How To Be A Good Public Speaker

By Zachary Justice


Feeling less confident when speaking in public? However, there are some things that can help you speak with confidence in public.

Keep your eyes on the public at all times.

You should just relax. You are fully prepared so you have nothing to worry about. Just go on with your speech.

If you can, use visual aids. Illustrations or visual data can help drive home a point or better explain what you are trying to convey. They get your concepts in an instant. Do not however show anything complicated. If, for example, you don't have the visual, then just remember to use words that would describe succinctly your point.

Distribute a handout about your speech. The handout will give them an introduction to your speech and will prepare them for what is coming. They will be inclined to reciprocate your gesture and give you their undivided attention. Above all else, be precise and avoid any ambiguity. Use the layman's language and don't use words that will exasperate the reader.

Do not think of how you can survive the speech, but on how you can do your speech brilliantly.

It is paramount that your audience will understand and follow the direction of your speech as it will boost your morale and manifest in your confident delivery. In preparing your speech, write down your premises and arrange them in an orderly manner. So, for example, you are speaking in favor of stem cell research, enumerate your reasons why it is so, and close your speech with a conclusion.

It will be a bad thing if you are making a speech like a robot so vary the inflection especially when stressing a point. You can speak animatedly but in moderation. If you are emphasizing a point, slow down emphatically. You can be a more persuasive and convincing speaker if you manifest hints of anger or frustration or similar emotional outbursts in your speech.

Check out the various books available on how to present excellently. There are many books that are available that can help you boost your confidence in speaking in front of many people. For a more comprehensive discussion of the art of speaking in public, look for websites where you can get audio and visual lessons.

Some people who started as shaky and nervous speakers eventually find out that they have the gift and actually savor the opportunity of speaking in front of a large audience. Once you have learned to enjoy your presentations or even a part of these presentations, your confidence in yourself will greatly increase.
