Speeches and presentations can seem like the scariest things in the world (except hippos - those things are scary as all get out). With practice, though, you can reduce the anxiety they cause, calm your nerves, and become a great public speaker.
Today we'll cover 9 areas of focus - including eye contact, body language, speech rate, and methods of practice - that you can improve in order to start delivering great speeches.
The companion article for this video contains a LOT of extra detail, bonus resources, links to videos of great speakers, and even a couple old videos of me practicing speeches (one is pretty terrible). Check it out.
In this video, I will teach you how to begin a speech and grab your audience's attention, how to get to your point, and how you can leave a good lasting impression. I go through a free speech openers that others have done to show how effective these openers can be, and I talk about what not to do for your speech.

Whatever your challenges are, keep working hard and moving forward. Turn to God and He will give you the added strength you need, whether in school, academics, sports, or any aspect of your life.
Don't let any obstacle get you down. You are the captain of your soul.
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
