Speech is the ability to express one’s thoughts and emotions using sounds and gestures.

How to Keep the Audience until the End of the Speech

1. Be Prepared
• Unless you are asked to deliver a speech on the spot, you need to prepare for any speaking engagement.
• Nothing beats a good amount of preparation in just about anything.
• Part of your preparation is to ensure that you have included all the essential points in your speech in a short time.

2. Stick to your point


• Refrain from talking too much about non-essential points as it may consume time supposedly allotted for the
essential ones.

3. Play safe
• Play safe by keeping your message short.

4. Observe your audience


• There are just times when you need to cut your speech by skipping some thoroughly rehearsed parts in your
speech depending on your audience’s reactions to your speech.
