Insert them and gauge how your audience reacts to them. You might also find this information comes in handy when it’s time to answer questions.<\/p>\n

Always look at your audience when speaking. Keep your focus on what you are doing and not allow yourself to get distracted. Since you are attempting to convince the audience with your words, they should command your complete attention.<\/p>\n

After you memorize your speech, you should practice it over and over. Try practicing tweaking your speech when you can. Yoiu can also practice good breathing techniques as you speak. Be certain your speech timing allows for potential applause or other interruptions. If at all possible, you should practice giving your speech using the equipment that will be used.<\/p>\n

Be aware of the audience you are speaking in front of. If possible, find out some of the individuals that will be in the crowd. Prior to the speech, even say hello to some of them at the door. The crowd will feel more friendly if you have a level of familiarity with at least some of the people.<\/p>\n

Focus on the truth when speaking in public. Figure out exactly what you want to say before the day of the speech. You need to include a beginning, a middle portion and a definite end to the story you tell. Your story should be based upon a real event, as this will help ensure that your words are natural and authentic.<\/p>\n

You should know about the room you are speaking in. Learn how loud you need speak before the event. Use whatever equipment is available and get familiar with it. If there are visual aids, learn to use them. Figure out how far you will need to look to make eye contact.<\/p>\n

An excellent way to calm nerves before public speaking is by breathing deeply. Taking a few deep breaths and exhaling completely before you begin your speech will help you get your nerves under control. Breathe in for four seconds and then breathe out. You’ll feel yourself relaxing after you do this five or six times.<\/p>\n

Before starting your speech, try to win over the audience. As they come into the area, smile at them and perhaps greet them personally. If you come across in a positive happy manner, the crowd is more likely to listen to the things you are about to say.<\/p>\n

When you speak to a large group, it is essential for you to have a voice that is clear and strong. If possible, keep a glass of water within reach during your engagement. Steer clear of dairy-based beverages or sodas on the day your speech is scheduled. These drinks tend to thicken saliva and cause more mucous to be produced. Drink tea before giving a speech.<\/p>\n

Picture what you’re going to say before working on your speech. You want to visualize the speech and the audience reactions. You’ll be more confident if you think the audience will respond well.<\/p>\n

Prior to making a speech, get the audience on your side. You don’t always have to tell them a joke to accomplish this. You can tell anecdotes that are relative to your speech. Remember this step so you can connect with the crowd.<\/p>\n

Do not even think about trying to wing it. This is not a good idea, even if you are an expert at what you are speaking about. It might be possible to give an adequate speech. Once you’ve done it, you’ll most likely regret the critical points you forgot to talk about.<\/p>\n

Think positive thoughts. If you are nervous, that’s fine. Many people get nervous when they are giving a speech. Avoid negative thinking about yourself and your performance.
