You want to speak clearly and loudly enough for the people in the back row to hear you. You can practice this by opening your hand and putting it over your diaphragm which is roughly between your navel and chest. Stand straight so you can breathe in deeply this calms you as it helps you speak loudly. When you are speaking from your diaphragm feel the vibrations the sound carries farther than when you re speaking from your throat as most people usually do.
