Yeas and Nays on Delivery

Which of the following best describes a confident public speaker?

This activity contains 8 questions.

Question 1.
I have a habit of inserting "um" and "ah" into my talk. This lets the audience know how uncomfortable I'm feeling.
   
 
End of Question 1


Question 2.
My stomach is churning and my hands are wringing wet. If I am this nervous, I will probably give a terrible talk.

End of Question 3


Question 4.
I plan to use a multi-media presentation to distract the audience away from me so they will focus upon my slides instead.
   
 
End of Question 4


Question 5.
If I make eye contact with my audience, I'm more likely to forget my nervousness and concentrate on interacting with my audience.
   
 
End of Question 5


Question 6.
In order to appear natural and comfortable, I plan to use gestures and to move around while talking.
   
 
End of Question 6


Question 7.
In order to ensure that I don't forget any important points, I plan to write my speech out and either read it or memorize it.
   
 
End of Question 7


Question 8.
To appear more comfortable and confident, it's good to dress in casual clothing.
   
 
End of Question 8
