Practice more often so you can deliver your speech with conviction.

Avoid outdated evidence.
Choose reputable or credible sources of your evidence.

Avoid logical fallacies or errors in reasoning.
Types of Logical Fallacies
1. AD HOMINEM: This happens when you attack the character of a person instead of his argument.
Example: Professor X does not deserve to be the head of this organization because he is separated from his wife.
2. CIRCULAR ARGUMENT: This happens when the idea of a stated argument is repeated.
Example: My mother is a good teacher because she teaches me well.
3. FALSE ANALOGY: This happens when two things, which might be alike in some respects, are compared and assumed to be similar in other ways.
Example: President Duterte is the Hitler of the 21st Century.
4. FALSE AUTHORITY: This happens when a statement of someone who is not an expert in the field in question is being used in an agreement.
Example: I avoid drinking coffee at night because of the advice of my English teacher.
5. FALSE CAUSE AND EFFECT: This happens when the connection between the two events is not clear.
Example: Because I attended a party, I got a high grade in my persuasive speech.
6. HASTY GENERALIZATION: This happens when a conclusion is drawn from the insufficient evidence.
Example: The senator stuttered while giving his speech, therefore government officials are not good at public speaking.
7. RED HERRING: This happens when the answer does not address the question.
Example: Should the President sign the Cyberbullying bill into law? Answer: The President has other priorities.
D. HOW TO USE EMOTIONAL APPEAL
Internalize what you are saying.
Use emotion properly.
