Public Speaking - The Art of Speech Making
Common Fears of Public SpeakingWhat happens when you have to speak in public?Did you know that public speaking tops the list of phobias for most people? Not spiders or heights - public speaking - speech in public!Your body will do all kinds of unpleasant things to you when you have to stand up and face a sea of faces with the hope of getting your message across in a compelling and interesting way.Your hands may sweat and your mouth goes dry. Your knees may shake and a quaver affects your voice. Your heart may race and those well known butterflies invade your stomach.When all that happens most people don't think of getting their message across in a compelling and interesting way; they just think of getting off the 'stage' as quickly as possible!BUT
It's normalI don't really mean to frighten you, just remind you that your body reacts 'in extremis' when put under pressure, and for most people, public speaking is just about the worst pressure they can be put under.It's normal to be nervous and have a lot of anxiety when speaking in public. In a way, it's less normal not to have nerves or anxiety; in fact, to feel you have a phobia about public speaking.Why does public speaking do this to us?You may be judged by all those people, and judged badly You may feel like a fool You might make mistakes and loose your way You'll be completely humiliated 'They' won't like you 'They' won't 'get' what you're trying to say
Get your attention off yourselfIt's very tempting to keep focused on how you're feeling, especially if you're feeling really uncomfortable. You'll start to notice every bead of sweat.To make your nerves work for you, you need to focus on just about anything other than yourself. You can distract yourself by paying attention to the environment in which you're speaking and seeing how you can make it work for you.Once you're actually in front of your audience, pay attention to them. If you can, notice how people are dressed, who's wearing glasses, who has on bright colours. There will be dozens and dozens of things you can pay attention to help you trick your mind into not noticing what's going on with you.Anything will do and you will find that the less you concentrate on how you are feeling and the more you concentrate on other things, the more confident you will feel.How to build confidence in Public SpeakingYour audience can be your friendIndian people are quite emotional. Unless you know you're absolutely facing a hostile group of people, human nature is such that your audience wants you succeed. They're on your side!Therefore, rather than assuming they don't like you, give them the benefit of the doubt that they do.They aren't an anonymous sea of faces, but real people. So to help you gain more confidence when speaking in public, think of ways to engage your audience. Remember, even if they aren't speaking, you can still have a two-way conversation.When you make an important point pay attention to the people who are nodding in agreement and the ones who are frowning in disagreement. As long as you are creating a reaction in your audience you are in charge.
Keep them awakeThe one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleep because if they sleep then you are in trouble. Ways to keep them away includeAsk questions Maintain eye contact for a second or two with as many people as possible Voice modulation
The voice has characteristics like tone, volume, rate of speech, pitch, accent - so very important as they tend to convey not only the speaker’s emotions but also endorse the verbal meanings.
Volume is the loudness or softness which has to be according to the number of persons addressed and the distance between speaker and listener.
Pitch is the high or low note of the scale. A high pitched voice is not necessarily attention grabbing. It could be unpleasant and could convey immaturity or emotional disturbance within the speaker. Pitch of the voice can be controlled to convey importance, interest and excitement. It can also add significance to the message.
The speed at which the speaker speaks is yet another aspect of voice
Other qualities like rhythm, clear pronunciation, and good accent too play an important role. Focus on positives not negativesAny training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well.MistakesMistakes are all right.Recovering from mistakes makes you appear more human.Good recovery puts your audience at ease - they identify with you more.HumourTell jokes if you're good at telling jokes.If you aren't good, best to leave the jokes behind.There's nothing worse than a punch line that has no punch.Gentle humour is good in place of jokes.Self-deprecation is good, but try not to lay it on too thick.
Tell storiesStories make you a real person not just a deliverer of information.Use personal experiences to bring your material to life.No matter how dry your material is, you can always find a way to humanize it.How to use the public speaking environmentTry not to get stuck in one place.Use all the space that's available to you.Move around.One way to do this is to leave your notes in one place and move to another.If your space is confined (say a meeting room or even presenting at a table) use stronger body language to convey your message.TechnologySpeak to your audience not your slides.Your slides are there to support you not the other way around.Ideally, slides should be graphics and not words (people read faster than they hear and will be impatient for you to get to the next point).If all the technology on offer fails, it's still you they've come to hear.You can learn to enjoy public speaking and become far more effective at standing in front of a group of people and delivering a potent message.When it comes to improving your public speaking skills i have three word
