Make sure it also has the comfort you need. If the clothes are not comfortable, you may not pay full attention to yourspeech.Making connectionsMake a personal connection with someone in the audience (听众).It might be someone you know that you can call out to, or someone in the front row you can speak directly to. Maybe your speech leads you to ask them a question, which is an easy way for you to take yourself from the stage and place yourself as one of your audience. It also takes the pressure off.
