Tips you can use!

Slow and steady...
You may fear your listeners are "tuning out" and decide to speed it up. But fight that impulse! Speaking at a faster pace won't help; it will probably make them tune out even sooner.

Keep standing tall
When you stand up straight you automatically claim authority. You look and sound more powerful. It feels awkward at first but you'll get used to it to more you do it.

Don't mirror bad vocal habits
It's natural to "mirror" your conversation partner, but don't slip into her/his tendencies to upspeak or engage in "vocal fry." Such borrowed bad habits have a way of insinuating themselves into your speaking pattern. And they can be devlishly hard to get rid of!
