One of people’s top five fears is the act of public speaking. Some people even fear it more than death. Since public speaking is scary for most, being prepared in advance is always a good idea. Use the ideas from the following paragraphs to deconstruct the stress and fear that public speaking is to you.<\/p>\n

When you practice your speech, be sure to time it. If it is longer than you were expecting, take the opportunity to trim it down. Find more information if you need to make your speech longer. Also remember, you never want to rush through your speech; remember to pace yourself.<\/p>\n

Being prepared is key to making good public speaking impressions. Identify what points you wish to make. You may want to research to make sure your statement are factual. Write down the things you plan on saying. Go over them each day until you can confidently speak it from memory. Being prepared will boost your confidence while delivering your speech.<\/p>\n

When you give a speech to a crowd it is important that they can see your face. Avoid becoming distracted. Your audience should have your complete and focused attention.<\/p>\n

Make sure you understand your topic before preparing your speech. Researching well lets you see all parts of the subject. Then develop your specific perspective and craft your remarks in a concise, easily followed manner. You’ll know your prep was worth it when your audience is engaged enough to participate eagerly in a Q&A session.<\/p>\n

Focus on the truth when speaking in public. Give a brief description of your story beforehand. Make sure that your story has discernible chapters, like beginning, a middle and an end. If the story touches on something that actually happened to you, the audience will connect with it more.<\/p>\n

Learning how to breathe properly can help you relax before speaking in public. Controlling your breathing will reduce your level of stress. Breath using four-count nasal inhales and five-count mouth exhales. You’ll feel yourself relaxing after you do this five or six times.<\/p>\n

Always dress to impress. If you feel that you look good, your speaking will reflect that. Men ought to wear ties, because they help focus listener attention on the face.<\/p>\n

Do not indulge in alcoholic beverages prior to delivering your speech. You may think that you will be more relaxed. Your speech will be ruined if you’re drunk and forget what you wanted to say.<\/p>\n

Take the time to fully understand your material if you hope to give a great speech. Select a topic that is truly of interest to you, preferably one with which you have first-hand experience. Don’t use fancy words so that the entire audience can understand what you are saying.<\/p>\n

Once you have prepared your speech, practice it as often as necessary until you have it memorized. Deliver your speech while looking in a mirror to help you see the effects of various facial expressions and hand gestures that you use to bring points home. Try getting feedback from family when doing dry runs of speeches for them. You can tweak your delivery and content after they give you their critiques.<\/p>\n

Visual Aids<\/h2>\n

Do not make your visual aids too gaudy. They should simply enhance your words. Do not let it be overwhelming. Use high quality visual aids to make key points. Your visual aids should be attractive and colorful; however, they should not distract your audience from your speech.<\/p>\n

Imagine the upcoming speech you have to do. You want to imagine both the speech and how the audience reacts. Picturing a clapping and interested audience can boost your confidence before your actual speech.<\/p>\n

It’s easy to see why so many people are more afraid of making a speech than passing into the next life. Do not let yourself become hampered by this very real fear. Follow the information presented here to become a masterful public speaker.<\/p>\n
