Public Speaking Class

Yesterday i took a public speaking class with John McKay. It was a realli good class because i'm realli bad with public speaking, but he gave us some tools that we could use to make us more comfortable and making our speakes better and make them more interesting. Some of the things he was saying was that to make our speeches better and more interesting we can use our hands when we talk, but not too much so that the audience is distracted, and isnt paying attention to what your saying as the speaker. Another this he said we should avoid doing is looking around and not making eye contact with the audience and making it seem like we realli dont care or we are not interested. That was a realli good thing for me because when ever i get nerves,(which is probably when ever im in front of a crowd) i always look around and my eyes wonder and stuff! So those were just a few tips he gave us, he always gave us tips so that when we did our presentation tomorrow, it will be better than the one we did on friday!
