Eye contact: The speaker looks at the entire audience throughout the

presentation.

Volume: The speaker is neither too loud nor soft and projects his/her voice so

that the audience can hear effectively.

Articulation: The speaker clearly enunciates--no mumbling.

Poise: The speaker’s appearance, posture, and mannerisms are appropriate

for a formal speech and are not distracting to listeners.

Non-fluencies: The speaker has no unnatural breaks in rhythm or speech

(words like “um,” “like,” or “uh”).

Evidence of Rehearsal: It is clear the speaker is prepared and has practiced the

speech--they truly speak to the audience rather than simply reading word for

word from notes. Speaker cites sources verbally during the speech.
