The following are tips on how to present speeches in a more insightful, provoking way, thereby engaging your audience and drawing attention to the information you are presenting to them. Warm up the audience. Many times speakers go into the subject too quickly. Take at least 30 seconds to three minutes to introduce your material before getting into the heart of the material. Be a story-teller.
Stories are the best way to illustrate points.
Use stories and don't totally rely on statistics, data, charts and quotes. Keep the audience awake. Don't darken the room too much if you use slides or other visuals. Keep the room well-lit to keep the audience's attention. Stick to four points.
