3. Public speaking requires a different method of delivery.
When conversing informally most people talk quietly, interject stock phrases such
as “like” and “you know,” adopt a casual posture, and use what are called vocalized
pauses (“uh”, “er”, “um”). Effective public speakers, however, adjust their voices to
be heard clearly throughout the audience. They assume a more erect posture. They
avoid distracting mannerism and verbal habits.
