1. Grade 10 Public Speaking

2.  the degree of highness or lowness of a tone.
 Pitch is the highness or lowness of voice.
 varying it means going up and down.
 it expresses emotion
 a.High=excitement,surprise or tension
 b.Medium =ordinary statements
 c.Low=extreme emotion, desire for seclusion

3.  extra loudness given to a particular syllable
or word.
 involves higher pitch, longer duration and
force/said louder
 we stress on things,words or ideas we want
to emphasize

4.  Juncture is phrasing and pausing.
 Group your thoughts and ideas to bring out
their importance in relation to other ideas.
 We pause to allow speaker to catch their
breath when saying a long sentence,we
pause between thought groups.
 A period is stop. A comma is pause.

5.  Wiggle it, just a little bit.
 Is it not so comfortable to just be able to move around as we wish, when we wish
to/ however, it is not the case, we are expected to move or not to move in
accordance to each situation in various venues
 Let us take our bimonthly toastmasters club meetings, as audience and as speakers
our body movements say so much of our attentiveness, eagerness or boredom.
 Our seasoned speakers always impress us with their eloquence, their diction, the
flow of ideas spoken with confidence because their speech organization is almost
flawless, but do you know what gives them away/- that they are also sometimes
groping for words/ their body language.
 It is but natural to hold on to something as we speak, thus, take advantage of the
microphone or the lectern. But do not get to playful and twist the mike’s wires or
rock the lectern. Another no no is to lean on the lecturn.We may by all means rest
our palm on the sides of the lectern or tap it to project conviction or attract
attention, but it must never be leaned on too long as this action is almost equal to
slouching while standing.
 On some occasions, as we host or emcee or be the toastmaster of the day we will
wait for the next speaker as they approach the podium, while we are doing so, it is
best not to let our chin rest in our palms, this expresses boredom or exasperation.
It is like saying ‘what is taking you so long’ or ‘are you going to be here soon/’

6.  Lest we forget, our hands should not be in our pockets nor fondling the jewelries in our
ears, wrists or necks.
 By now, some of you might be thinking ‘we will be as stiff as a rood’ if we don’t move.
As speakers we will move just as the title expresses we will ‘wiggle it’
 Foremost in the body movement must is eye contact. For our eyes should be creating
rapport with our audience. the innate objects inside the hall- the ceiling the chairs, water
dispense will not react to what we are sharing-the audience will.so look at them,
sincerely convey your message to them with your eyes and I am sure you will be able to
illicit a smile or a nod of agreement or a frown, a shake of their head or even a silent ‘no’
with their lips if they disagree.
 Moving a few steps but not too many across the podium or the stage will keep the
audience attentive, taking two steps forward commands confidence.
 Our eyes have moved, our feet has, too. This time utilize our hands, when we deliver
speeches sans the microphone, both our hands are free to assist us in conveying our
message. In our daily interaction with people a simple thumbs up or down can make or
break a business transaction, a firm handshake embodies sincerity and again confidence.
The hand gesture of an open palm from the masses to the heart of the speaker enlisting
support for their advocacy might cause a revolution.
 Your body language says as much as your words. Your spoken words are not so
believable if your body does not exude your belief on what you are articulating on.
 Friends, let’s wiggle it, just a little bit.

7. When you are tensed and scared your cognitive functions are
reduced
 Don’t move your legs
This simple change will calm down your entire body and make
you look more confident and in control. Your legs are such a big
part of your body and when they are completely still the rest
follows. You probably already know that slow movements, or no
movements at all, are always a sign of high-status.
If you are nervous, you probably have a strong urge to move and
will have a hard time keeping your legs still. The solution?
Simply tense your legs and really drive them into the
ground. This allows you to get rid of the excess energy while
keeping your legs perfectly still.

8.  Sit Properly

 Approach stage and or lectern naturally but
with confidence.
 Shake hands of Emcee before and after
receiving and or handing the microphone.

 Clap aloud when needed.

9.  It’s very important that speakers make eye
contact with all areas of the room, ideally
