Read the passage given below carefully:
When you are making a presentation, your posture can affect the quality of your voice. The way
you stand the position of your head, neck and feet and shoulders and so on are very important
Check that your feet are parallel and apart and your weight is slightly forward on your feet
Make sure that your knees are relaxed. If you are tense, your back will suffer. Pay special
attention to your head. Look straight out and don't push your neck out or drop on to your
chest. I had a man come to see me once as he was constantly losing his voice. It was all due to
his habit of sticking his neck forward which was putting pressure on his throat. He sounded
quite squeaky when he spoke. What he should have been doing is keeping his ears in line with
his shoulders. Your head should feel as though it is floating on the top of your body! So watch.
2. Now most of us feel nervous before we speak in public. You will feel better if you spend some
time dealing with this tension. It is good to try and about what it is that is making you feel this
way. That way you can have control over it. Next, try to locate the area of tension in your body,
Often it's your neck or shoulders. Then concentrate on massaging these parts and consciously
trying to relax them. Believe me, it works!
To maximize your performance make sure you prepare your notes well, practise what you want
to say, preferably aloud and then most important of all, try to feel you really want to share your
subject with your audience. If you feel and share your enthusiasm with them, you're more than
half-way there.
Remember that how people feel about you and what you are saying to them will depend on
your body language. There are three main behaviour types-assertive, aggressive and passive.
You can use any of these types. Although I think the assertive posture is one that suits most
occasions the best.
