Lesson 1 - The Basics of Public Speaking
Surveys show that more people are afraid of speaking in public than of dying! This is not only amazing, it is also quite a problem because being able to speak well in public is an important skill in many careers. Being able to speak well is also
valuable in getting
a good jo
b in the first place.
Learn public speaking skill
from these articles and you will
not only have more success on
the job. Being able to get up in
front of an audience and give a
speech will greatly increase
your confidence.
The writer of these articles
is a professional teacher with
20 years experience helping
people speak more effectively.
In addition to the articles, you
can watch carefully chosen
speeches, with
comments added, that will show you how to be a great speaker. Before getting into details, here are five tips to help you get going:
1. Don't try to memorize a speech. Instead, use the "key points" approach, described in detail in Lesson
2.
2. Start strong with an interesting opening. It
doesn't have to be brilliant, but it has to get the audience focused on your topic. Various ways to do this will be explained in Lesson 5.
3. Don't speak too fast! This is a very common problem as nervous speakers try to finish as quickly as possible. Instead, take your time, and your audience will listen more attentively.
4. Be careful when using visual aids, including
(especially!) Power Point. They can be both distracting and confusing unless they are used appropriately. (See Lessons 11 and 14 for more on
this topic.)
5. Close your speech strongly with a "call to
action".
These five tips will get you started as a successful public speaker. You already have an advantage over other speakers. Now, let's learn how to really do a great job by moving on to Lesson 2 - Prepare
Your Speech.
Lesson 2 - An Easy Way to Prepare Any Speech
The Biggest Problem with Public Speaking Many people say they are afraid of public speaking because they "can't remember what to say". When they have to give a speech, they write it down on two or three (or more!) pages, then, of course they
have trouble remembering. Writing your speech down word for word is a very dangerous way to prepare. Some famous people, such as politicians, do have completely written speeches, but they have two important advantages. First,
they have professional speech
writers who will make sure the
words are perfectly clear and
perfectly organized. Second,
politicians will usually have a
"teleprompter", something like
a TV screen, from which they
can read their speech. They
rarely, if ever, memorize their
speeches!
A much more effective, and
efficient, way to prepare a
speech is to use the "Rule of
5". This is not an absolute
guide that you must follow,
