It's time to overcome what people fear more than death is public speaking. This article will help you through this stressful event. See Step 1:
preparing Speeches
1. Choose your speech. Your speech should be summarized in a sentence. It is your speech that really boils down to: what would you start with and what would you conclude. It's simple and people can understand it. And it will be easier for you, too!
• Who are they? Age?
• Why do they exist? Taught something? Because they have to? Because they really interested?
• How long have they been there?
4. Research your subject. If your subject is you, congratulations! You probably already know you like the back of your hand (or arm or leg). But if not, be examined. Pros and cons! If people can poke holes in your argument, it's not a very effective speech.
• Have at least three points to support the message
• Only complicate the audience as much as you can tolerate. Stay away from jargon and technical terms if it will leave your audience scratching their heads and feel out of place
5. Use stories, humor and metaphor. A speech full of dull, statistics can make the audience bored. Instead, opt for a story - it is easier to follow structure-- and make them live with things like metaphor and antithesis.
• Self-deprecating humor (making fun of myself) have a place. Again, this comes down to knowing your audience and your speech format. A man best speech? Absolutely right. Overcoming the president of your company about the location of the budget? Probably not.
• The antithesis is about using the opposite
• Think active, too. "When we had the manpower, we can force change," is much more powerful when it turned around - "We can force change when we have a workforce" Make them sit in their seats, you know?
8. You must have a clear introduction, body and conclusion. The introduction and conclusion should both short and to the point, the conclusion becomes a repetition of the intro. And the body? Well, that's everything else.
Part Two of Three:
practicing Speech
1. Write down your main points. Now you have all you want to say, write down your main points. Part of what you're not sure of yourself on?
• Get to the point where you feel comfortable giving the speech.
• This does not mean that you should go there unarmed. If your mind is empty, you can look around and go to the place where you need to. Send it to someone. This is a great idea for a few reasons:
• Communicate to someone helps you get used to someone looking at you while you're talking. public speaking can be quite intimidating, so it had an audience of practice will help calm your nerves.
• Do they really pay attention. At the end of your speech, ask them what questions arise in their minds. Is there a hole in your argument? Or do something to confuse them?
3. Practice in front of a mirror and in the bathroom. Really, you have to practice wherever you can. But these two places will be very useful:
• Practice in front of a mirror so you can see your body language. what movement work where? How do you feel about the break and what you do for them?
• Practice in the bathroom because it's probably one you can think of going beyond that. Is your mind a blank on each section?
4. At that time you might have some idea of how long your speech. You are given a specific time slot or you are given a length requirements for speech. Try to get it comfortably above the minimum and maximum comfortable under - that way if you do not intentionally speed up or slow down.
Delivering Speech
• your speech convey some emotion, right? (The correct answer: Yes.) Take a moment and move with them. You use your hands at all times to express emotion. You still communicate with people, only on a larger scale. Although the scale is different, the motion remains the same.
2. if you can use props.
• Use graphs to illustrate your point, especially if they are difficult to understand. The images can be more memorable than factoid just told, regardless of how important it may be.
• Do not face the picture when you're talking!
• Show emotions in your tone. Do not be afraid to laugh a little or show a bit of sadness or frustration.
• Take your speech and actually write on pause if it will help you.
7. Conclude by restating your message and say "Thank you." You've been through speeches, no one has died, and it is time for your conclusions. Focus your eyes with the audience, thanking them, smile, and get off the stage.
• Take a deep breath. You do it. The next time you will give a speech about how to give a speech. What are you so nervous in the first place?
