Learning Objectives

1) Facial Expressions

I find that when I am speaking, my face turns blank. I feel that I should learn how to exaggerate my facial expressions more to engage the audience

2) Using the stage

When I am giving a speech I am so focused on actually speaking, I am unaware of my body. I want to learn how to use the stage and my body language.
