Ways to Enhance Your Public Speaking Technique



You may say I dont need to do that however public speaking is called for in many ways:- to give a speech at a wedding

to say a Thank You after a presentation

to speak to some students about your job

You probably have been through many occasions when you were requested to present a speech. After a sudden burst of energy, you are bowed by the irrepressible fear over a seemingly manageable task. Some speeches need preparation and practice. Those types call for more time so you can conduct a thorough research and development. What if you are put on the spot and asked for an impromptu speech? Are you going to refuse and say you do not have enough time to prepare?

A spontaneous unplanned speech causes as much anxiety as an anticipated one. No matter what, you should never deny people from hearing you out and learning from your words of wisdom. Unless you have a justifiable reason, never decide to engage in a tug-of-war every time someone asks you to speak in front of an audience. It is not a very pleasant reflection of you as a social being.

When people ask for your opinion, you must realize that they value your idea over some issues. They believe that you have something to say on the matter that the rest may have overlooked. Unless you have become a resident on some remote planet that knows no news, you always have an idea over something. That means you always have a say over something, so say it.

The best rule is to always be sincere and truthful. Be yourself. Even the most skillful actors will find it hard to be somebody else when asked about their personal opinions. It is never wise to try hard and mimic some ideal personality when you are delivering a speech. It will just come off as contrived and artificial. Your audience will feel your insincerity and will find it difficult to believe what you are saying. A skeptical audience is always unforgiving. You will find yourself at the center of mockery. Therefore, say what you mean and mean what you say.

Establish a connection with your audience. The spectators are not there to put you down or to make your life miserable. They are there to listen to you and learn from you, more than eager to hear what you want to convey to them. Be one with your audience. Joke with them if you must but always be appropriate. Do not sacrifice the values of propriety and decorum over the attention of your audience.

Most of all, it helps if you do it more often. Accept speaking engagements. Do not refuse those precious moments when someone asks you to share your opinions. Speak out. It is through constant repetition that we get the hang of something. Once you do, public speaking will become second nature to you.
