		<description><![CDATA[I recently blogged briefly about a presentation skill I picked up from a crying baby in church and this (even more brief!) blog follows on from that&#8230;.
Now to talk about presentation pitch&#8230;.
I listened to the singing in the service. Over 200 people should make quite a decent amount of noise, especially as the hymn in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I used to think it was a (bad) joke when I heard presenters checking the microphone was turned on by asking if it was.  If it is, or course, the whole audience can hear you asking and your credibility takes a tumble before you even start.  If it isn’t, no one knows you’re [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know it&#8217;s not quite technically correct all the time, but one of the ways children are taught about where to put commas into sentences is to think about where they&#8217;d breathe if they were saying it out loud.  It doesn&#8217;t work all the time but it&#8217;s a pretty handy rule of thumb.

		<description><![CDATA[For the Fallen, by Laurence Binyon is just about the hardest piece of public reading I&#8217;m going to have to work on for quite some time.  I&#8217;m working on it to be read later today at a Poppy Service; and it&#8217;s important to me to get it absolutely right.  Absolutely.
Normally I forgive myself [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I commented on lighter, higher voices having an advantage because they traveled further.  This morning is a &#8216;brain off&#8217; morning and I&#8217;m sitting, vegged out, in front of the TV.  Which is fine, &#8216;cos it&#8217;s showing &#8220;BATMAN; the brave and the bold&#8221;.  (Cultured? Me?)
Batman, of course, is calm, powerful and brooding. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Breaks between words are what tells us when a word has finished: there&#8217;s bound to be an ancient proverb somewhere about it. Speaking without the slight gaps between words can make you harder for your audience to understand, in exactly the same ways as takingoutthespaces makes your written stuff harder to read.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve posted (and perhaps even ranted!) about the 7% myth in the past.  Now, at last, the man who did the original (mis-)quoted research speaks out.  He did an interview for BBC Radio 4 recently.  I don&#8217;t know how long the recording will stay live, so get it while you can.  [...]]]></description>
