CONTEST WORKSHOP
SPEECH DELIVERY; 2:30-3:30PM ON 4/14/2024 at Schimelpfenig Library in Plano.
Address: 5024 Custer Rd, Plano, TX 75023
We will spend our time focusing on dynamic delivery. Keys word that we will explore are: tone, pitch, pace, and volume. Learning how to utilize all of these techniques is the key to any powerful speech delivery. We will work on speaking with passion, and eliminate what is commonly known as “Robot voice.” The goal with this session is to recognize the differences between reading a speech and the power of giving a speech.
