longer pause and pretend say you dey look across your audience dey make eye contact with some people. If you no fit stop rushing, calculate how long you suppose spend on each section and write the number of minutes for top of each index card or paragraph. Practice near one clock so you fit check whether you dey on pace. Start by reading your speech out loud, then try look down at the page less and less and dey make eye contact with your reflection instead. Eventually, you suppose fit make your speech while only dey refer to notes wey you write for index cards. Use slightly different words each time once you don get the main ideas.

You go probably feel nervous, but the practice go make you more confident for the actual speech. Try make eye contact with different members of your audience throughout the speech. No dey stare at any one person for too long. Resist the temptation to hide by standing near one corner or large object. No dey fidget, tap your foot, or make other nervous gestures. Try dey walk slowly back and forth across the stage to get rid of your nervous energy. The members of the audience fit notice problems wey you no even consider, whether with the statements wey you make or your delivery style. Take their advice gracefully; dem dey do you one favor by letting you know wetin you need to improve. Get to bed early the night before and chop full, comforting meals wey no go upset your stomach. Take your mind off the event with other activities in the hours before the speech. Dressing nicely go increase your confidence and gain respect and attention from your audience. <response>: ```Think about movement and materials. Practice speaking loudly and clearly.
