Body Language
Be aware of your stance
Folding arms can give the impression that you are not open to questions
Pacing up and down can be a sign of nerves and is very distracting for your audience
Don’t jiggle loose change or keys in your pocket
Eye contact
Beware of holding eye contact with one person for too long.
It can be very intimidating
Don’t try to move eye contact across the room too quickly as it looks very unnatural
Tone of Voice
Adjust the volume depending on the size of the room
Slow your speech down and alter your tone when you want to stress a particularly important point
