in front of a mirror, even to your pets. The
more comfortable you feel with the material, the more confident
you'll sound. Now, let's talk about body language. You know
that feeling when someone walks into a room and just
commands attention. That's not magic. It's confidence projected through posture,

(01:48):
eye contact and gestures. Stand tall, make eye contact with
different people in the audience, and use your hands to
emphasize key points. Think of your body as an extension
of your message. It should be conveying the same energy
and enthusiasm you feel inside. Voice modulation is another game changer. Ever,
notice how a good speaker can make even the most

and pace to keep your audience engaged. Emphasize important words,
pause for dramatic effect, and let your voice reflect the
emotions you're trying to convey. And finally, remember that it's
okay to be nervous. Even the most seasoned speakers feel

(02:29):
butterflies before a big presentation. The key is to channel
that energy into positive excitement. Take deep breaths, visualize yourself succeeding,
and remind yourself that you have something valuable to share.
Now picture this. You're at a conference about to give
a presentation on a topic you're passionate about. Your heart
is pounding a little bit, but instead of letting fear

(02:50):
take over, you remember what we just talked about. You
stand tall, make eye contact with the audience, and your
voice projects confidence and enthusiasm. You weave your story naturally,
using gestures to emphasize key points and varying your tone
to keep them engage. The room feels alive and people
