Make eye contact.\n\nHave the appropriate facial expression.\n\nIf you have a speech you read from, make sure to look up from it occasionally.\n\nSpeak clearly and enunciate.  Don't speak to fast, don't mumble, and speak with confidence.\n\nHope I've helped!

Smile and make eye contact, in a social situation most people (who are nice anyway) will automatically say hi back! keep smiling and keep conversation light, comment on the food- have you tried....., or the drinks-be polite, never negative and ask questions about them, people love to talk about themselves!!! Talking about how they know the host of the party is good sometimes, "who are you here with?" do you know such and such"? never take yorself too seriously, introduce yourself, ask how they are and remember to breath!! or you will talk so fast they will not understand you! Maybe just smile alot until you have had a glass of wine and loosened up a bit!(never drink too much, esp if you dont know anyone). Remember, they are probably feeling like you are, and people always radiate towards friendly looking people! You will be fine!

In college I did one on Saint Bernards.  For my visual, At this end of the speech I had my bf wait outside with my dog a (Saint Bernard) and he brought him in the class.  The instructor LOVED it and I got an A!\nAnyway, just give a speech on something you love, or a hobby or something.  That way you wont have any problem coming up with something to say.

Since I don't know what your hobbies or interests are, my advice is to offer you a few suggestions to guide your thinking as to the choice of topics. In my experience, the best speech you can give is about a subject that: \n\na) you know very well, so that you will have some material to talk about for five minutes. Because this is a persuasive speech, you should think about at least three arguments that support your position on the subject. You may be able to come up with more than three but pick the three strongest ones and go with those. \n \nb) you feel passionately about, so that you will be persuasive. See a) above.  \n\nRemember, when you deliver your speech you become the expert on the subject. Your knowledge and passion about the subject are what will make you persuasive. \n\nSee if you can come up with a list of a few topics just by brainstorming about things that fulfill both criteria above. Then narrow it down to a subject that you feel you can write and talk about.\n   \nLastly, five minutes is not a very long time in terms of speeches, so you might want to practice your speech with a timer so that you can be sure to make it within the time limit. Practice also helps you memorize your speech so you won't need notes, in case you lose them.\n\nGood luck and have fun!

The best way to be confident about what you speak is knowledge and passion. Forget about planned speeches. Know the subject you're going to speak about, "do your homework" so to speak, and maybe make a few note cards. Find something about which you have to speak that you can feel passionate about. I used to be terribly shy as well, but after a while, it came into perspective: what does it matter how people think about your public speaking? Many of them are probably as nervous as you are. Just do it. Don't overthink it; you'll just make yourself panic.

If you mean how to talk in front of a crowd, I'm pretty good at it.  Just know your material, stand confidently, speak confidently, and look around at different people instead of honing in on just one person.  Here's a trick:  just pretend.  Pretend you are a good speaker and you will be.  It is sort of like an out-of-body experience.

Eat a little something about an hour before your presentation - you don't want to pass out from low blood sugar due to your anxiety first of all. \n\nSecond, practice some breathing and relaxing exercises before your speech. Take a slow deep breath in with the nose, slow exhale from the mouth. Then do several mouth exercises - say the vowels A,E,I,O,U with very exaggerated facial muscle use - stretching each one as far as you can while saying them out loud. This will relax the facial muscles that you will use to speak as well as smile.\n\nForcing a smile, even when you don't feel it on the inside, really can improve your mood. \n\nDon't look directly at the people you are speaking to. Look just above their heads - they will not realize you are not actually looking at them.\n\nTry to relax. People are just people. To put it bluntly, we all still sit on the toilet, barf when we're sick, blow boogers out of our noses, do stupid things, have problems at home, etc. etc. etc. Don't ever put anyone on a pedestal, no matter who they are - it's easier to speak to people when you realize they are not above you.

1) Brainstorm.  Start with a list of everything that you can think of that you may want to include in your speech.  This is a stage where you generate ideas, so turn off your censor/editor and WRITE EVERYTHING down that you can think of.  Even if your ideas are dumb, they may help you think of other ideas after you have something written down.  Set a time limit for brainstorming so that you have to think quickly.  try 2-5 minutes.\n\n2) Pick your best idea and start with that.  In a speech, it's good to start with something unusual, something memorable, funny, etc.  Don't start with the boring stuff.  You want people to lean in to listen.\n\n3) If you're trying to think of an approach to start, you could begin with:\n\n--Your first impressions of the two teachers.\n--Accomplishments that people may not know about the teachers.\n--Statistics about how many students they've impacted, or some accomplishments of the students they've instructed.\n--Point out/remind people of a lovable/quirky trait about the teachers.  Like a common phrase they use or their trademark green sweater and purple tie, who knows?  (Be careful not to offend) \n\n4) After you have a rough draft of the speech, read it out loud.  If it doesn't sound like you're having a normal conversation, edit it so that it sounds like you're talking to someone.\n\n5) Rehearse the speech to a person who doesn't know the teachers.  Ask for honest feedback about areas that could be improved/shortened/lengthened.\n\n6) Rehearse the speech to a person who does know the teachers.  Ask if it's a speech that honors them, and again honest feedback for improvement.\n\n7) More ideas on brainstorming:  When I was a writing tutor, I often had to get students to brainstorm on a topic that they felt stumped on.  I'd ask them some questions about their topics similar to the following prompts.\nTry any of these prompts to get you going, and freewrite about them:\n\n--If each teacher was a color, what color would he/she be and why?\n\n--What would your grandmother have to say about these teachers?\n\n--Name some traits about these teachers that you wish you had.\n\n--Name some things about these teachers that most people don't have.\n\n--Why could this teacher never be replaced?\n\n--List some things about these teachers that students may not know.\n\n--If the teacher was a character from Shakespeare/Bible/Dickens/ (other classic literature), who would he/she be, and why?\n\n--If the teacher was a character from The Real World/The O.C./Survivor/Desperate Housewives/(Other popular show), who would he/she be, and why?\n\nGood luck on generating ideas!
