Upfront narration

Fellow speaker,

The most important word in  your speech goes last, which means that any narrating in your speech goes first.  For example, "I said, 'Knock that off right now!' "  Notice that the narration "I said..." comes before the most important words "right now!".  This is because people remember best what they hear last, so the last thing you want your audience to hear is your point.

Upping it,

Tim
