Interactive Videos 10.1, 10.2, 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3

A concept that I learned from these video 12.1 was the use of your voice. Volume can be a very effective way to get your audience's attention. Luckily, from the comments that I receive from my presentations, most people have mention that I do have a clear and loud voice. Another concept I've learn was how to control your tone. Speaking too lively and quickly can easily distract the audience. They won't really pay attention to the content of your speech, but they would be distracted by the way you are talking. Speaking calmly, yet no with a monotone, at a decent pace is the most effective way to capture your audience's attention to maintain that attention through out the presentation.
In video 12.2 I gained more knowledge about how presenters should maintain their postures and their appearance. The video also taught about eye contact and your body movement. These tips do help because again, these are the main points to delivering a good speech. You want the audience to focus on what you have to say rather than to focus on your appearance only.

From tte videos, what I plan on applying to my third speech is body gestures. For me though, it's the hand gestures in general. Some of the audience noted that I have hand gestures. I think that might be distracting some people a little.
