You observed that. When a speaker only tells about facts in their speech. After some time the audience gets bored. Because the audience wants entertainment. The speech seems to be like a boring professor’s speech in a class. So after some time, people get bored. And quit your program, some get sleepy, and if the audience is elvish. Then they throw eggs & tomatoes at you.

Many times our introduction is too lengthy or too short. Too many lengthy introductions bored the audience. And too short an introduction makes your speech confusing. The audience will not understand what you want to convey. 

 

So, because it is the most important part of your speech. Left it short and entertaining.  This can include interesting facts, a good story like I use of Warren Buffett, or asking questions to the audience, or you can add quotes. This increases the retention of the public. And make them excited to listen to you.

 

Fourth, you learned that the conclusion is also important, so build it carefully.  

 

I know many speakers whose introduction is good, and the body part of their speech is good. But they forget to sum up their speech or they are in a hurry and make their speech too short. And sometimes they are so relaxed that. They make their sum up too lengthy. Too short sum up make your speech a laughter movie with a tragic end. 

 

And too long sum up make your speech a map without any signs. So, summarizing the main points, asking the audience, or closing with a quote should be done. Your sump should not be lengthy. It should be brief and to the point. In which you can add the main points of your speech. Which helps your audience in revising the main points.

 

Fifth, mirroring or hearing and speaking techniques.

 

take a mirror and start to talk with it. The mirroring technique is one of the guaranteed techniques to improve your fluency and decrease your fear. The other technique is to make the habit of speaking. Is to record your audio on the topic and save it into your mobile phone and i-pord. Plug an earphone in your ear and start to speak what you hear. keep practicing. After some time you can easily speak without hearing it.
