It doesn’t matter if it is a sermon, a class speech, or various public speaking- there are certain strategies one must develop in order to become efficient and comfortable at speaking. I am definitely not the most experienced speaker, but I have learned a few things from many individuals that are great at it. One major speech I had to give this year was in one of my college classes… (Please keep in mind that this story is humorously written. It is not entirely true.)
When I was told that a speech had to be given based on the class research paper on my first day of Composition 2, I thought I was in for a rough ride. As the first few weeks passed, I was relaxed. Nothing was too much different from the previous semester. As the weeks in the class progressed, the time for research speech was arriving quickly. Although the time for the speech was arriving quickly, I was not going to think about it until it had to be done because I did not want to stress myself out.
