The outline should also keep you very aware of the arrangement of the speech and ensure that you don t skip things or go out of order

General Advice Rehearse aloud with a timer and in front of live audiences that can give you some feedback. Use a manuscript or key word outline that has Large print that you can easily read. Use a serif font (such as times new roman) rather than a sans-serif (like this one, arial). Those little ends on the letters make it much easier to read. Give yourself timing and delivery cues on your outline or manuscript. Use bold face to indicate emphasis, etc. When you practice, try to become more familiar with the ideas and arrangement of the speech (rather than the specific words). Above all, focus on breath. Treat each phrase in your speech to a good, calm breath. This will improve your mental clarity, your vocal and bodily qualities, and your audience connection. Since you must breathe, you might as well do it mindfully
