2. PUBLIC SPEAKING
It is the process of communicating information to an audience. Public speaking skills are
valuable both in your personal life and in your career.

3. 1. STAGE PRESENCE
Good public speakers appear confident,
friendly, enthusiastic and energetic.
Enthusiasm and energy will naturally
follow when you enjoy your topic and
are well prepared.
Friendliness can be conveyed simply by
smiling at your audience.
Confidence comes from choosing a
topic you like and researching it well.

4. 2. VOICE CONTROL
Tone Voice VolumePitch
✓ Your voice is the most important tool you will use as a public
speaker.
✓ Improve the quality of your voice through diaphragmatic
breathing. This is how professional singers breathe. It is what
helps to make their voices sound fabulous and enables them
to hold notes long after most people would be out of breath.
✓ This type of breathing will allow you to better control the
following aspects of your voice

5. 3. BODY LANGUAGE
Practice standing with a relaxed upright
posture.
If you're giving an upbeat speech, try to
have a relaxed and joyful look on your
face.
Become aware of your facial expressions
as well; they should match the message
you are delivering.
Place your hands at your sides or clasped
in front of you, unless you are making a
gesture to emphasize a point.

6. 4. DELIVERY
When it comes to public speaking, delivery is everything. Even if you have a great voice
and good body language, your message will get lost if the audience can't easily follow
what you say.
✓ S p e a k s l o w l y a n d
deliberately.
✓ Pause between ideas to give
the audience time to digest
what you are saying.
✓ Carefully articulate and
pronounce your words.
✓ Avoid filler sounds like "Um"
and "ah."
✓ Vary the pitch and volume of
your voice to add interest.

7. Good public speakers are in tune with their
audience. Public speaking is more than
standing in front of a group and talking.
Make eye contact with a good smile and
watch for communication from the audience.
If you need to set up equipment, converse
with your audience at the same time to keep
their attention.
Acknowledge your audience right away and
begin talking as soon as all eyes are on you.
