Speech is also important in making a good impression. Following are good and bad characteristics: • Speak loudly and clearly. • Do not have anything in the mouth such as gum, candy or a lozenge. • Practice ahead of time saying words that are unfamiliar or difficult to pronounce. • Unless forced by questioning, give testimony chronologically. • If testifying for the defense (which will usually be the case), use euphemisms for inflammatory words such as “hurt” instead of “stabbed.” • Do not answer confusing questions. Ask for clarification. • Be as accurate as possible concerning times and places, where evidence was found, important words spoken by witnesses, and other details that help the jury form a picture in their minds. • Use proper pronunciation. Consult the dictionary in advance if you are unclear on a word you expect to have to say while testifying. • Do not mumble. • Avoid lazy speech or speech suggestive of a poor education. • Practice testimony in front of a mirror or another person, or record it with an audio or video recorder and study it prior to appearing in court.
