7 Tips for More Effective Speech

  1. Know your audience. Tailor vocabulary and examples to who is listening.
  2. Structure with a clear arc. Open with a hook, deliver 2–3 key points, close with a call to action.
  3. Control your pace. Aim for 100–200 words per minute. Pause after important points.
  4. Eliminate filler words. Replace "um" and "like" with brief silent pauses.
  5. Vary your tone. Monotone delivery loses attention — emphasize key words.
  6. Practice aloud. Reading silently is not enough; muscle memory builds with vocal practice.
  7. Get AI feedback. Use SpeekGuru to measure pace, clarity, and sentiment objectively.
