First impressions last! The way you START a speech sets the tone for the entire presentation.

If you're settling for boring "Good morning, today I'm going to talk about .... " style openings, your audience has bought a front row ticket to YAWNFEST.??

Here are my 3 surprising ways to open a speech:?

1. SOUND IN STORY - dive in to dialogue right away to set the scene.?

2. START WITH SILENCE - don't say anything, DO something or use a prop.?

3. OPPOSITES ATTRACT - start in complete contravention to expectations.?

To hear these techniques in full (and some great examples), check out episode 203 of That Voice Podcast - https://www.sallyprosser.com.au/thatvoicepodcast/203
