Peter Mead has posted a checklist of 20 questions (well, 88, actually, but they boil down to 20) about a preacher’s delivery.

I summarise:-

1. What do your tone and manner communicate to your hearers?
2. Does your speech flow smoothly?
3. How is your eye contact?
4. Are your notes working for you, or against you?
5. Does your preaching furniture get in the way?
6. What are your feet doing while you preach?
7. Do your gestures complement what you are saying?
8. Does your face reflect your heart?
9. How effective are your pauses?
10. Is your pace about right, and appropriately varied?
11. Is your volume about right, and appropriately varied?
12. Is the pitch of your voice about right, and appropriately varied?
13. Is your posture comfortable?
14. Is your choice of words appropriate for your audience?
15. Does what you say actually make sense?
16. Is what you wear appropriate?
17. Do you have any irritating or distracting mannerisms?
18. Do you communicate genuineness?
19. How do you pray about delivery?
20. Do you have a strategy for developing as a public speaker?
