Wow, I'm surprised no one has mentioned this! Dress appropriately for the speech. I hate when people who are supposedly giving a formal presentation show up in jeans. When asked to do peer reviews on student presentations, or real grading on presentations, I definitely mark down if the student/presenter is not dressed appropriately. You should be wearing business attire, especially if it's a taped speech for speech class. As dumb as it sounds, dressing up for a speech/presentation really works. It makes you feel more serious about what you're doing, plus it makes you look more serious to your audience, and your teacher.
