<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 3254598, member: 19250&quot;]Having taken several speech courses in college ,I would advise to pick a subject that has a hook.</p><p>Yes when you go fishing you set the hook...you need to capture the audience attention from the first paragraph.</p><p>You need not only to set the hook but instill in them the same passion you have for the subject matter.</p><p>Your body language your confidence in the subject matter will help set the hook.</p><p>Once you have their attention you spoon feed them the facts.</p><p>Write an outline. Using bullet points leading your message from A to Z.</p><p>This way when you go and memorize the text&nbsp; you will have a flow of your thoughts.....</p><p>By doing so you won&#039;t loose their interest and then mess up reading their faces as being bored or uninterested in your topic.</p><p>Watch some speakers... a minster giving&nbsp; a sermon&nbsp; in church, a politician etc...as you need to project to the audience that you are spot on and that what you are selling them is gospel.</p><p>Don&#039;t focus on a single person or object.... make eye contact thought out the room.</p><p>Make each person in the room believe that YOU are talking to THEM....not&nbsp; just a group.... of people. Or the wall in the back of the room...</p><p>The topic of civil war era coinage and the hoarding of hard money,the issuing of store tokens etc... Will tie into a time in history where our money changed in many directions. Giving you enough subject matter to cover many aspects of coin collecting.</p><p>Impromptu speaking&nbsp; is for the pros, bullet points will hold you on course, reacting with the guest eye to eye face to face will make you feel like your&#039;re talking to family or friends, less Chance to freeze up... make them &quot; the audience &quot;yours...not you theirs to control.</p><p>Once you set the hook their body language will make your job eaiser....as you&#039;ll relax and unload the wealth of Information you have to share with them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
