Vocal Variety

! Pace – speed up to build excitement, slow down for emphasis
! Pause – build anticipation, allow time for your point to land, make room for dialogue

Non-Verbal Communication
! Make eye-contact with individuals. One sentence/thought at a time.
! Your voice goes where your eyes go. To fill a room make eye contact with people at the back.
! Don’t scan the room, be random
! Gesture with whole arm not just from elbow down
! Gestures need to be launched and released
! The bigger the space, the larger the gestures. The smaller the space, the smaller the gestures.

David Lloyd George, WWI I am in the happy position of being, I think, the first British Minister of the Crown who, speaking on behalf of the people of this country, can salute the American Nation as comrades in arms. I am glad; I am proud. I am glad not merely because of the stupendous resources which this great nation will bring to the succour of the alliance, but I rejoice as a democrat that the advent of the United States into this war gives the final stamp and seal to the character of the conflict as a struggle against military autocracy throughout the world. That was the note that ran through the great deliverance of President Wilson. It was echoed, Sir, in your resounding words today. The United States of America have the noble tradition, never broken, of having never engaged in war except for liberty. And this is the greatest struggle for liberty that they have ever embarked upon. I am not at all surprised, when one recalls the wars of the past, that America took its time to make up its mind about the character of this struggle. In Europe most of the great wars of the past were waged for dynastic aggrandizement and conquest.
