to give a speech we must know the steps.
steps1: preparing the speech
a) pick you massage.
Your speech should be able to summed up in a sentence, maybe two.
This is what your speech really boils down to: it's what you'll start off with and what you'll return to at the end.
b)know your audience.
This will determine the entirety of your speech. So know your audience.
Think of what you will gain, overcoming the fear of public speaking.
d)Research your subject.
If your subject is you, congratulations!But if it's not, get to researching. The pros and the cons!
A speech that's full of dull, meaningless statistics and facts probably won't get you anywhere with any audience
g)Jump right in.
When a speech goes viral on YouTube, you know it's good
Don't talk about painting -- get right in there and start creating an image for them. They're there for your speech, not how you felt about it or how you feel now. Hook 'em from the get-go by starting strong outta the gate.
h)Write it out.
Because forming a speech in your head is a lot of work. Write it out, see how it transitions from point to point.
You should have a clear introduction, body, and conclusion
steps2: practicing the speech
now that you have everything you want to say figured out (and hopefully on paper), write down your main points.
Get to the point where you're comfortable delivering it just with the notecard. The more comfortable you are with the speech, the more it'll show when you're delivering it.
b)Memorize it.
If you have it memorized, you can make eye contact with your audience and worry about the icing on the cake, like gestures and inflection. Don't stress if you don't have enough time -- but if you do, take advantage of it. If your mind blanks, you can take a look-see at it and go right where you need to.
c)Deliver it to someone.
Delivering it to someone helps you get used to someone looking at you while you're talking. Public speaking can be pretty terrifying, so having a practice audience will help calm your nerves.
Really, you should be practicing wherever you can. But these two spots will be particularly useful: Practice in front of the mirror so you can see your body language. and then Practice in the shower.
You probably have some idea of how long your speech. Try to get it comfortably above the minimum and comfortably below the maximum.
steps3: Delivering the Speech
Standing like you have a fig leaf over your crotch is not the way to give a captivating speech.Your speech conveys a certain amount of emotion, right? You use your hands every day to express emotion.
b)use props
This should be used carefully, though. Don't whip out a different prop every sentence. Stick to one really effective prop, like the brain.
Use them sparingly, but effectively.
c)Know when and how to use pictures.
A powerpoint can be a great addition to a speech (for certain topics, at least).
Use graphs to illustrate your points, especially if they're hard to understand. Pictures can be more memorable than just being told factoid, regardless of how pivotal it may be.
Don't face the pictures when you're talking!
Don't face the pictures when you're talking!
Make eye contact with a person over here, a person over there, etc. Draw them in one at a time instead of making them all feel glossed over.
. In general, sure, you should talk at a calm, understandable rate and speak with clarity. Show emotion in your tone, don't be afraid to chuckle a bit or show a bit of grief or frustration. You're human. Your audience is looking for a human connection, not a robot spitting words at them.
There's just as much power in the pauses as there is in the words.Take your speech and literally write in the pauses if it'll help you. Once you have it down, you'll be able to feel where the pauses will go.
g)Conclude by restating your message and saying a simple, "Thank you."
You've gone through the speech, and now it's time for your conclusion. Keep it to the point, lock eyes with the audience, thank them, smile, and get off the stage.
Finish, and good luck to give a speech :)
