Presenting Effectively

Use your voice

To use your voice to its best advantage, consider the following:

  • Keep the tone of your voice natural and conversational.
  • Speak loudly enough for everyone to hear if you do not have a microphone. Check the acoustics when you rehearse.
  • Use a microphone for a large group or a large space, and practice beforehand to find a comfortable speaking volume.
  • Avoid rapid-fire or drawn-out speech. Practice with a tape recorder or a colleague to get feedback.
  • Be expressive. Don't speak in a monotone. Raise and lower your voice to make your point.
  • Enunciate and pronounce words clearly.
