Speak so well that others listen to you
Hey, welcome
How are you??? Did it ever happen that when you started to speak, the audience started to get bored, and people did not like to listen to you? You tried your best but you could not influence people. When you speak people start to leave their seats. You could not create your effect on people.
You worked hard, writing the script and editing it, but when it came to presenting your art, you failed. Even though your script was superb your presentation made it worse.
You saw other people speaking, and when they started to speak people listened to them with focus. They spoke for less period than also, they influenced people a lot, they are seen with respect and all and all...
We all have noticed this isn't???
Don't worry you are not alone who tackling this problem, I have faced it. Actually, the problem which I have faced mostly I use to write about here, just to help the others who also might face these...
So,
Public speaking is an art, and this can be easily learned by any of us, what we just need is, the want and the practice.
It would be much easier for you to follow if I provided these tips for speaking in public in the listed form...
1. Always keep your introduction short
See, when you start, keep your introduction always very short, don't bring it long. Nobody likes to listen to your bio-data and all, give people what they are here for.
You would have probably seen people giving their long introductions. Does that seem good to you, do you feel like listening to that person's introduction or do simply you ignore that. In most cases we ignore it. Yeah, that's a different thing when someone speaks very well we try to know his name but this happens when the person has spoken well for some time.
Example of how you can start: You may start by saying,
" Well, Hello everyone how you people are doing. It's really feeling very nice to have the opportunity of speaking in front of you all I am Satyam Singh, and I am here to ......."
Or, "Hey everybody, it's nice seeing you all here, it feels superb to be in front of you all. I Satyam Singh. So today we'll be talking about......."
Or, " Good morning everyone. How are you, people??? You all look very excited, don't you??? You would already know me, but for those who are new, I am Satyam Singh, You loved...."
2. Create the climax in the beginning itself.
What I mean by this is, soon after giving your introduction tell something interesting about your topic, on which you will be speaking. Make people curious..... say something like that which can force them to think about it. Be it very clear so, that people don't have to think too much extra...
See, others will only listen to you when you tell them something that they don't know because nobody cares about listening to something that they have heard once...
3. Don't stand like a statue
While you speak in front of people if you are standing on a podium then it's fine. But if you are on a stage then don't keep yourself standing at a single place. Keep moving slowly- steadily on it, from one end to another.
When you stick to a single place, it gives a feeling like you are not able to face the complete audience. You are trying to hide yourself from the people.
And, I don't think you will like to give such an impression to the people.
4. Don't repeat your words again and again.
By not repeating your words, l mean that don't shatter while you speak. You would have listened to people speaking like, " I, I Sa-t-team ". Their voices used to fluctuate they were not able to speak things in a proper tone. This is one of the worst things that plays the greatest role that people don't listen to you.
When your voice shatters, at once it gives two messages to the listener that you are not confident, you fear speaking to the public and whatever you are presenting you are not sure whether you are saying it correctly or wrong.
And, one more way in which we do this fault is that if on the stage by mistake we said something wrong, at that time we usually correctly repeat that same sentence isn't?? But that's a huge blunder. It gives a very bad feeling, once or maximum twice that may be Okay, but if you continuously repeat that, it destroys your complete effectiveness.
The better way, to tackle this problem is you should to good practice before going on the stage. The best way to do the practice is to stand in front of the mirror and speak it in front of yourself. But what if you made this mistake, then what to do?? See, you should say sorry and then start it again.
Example of how you can: Let's take that as.
Mistake, " I live in Raebareli"
Wrong way of correcting yourself, " I live in Raebareli, no no I live in Lucknow " or " I live in Raebareli, I live in Lucknow"
A better way to correct yourself: " I live in Raebareli, sorry actually I live in Raebareli"
5. Try not to show your back at all, always create eye- contact with the listeners.
On stage, while you are talking or presenting something or doing some type of performance, make sure you don't show your back to the people. Never stand an angle in which your back is shown. Always keep your face towards the audience.
And, keep continuous eye contact with the people. You will think how can we create continuous eye contact with so many people at once???
See, you don't actually need to keep continuous eye contact with the people, you just have to look at them confidently, and keep changing your viewpoint from one place to another. Don't stuck on something, pretend it is like you are looking at all of them.
This creates people to be more engaged in you and your sayings.
6. Keep your face data similar.
Thinking of what do I mean with the face data, then it's nothing new. I am actually saying that reactions on your face should be similar to the topic. Like when you are saying something serious but you are making your face like a joker, then people would not be able to understand you. Or, you have to say something sad to people, then keep your face a bit sad but mostly show yourself as serious. It's because our face gives a real impression to people, so having good expression-rich face data would surely get you more done in less...
Okay...so...at last
It's all, I have to tell you...
See, you in my next post .....
