Control Your Pace
comment :
A common pitfall of speakers and presenters is that they often speak too fast, giving the audience little time to reflect on the past sentence. A more controlled pace helps the speaker to use his/her voice better, create more inflection and emphasis and get the point accress with more impact. Try pausing every now and then. It’s the best way to allow people to think about what you’ve just said..
