"This speech is going to be great!", you think to yourself as you thoroughly prepare for giving a great presentation. As you enter the stage you smile and thank the audience for coming. Standing up straight, you use body manipulation to convey your idea appropriately. You constantly look up from your notes to give each audience member a little bit of eye contact. Each word is well rehearsed and pronounced. The message of the speech is projected easily because you, the speaker, are using all of your freshly learned speaking techniques. Your rate is steady, your volume is appropriate, and you pause at all the right times! Once you come to the end of your speech your audience gives you a huge round of applause! You Did it right!

― Winston S. Churchill
