Your voice
How do I get the style and tone right?
<movie>file=/video/mootingcomplete/StyleTone.flv|width=512|height=288</movie> What impression would you like to give to the judge? How will you stand up to having your every move scrutinised - it's not just what you say but how you say it.
Discussion points include:
- Eye contact not eye balling?
- Minimising flappage
- Flexibility
- Fine line between confidence and aggression/arrogance
- R-E-S-P-E-C-T! (Who didn't sing that in their head then?!)
Avoid complications
<movie>file=/video/mootingcomplete/AvoidMakingThingsComplicated.flv|width=512|height=288</movie> It's not uncommon to get so uptight about a moot that you forget that a moot is simply a conversation, albeit with a few rules and some slightly unusual turns of phrase.
This clip really highlights the benefits of the no-frills approach:
- Keep it simple
- Use plain language
- Be clear and concise if you want to be persuasive
Is this loud enough?
It can be quite difficult to decide what volume to pitch your voice at; do you think this young lawyer is loud enough?
