Hello everyone!

Here are some of my tips for giving a speech over Zoom:

• Make sure that you are in a place that has minimal to no background noise
• You should check that your Internet or WiFi is working well before giving your speech – we would hate to see it crash in the middle of your amazing speech!
• Introduce your topic with an image and a brief preface of what it is you are about to speak on
• Have fun with it! Make things interactive, laugh if you want to
• Keep the audience engaged by making sure you are not using a monotone voice and instead are fluctuating it appropriately
• Move your eyes around when speaking, even if you are not in Gallery Mode it is important to make sure you are not staring in one place the entire time
• Wear an outfit that makes you feel comfortable and confident – even if the audience will not see it, it could help you feel more established!
• Lastly, make sure to rehearse your speech as much as possible before giving it
