Movement with meaning

Fellow speaker,

Professional speaker David Chase suggests when you move on stage, the movement should be directly related to something you are talking about in your speech. If your speech doesn't require you to move, stand still.

Still standing,

Room reaction

Fellow speaker,

Professional speaker David Chase reminds you the characters actions and reactions have to match the scene you have set up. For example, if you describe a table in the middle of the room, the characters have to move around the table.

Reactively,

I object!

Fellow speaker,

Professional speaker David Chase suggests when gesturing in your speech you use realistic gestures that show the objects in your speech scene:

• Size
• Shape
• Location

Objectively,

Unfreeze your brain

Fellow speaker,

If you've ever gotten onstage and had a moment where you forgot what you were going to say next, you're not alone! When you have a "brain freeze":

1. Stay calm
2. Pause and wait for your mind to catch up to you
3. If nothing happens, repeat the last words you said and repeat steps one and two

As long as you have done repeated speech rehearsals out loud, saying your speech over and over...you have the speech IN you, you just need to get it OUT. Wait for it and it will come back to you.

Unfreezing,

Tim Wilson
