Goal in public speaking: to have your intended message delivered depending on what you say (verbal) and how you say it (nonverbal) Use given time wisely to narrow down the topic. Make ideas clear and convincing by doing research and giving supporting details. Make use of accurate, clear, vivid, and appropriate words. Also send the message with your tone, appearance, gestures, facial expressions, and eye contact. Make sure your nonverbal does not distract from your verbal message: channel.
