Here are the tips for effective speaking...

The 4 ‘C’s
While you may be the one speaking, speaking isn't really about you. It is about your audience. The 4 Cs will help you get in the mindset to give a great presentation or a podcast.

• Content - What is my message? Get this clear in your mind before you create your
  presentation or podcast.
  
• Consideration - Who is my audience and what is important to them?
  
• Confidence - What confidence tips will help me give a good performance?
  
• Contribution - How will my "mini-speech" help to inspire others? 
  
  
  The 5 ‘P’s make a awesome tip to remind us how to use our voice
  
  
  • Projection – Make sure you are easily heard, but not so loud that your audience is blasted by your voice when it's recorded.
    
  • Pace – Keep a steady pace to make sure you don’t exhaust your audience. You may like to vary the pace to keep it interesting, for example slowing down to build tension, speeding up to increase excitement.
    
  • Pitch – Vary your pitch to keep your voice interesting to listen to.
    
  • Pronunciation – Make sure all your words are clear. (Practice, practice, practice to help with pronunciation!)
    
  • Pause – Don’t be afraid of a moment of silence. Pausing will give time for your ideas
    to sink in.
