The Art of Preaching (1)

Pacing your Preaching.
Preaching is an art and a skill. It is inspirational as wells educational. eventful as well as poetic.
Timing is important. It may not matter news you're on radio or TV. The allocated time allows you to say the essential things and leave the rest for the next show. It allows you to say what is necessary which in turn makes a message more memorable and specific. Too much content can confuse the listener as can too many points for too many stories. Know what your points are, enforce them and stop. Timing is important.
Set your pace, speak naturally, speak easily, imagine yourself having a conversation with a friend, Memorise your points, this will help train you memory. If folks are listening to learn the you may need to slow down. if folks are listening out of general interest then you can use a quicker pace.
To make a good presentation, practice reading aloud. yes when you read don't read it with your mind read it aloud. this allows you to pronounce every syllable distinctly and develop a natural conversational pace and volume. this then helps us to hear outlives as we would hear others.
If your pitch is high start off low. a naturally high pitched voice tends to get higher as one progresses in the sentence. practice the pitch and pace and you will be more interesting to the hearer and have more confidence as a public speaker.
