When should I use a lectern when giving a speech or presentation?
WHATsUP
Question from Quora
Wow, great question? Some of the greatest speeches ever are from behind the lectern.
Martin Luther King’s ( MLK) speech, called “I Have a Dream” was behind the lectern.
Commemencent speeches, watch on Youtube aka Steve Jobs, and so many powerful speeches.
Most all Presidental speeches.
But!
If you need notes or are reading, then you need the lectern.
If your inexperienced and need notes; use captions, large print, and double space your lines. Even use something to slide down the page to keep your place.
Always remember the 3 p’s practice, practice, practice.
Reading a story or poem or any notes, learning to read and look at the audience can be done very effectively, but it takes the 3 p’s.
At Toastmaster meeting’s some clubs have comment slips, for each speaker. When you are introduced, have the audience told you will be reading the speech. Otherwise, you may be criticized for reading, if you are an experienced speaker.
If your looking for the place to learn and practice join Toastmasters International -Home or Weebeworld in Naga City, Philippines.
