Adapting to the setting

As the chapter was saying making sure that your prepared for the venue where you will be giving your speech is another important aspect. The location will determine the size of your audience, the availability of technological resources, the rooms configuration and any possible distractions.

There have only been a few times in the past when public speaking has taken me out of the smaller settings of the classroom and into a larger auditorium. When I did speak in auditorium it was for a speech competition in elementary school and they had us practice there at least three to four times before the day of the speech came. Even though it has been a long time since I gave that speech the fact that my teacher had me practice it there made giving the speech a little bit easier.
