It is said that Abraham Lincoln searched for exactly the right words to say to his audience in that history-making speech that   1  less than three minutes.

Your speech probably won't be as long-remembered,   2  you can still strive to give your audience the best speech possible by   3  these simple tips:

Write and rewrite the material in your speech until it sounds exactly right to your own ears. Don't use words that are hard to   4  . Avoid technical   5  or keep them to a minimum whenever possible.

Remember to use descriptive phrases so your listeners can get a mental picture in their   6  of what you are talking about. People don't want to be told, they want to be given a   7  picture so they can better understand your words.

Avoid using a lot of statistics that will put your audience asleep in their seats. Keep necessary   8  in your speech to a minimum amount.

Humor can be an effective way to   9  your audience, Humor can also effectively lessen   10  , especially yours. You can use short jokes or personal anecdotes for this purpose. Just make sure your humorous material is appropriate for the audience you are   11  to.

Your speech will probably either inform or   12  your listeners to take action in order to help a charitable organization, etc. Be sure to include localized information in your speech that meet your audience's specific needs.

Read your speech out loud several times to hear how it will sound to your audience. Practice giving your speech in front of a mirror. That way you can see   13  you are going to look to the audience. This technique can help you   14  and feel more comfortable.

Make sure to speak a little louder than   15  conversation when you are giving your speech so that you can be easily heard by the entire   16  , not just the first few rows.

When you are giving your speech to your listeners, remember to   17  your speech down a little bit and don't rush through the words.

You can arrange to have helpful visual aids    18  before, during, or right after the end of your speech. This way the audience will have written information they can take home with them and   19  later.

Remember to be an appreciative speaker and to   20  the person or persons who asked you to give the speech. Also remember to thank the audience for listening.
