Remember why you're there and who you're talking to. Don't expect your speech to miraculously come together while you're up there. Some ways to be more comfortable while giving a speech The confidence you demonstrate while you're speaking is just as important as what you're saying. Talk about real issues and what you plan to do for the school. But don't promise something you can't deliver.
Most campaign speeches are boring.
There's a difference between being funny and being stupid. Don't make your whole campaign into a joke, and don't do something you'll be embarrassed if people remember. You don't have to be friends with everyone to be friendly. Be aware of what voters want. Listen to them.
