Although some may use speech preparation note styles simultaneously, choosing a specific form varies with our familiarity and experience with the Topic Discussion."Full Text" notes may work in our favor if we are giving a speech for the first time. Making the text large and triple spacing can be quite useful.

"Flash Cards" are great for those of us who have quite a bit of experience with public speaking, or may have previously spoken on a particular topic.

They're efficient enough to contain key points, reminders and definitions. Flash Cards are very facile - easy to maneuver and effective.

Still yet, some of us are comfortable with incorporating thespian while speaking. Using body language - roaming our designated area of speech to capture, draw the interest and keep the focus of our audience.

"Outlines" pair well with this style of presentation - we're able to glance at our notes every so often - keep our bearings straight and remind ourselves of each point we need to cover.

NOTE: Regardless of how familiar and at ease we are with using body language during our presentations, outlines can be unforgiving at times, leaving us with little to fall back on if we get stuff.
