Look at your notes only when you need a reminder. Write keywords on your cards instead of the whole speech, to avoid reading the whole speech.

Speak in a slow, natural tone.
Use clear, correct language. Do not use slang, or such sounds as ‘ah’, ‘dah’, ‘um’ or ‘like’.
Stand up tall. Don’t slump, sway or lean.
