2. PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS
• Public speaking (sometimes termed oratory or oration) is
the process or act of performing a presentation (a
speech) focused around an individual directly speaking to
a live audience in a structured, deliberate manner in order
to inform, influence, or entertain them. Public speaking is
commonly understood as the formal, face-to-face talking
of a single person to a group of listeners. Good orators
should be able to read their audience and not only
engage them, but also be able to read them. The power
of a truly great presenter is the ability to change the
emotions of their listeners, not just inform them.
3. KEYS TO BECOME A GOOD PUBLIC
SPEAKER
• 1) PERSONALITY OF THE SPEAKER: Accept it or reject
it, a public speaker is always judged by his or her audience
not only on the basis of the content but also on the basis
of the personality. The way you dress and the way you
carry yourself on stage will have a huge impact on the
quality of your presentation.
4. START WITH A SMILE
• Research has shown that
the act of smiling- even
artificially- can actually
make a person feel more
happy and at ease. So,
put a big smile on your
face when you begin
speaking. Many people in
the audience will probably
smile back at you, too.
This will make you feel
relaxed, confident, and
connected.
5. CONTENT AND KNOWLEDGE
• You cannot speak that you do not know.
There are a lot of people who speak a lot
more than they actually know. Read as
much as possible about the topic and from
as many sources as possible. This will
widen your perspective and will help in
taking an intelligent stand.
6. AUDIENCE PROFILE
• As a public speaker you should be well
aware of your audience- their background,
profession, expectations and priorities.
This exercise will provide you with
valuable insights about how to structure
the talk.
7. PASSION
• People may forget
what you say, but
they rarely forget your
emotions about the
topic. How much you
believe or do not
believe in the topic
will be sensed by the
audience to great
extent.
8. BORING PRESENTATION
• your presentation
should not be soo
lenghthy that the
audience starts
sleeping. make your
presentation short but
the quality of content
you had matters alot.it
will really effect the
audience.
9. NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION
• It is said that about
60% of any
communication is
done non-verbally.
The best public
speakers pay a lot of
attention to their non-
verbal
communication- tonal
quality and body
language.
10. FUN AND EMOTIONAL CONTENT
• It has been proven
that the audience will
remember a message
only if it has one or
more of the following
two elements-
humour and
emotional appeal.
The best
presentations have
both of these
components.
11. MEDIUM
• Once you have done your research about
the topic and the audience profile, think
about the best medium to convey the
message of your presentation. Do you
really need a power-point or there is a
better way of communicating your ideas
about the topic?
12. CONDUCT A Q/A SESSION
• when you are going to
end your
presentation,conduct
a question/answer
session so that if the
audience have any
question they can ask
from you.answer
them about every
question and make
sure that everyone is
satisfied.
13. PRACTICE
• Repetition is the mother of all skills.practice
makes a man perfect.More you practice on your
presentation, better are your chances of
perfecting it. Stand in front of a mirror and speak
for few minutes on a different topic every day. If
possible record yourself on a phone camera.
Public speaking is a learnable skill and anybody
can master this skill if they decide to.
