5 necessary items for an interesting speech:
1. Lots and lots of APPROPRIATE energy
2. Interesting topic that almost everyone (doesn't have to be EVERYONE) can relate to
3. Visual aids or relative hand gestures -- usually they catch my attention and I'm able to pay attention and engage in the speech
4. Not too many distracting body movements -- fidgeting, excessive hand movements, etc.
5. Great attention getters! I love them =)
