Tempo in Public Speaking Updates

Be careful in regulating your tempo not to get your movement too fast.This is a common fault with amateur speakers. Mrs. Siddons rule was,"Take time." A hundred years ago there was used in medical circles a preparation known as "the shot gun remedy;" it was a mixture of about fifty different ingredients, and was given to the patient in the hope that at least one of them would prove efficacious! That seems a rather poor scheme for medical practice, but it is good to use "shot gun" tempo for most speeches, as it gives a variety. Tempo, like diet, is best when mixed.
