A really good monologue of sorts is public speaking but when it comes to this monologue, it's addressed to receptive, able, and ready audience who wants to learn from just as you would want to learn from them.
If it is listened to, then speaking in public would be more effective. The following are effective tips to maintain that necessary contact with the audience.
Don't forget to greet them
A few minutes prior to your actual speaking engagement, try walking around the venue and familiarize yourself with the people who will be listening to you. Give the people and the attendees a warm greeting as they arrive. It is so much easier to deliver a speech to a group of people whom you consider as friends than to a bunch of anonymous faces.
Be positive
Succeeding is what people expect and want you to do. Audiences want to be as informed, stimulated and entertained as they could be. If you do fail, then they will cringe with you. If you succeed, then your audience will benefit just as well from your great speaking performance.
You have nothing to be sorry about
You may be setting the audience up to focus on that thing you are apologizing for if you mention to them that you are nervous or if you express your apologies to any problems you think may exist about your speech or your speech delivery. It isn't necessary to mention this to them because it's possible they haven't noticed this until you brought it up. Try to relax and be silent. Your audience will also relax if you relax.
Make eye contact
Appear natural and connect with your audience. It would be better if be as natural as you can be without overdoing it. Getting the audience to nod their heads as an acknowledgement of what you are trying to convey is what you should be able to do. Do not breeze through your speech. During those points you want to emphasize, you need to pause for a while or for a brief moment. You can also consider this a good time to establish eye contact with your attendees and you can also catch that much needed breath.
Never debate
It's not necessary to aggressively prove your point to an audience member if, during the question and answer part of your speaking engagement, an audience expresses his or her disagreement with any part of your message. A futile means to get your point across is a debate but besides that, it could just as well never be resolved. If you want to get that attendee to talk with you, make sure it's after your speaking engagement and not during.
