Golden Rule # 1, Don't treat your presentation as 'one actor show'. Engage your audience as well, and make it part of the presentation instead. The reason for doing that this way is no one likes being left aside. And if you only 'play' everything yourself, the role of an audience is strictly passive. Only if you let them participate in the whole thing, and they will remember what you told them.

Golden Rule # 2, You should know very well what you want to say, but not speak world by world. Exact world should be created just when you speak, like in normal dialog . This may be important because you may sound artificial and robotic if you speak ‘word by word’ or read from the paper.. You will want to remember that each of techniques I give you here, work only if some conditions apply. For example this one will do the job only if you know your material really well.

Golden Rule # 3, Use rhetorical devices that were used in famous speeches of the history. Like repeating something three times, putting two opposite ideas together in one sentence, and others.. You can find reasons you want to do this carefully. It is very important because so many speaker succeed using them, so you should try them too.

Golden Rule # 4, If you want to succeed in public speaking, take care of making your presentations dynamic. One can find other ways of accomplishing this, including changing style, changing tempo and the convention of your presentation. Also by using pauses, and operating your voice and body language.

Golden Rule # 5, Last but not least - the most important factor in public speaking is preparation. Prepare yourself every time you're going to speak in public. You might accomplish this by researching about your audience, defining your goal, rehearsing your material, and training in front of a mirror. This is absolutely important to prepare yourself properly every time. This may entail deciding what exactly do you want to accomplish with your presentation. What do you want to happen as best results of it (deal, sales, new career opportunities). Decide and write it down. Also rehearsing text of your speech is a great help. This could be really critical because doing so is the time you spent on preparing, that gives you the greater return of 'investment'.
