‘I
speak too quickly’ - a
lot of people speak quickly naturally, but when we are nervous
we speed up even more. There is a desire to get it all over and
done with as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, nobody benefits from this, as the speaker is not
satisfied with his delivery, and the audience has not had
enough time to take in and remember much of what has been said.
By practising techniques to speak
at a slower pace, you will be able to make sure your speech is
clear, put greater emphasis on key words or phrases, and allow
your audience time to hear, assimilate and remember what you
have said.
Speakers who take their time with
delivery, sound much more confident and authoritative.
