The following tips are taken from SPEAKING UP, MIT Freshman Advising
Seminar 055, that was offered by Norma McGavern (former UROP Director) in
Fall 1996. These tips provide you with advice on how to deliver your
message clearly and strongly, with as little pain as possible for you the
speaker and your audience.

Preparation for SpeakingYour Voice (what you start out with) and the Sound
it Makes.
.
1. Speech Is What You Do With Sound.
.
Remember where the source of your voice is--it's not in your mouth! Air is
pushed out from your abdomen, not from your throat . Before speaking--and
while speaking, take deep breaths that result from diaphragm movement, not
movement of the upper chest.
.
It's a physical thing. The muscles between the ribs contract when you take
a breath, and the ribs swing up and out. The diaphragm contracts, then
descends and flattens, causing a slight displacement of abdominal organs
and an expansion of the upper end of the abdomen. The size of the chest
cavity increases and air rushes in to fill the vacuum. When you exhale,
muscles relax and return to the resting position and air is forced out of
the lungs.
.
You can do an exercise. Feel where the air is coming from. Stand up, put
your hand on your abdomen; let air in, let air out. Count to 5, then 10,
on a breath. Feel it? It's relaxing.
.
Speaking posture: Stand in a comfortable position, not rigidly straight,
not slumped over.
.
2. Your Voice Creates An Impression. What Kind Of Impression Do You Want
To Make?
.
(A) Pitch: The tone of your voice. It is high? Low? A low voice may carry
better. Correct breathing will help you achieve a lower pitch, to a point.
So will relaxing.
.
(B) Inflection: Don't sound querulous. That is, don't end sentences with
an upward tone as you do when you ask a question (unless you want to sound
uncertain). Beware of the inflections of sarcasm; these inflections
usually don't play well and can sound whiny and annoying.
.
(C) Pace: The speed at which your thoughts are put together out loud.
Normal conversational speech is done with rapid bursts of sound. Public
speaking pace should be slower and more deliberate than conversational
speech. What may seem to be too slow to the speaker is very likely just
right for the audience. The pace you choose may be related to the kind of
audience and content of your material. Aim for a slow pace, with lots of
pauses between ideas.
