'Only the prepared speaker deserves to be confident'.
Using flash cards....
How well you are organised while giving your speech is also very
important. It is like travelling. If you are well organised during the travel,
you will enjoy the same.
While giving your speech the most important
issue is how you handle your notes. Your notes should be handy and organised
properly. Small handy flash cards are better than papers. If you are holding
the paper in front of your face and speaking, you may be hiding your face and
this will stand in the way of making eye contact with the audience.
The number of words per flash card is also
very important. The font size of the notes should be large enough that you can
access it without any difficulty. You should not 'read' from the flash card.
You should 'glance' it and mention what is in the flash card. It should not be
very obvious that you are reading from the flash card. This means that you
should have read the cards couple of times and taken the contents into your
memory so that the cards are there just a memory aid.
This small preparation will go a long way
in building your image as a good public speaker!
