When you are practicing your speech, make a mark on the paper to indicate when you should breathe. This will help your speech sound more natural. Sometimes in high-stress situations, like speaking in front of a group, we forget to breathe. These marks on your script will ensure that you don’t get to the end of a long passage and gasp for breath.
