1. Remember that we are all in the same boat- keep in mind that everyone is going to be nervous or have some sort of anxiety about speaking. Just take comfort In knowing that you are not alone and know that you can get through it. 2. Practice- as with a lot of things practicing helps you get through things easier and work out the hard parts. Run through your speech in your head or Infront of family or friends. 3. You don't look as nervous as you feel- keep in mind that when you have anxiety about things you always think it's worse than it is. You might feel nervous, but the audience doesn't perceive you that way. There's a difference between how you feel and how you look.

1. Standing- standing up straight, making sure that your weight is balanced and that you're not leaning. In the past I have seen speaking that have a nice stance and it makes them look more confident. 2. Making eye contact- when a speaker makes eye contact with you when they are giving a speech it makes you feel more involved and that they are talking to you, not at you

1. Sweep the room- look at everyone by scanning the room side to side and back to front 2. Making actual eye contact- keep your chin up, look at the audience members and look at them in the eyes

1. Volume- talking at the right volume for the audience you have. Making sure you talk loud enough for them the hear you but that you're not screaming at them. 2. Speed- talking in the safe space of not to slow and not to fast. Make sure that the audience can understand you and that your words don't run together. 3. Articulation- you want you make sure you are pronouncing your worlds well so that the audience understands and comprehends the point you are trying to make.

What is the difference between a manuscript speech and impromptu speaking? When speaking would it be appropriate to do a manuscript speech and when would someone speak in an impromptu fashion? (8 points) (page 172-173)

A manuscript is a speech written out and read to an audience. A lot of times politicians us this method when reading from a teleprompter. while an impromptu speech is given on the spot without preparation. When you're in class or in a meeting and you are called on that is impromptu speaking.
