UniSpeakers Session Two 20th September 2007

Well done to everyone who came this week. It was good to see a few new faces again this week. Everyone is welcome to join in, no previous experience required!

In this session we really focused on using your voice. Eye contact will be a recurring theme and will also be noted next week

Remember

Eye Contact
Sweep or stay
Don’t go overboard
Z formation

Voice
Balanced alignment or stance
Deep breathing
Projection
Articulation
Vary your tone and inflection
Pause if you need to
Talk to the audience

There are lots of things to think about here. Everyone did a great job at focusing on one aspect. Remember to practice, practice, practice and add these tips to your mental checklist.

Please see the UniSpeakers Club page online at http://www.studentservices.uwa.edu.au/ss/learning/studying_smarter/peer_... for more information and upcoming sessions. In our next session (27th September) we will deal with the very important issue of body language. I hope to see you there.
