Dare To Speak

TIPS on Delivering A Speech

 

When I was having my first time to deliver a speech in front of hundreds people, I really felt that pairs of eyes were watching me from head to toe.... I felt like a criminal!!! I tried hard to solve this problem, and finally....after many times of practices.....I dare to speak !! wow, that's really unbelievable....and now I want to share some tips that hopefully can help anyone who hasn't had courage to speak in front of the audience. Here they are ...............

1. Choose an interesting topic which is booming at the time, understand it  and master it very well    

2. Practice, practice, practice! Rehearse out loud with all the equipment you plan on using.  Practice with a timer and allow time for the unexpected.

3. Know the audience. Greet some of the audience members as they arrive. It’s easier to speak to a group of friends than it is to speak to strangers, but you have to know your audience well. It will avoid you from the nerve and keep relax

4. Know the room. Arrive early, walk around the speaking area, and practice using the microphone and any visual aids.

 

5. Your voice should be loud, clear, and confident. Visualize the audience clapping—it will boost your confidence.

6. Realize that people want you to succeed. Audiences want you to be interesting, stimulating, informative, and entertaining. They’re rooting for you.

7. Don’t apologize for any nervousness or problem—the audience probably never noticed it.

8. Concentrate on the message, not the medium. Focus your attention away from your own anxieties and concentrate on your message and your audience.
