There was also almost a goofy, smiley-ness, which may have indicated nerves.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/06\/13\/76246451-12601791-image-m-26_1696594735094.jpg\" height=\"490\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>In July last year, as he campaigned to be PM, Sunak&#8217;s speech in Grantham saw him rely much more heavily on notes, and seem more nervous at the lectern<\/p>\n<p>The PM struggled to sound convincing, says Matt: &#8216;If we look at where he used intonation in that speech, where he landed his messages, where he brought weight and punch, it doesn&#8217;t sound completely natural.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It was almost like he was trying too hard to land the points with intonation and impact. It&#8217;s a good speech but it doesn&#8217;t quite have that polish of someone that&#8217;s been doing this for many years.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s speech? A very different affair, says Matheson.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We saw a calmer, more stable presence; primarily in Mr Sunak&#8217;s body, which then informs how his voice sounds, and how it&#8217;s picked up by the audience.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;When he did move his body on stage in Manchester, it was in a more conscious manner. He paused &#8211; in his body &#8211; when he wanted a certain message to come.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/06\/13\/76169739-12601791-Mr_Sunak_delivered_his_speech_on_the_final_day_of_the_party_conf-a-21_1696594596889.jpg\" height=\"454\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mr Sunak delivered his speech on the final day of the party conference where he vowed to\u00a0 &#8216;change&#8217; Britain like Margaret Thatcher did<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/06\/13\/76169745-12601791-Prime_Minister_Rishi_Sunak_and_his_wife_Akshata_Murty_greet_peop-a-22_1696594604153.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty greet people on stage at the Conservative Party&#8217;s annual conference in Manchester<\/p>\n<p>The PM appeared slightly less nasally, and a little lower in tone too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Says Matheson: &#8216;When we are in our head rather than our body, we tend to talk faster and that can come out more nasally.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When we&#8217;re confident in our message, there tends to be less of that faster dialogue which can lead to a nasally delivery.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The verdict? Has the PM worked with a speech coach or orator? &#8216;I think there&#8217;s a good chance he has. Do I think he&#8217;s completely there? No. He doesn&#8217;t seem 100 per cent comfortable, and he doesn&#8217;t seem 100 per cent authentic. From a delivery point of view, in terms of making a famous speech in history, there&#8217;s work to be done still.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sunak&#8217;s speech was the joint longest delivered by a Conservative prime minister at a party conference this century, equalling the one hour and four minutes managed by Theresa May in 2017.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Key themes included stopping work on the HS2 links between Birmingham and Manchester, an incremental smoking ban and tougher sentences for sexually-motivated murderers.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-12601791\/Great-ora-Tory-Rishi-public-speaking-lessons-PMs-polished-delivery-Conservative-Conference-calmer-nasally-statesman-like-says-speech-expert.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Has Rishi Sunak had public speaking lessons?
