Find the funny in the not-so funny

Fellow speaker,

World Champion Craig Valentine suggests looking for the funny even if you're giving a "serious" speech with a serious point. When you give the speech, make a sudden shift from serious to humorous with no hint about what you're going to do. The sharper the difference between serious and humorous, the funnier the audience will find it.

Suddenly funny,
