Someone rightly said, “Communication is the key”. Whether you are having a one-on-one conversation, or you are communication with a large group of people at a public platform, your communication can make or break the deal. You have to be a strong communicator to deliver your message and sell yourself to the audience.
While some of us have stage fear, some have confidence issues while addressing the public. This results in poor communication which might hamper our business or even if it is a normal speech, the audience will not be left with an impact if we do not communicate properly.
If you also fall in the above category, we have got you covered. Following are some tried and tested tips to improve your next speech in public:
⇒ Plan Your Speech: Till the time you are not 100% confident, do not give your speech without any prior preparation. Write your speech well in advance, at least the key pointers for better performance.
⇒ Practise in front of a Mirror: This is one of the best ways to slay your performance. Practise the speech as many times as you can in front of a mirror. This will make you much more confident and well-prepared for the speech.
⇒ Don’t Read, Talk to the Audience: While giving the speech, think as if you are talking to your audience. Do not just read whatever you memorised. Try to engage with your audience so that they are interested in listening to you throughout your speech.
⇒ Focus on Your Body Language: Your body language will give your audience subtle clues about your inner state. If you’re feeling nervous, or if you don’t believe in what you’re saying, the audience will know. Stand up straight, take deep breaths, look in the eyes of the audience, and smile wide.
⇒ Maintain a Speed: Speech delivery is everything while giving a speech. Make sure you are neither too fast that the audience fails to understand you, nor too slow that they get bored or sleepy. Keep a balanced speed of your speech.
⇒ Stay Calm: Regardless of the size of the audience or how big the platform is, do not freak out and stay calm and positive. Also, do not forget to keep a smiling face while giving your speech.
Yes we understand that you’re shy and nervous, but with these simple tips, you might even enjoy the talk yourself, and get over stage fear.
