Simple steps to give a successful public speech
Many well-educated people never speak in public. But anyone who can speak well in private conversation can learn to give a good and successful public speech.
If you want to be successful in your public speech just remember three things: instruct, entertain and inspire.
When you instruct, speak briefly, slowly and clearly, don’t speak too long and don’t speak too fast. Try to speak clearly and present ideas simply with good examples. Using humor helps you to be successful in your speech. Use it whenever possible. Know about your audience and touch their emotions.
I gave my first public speech several years ago. I wanted to impress my audience so I told them a lot of facts. I used big words and long sentences. I spoke quickly and seriously and I didn’t use any humor. My speech was unsuccessful.
The next time I spoke, a friend helped me to give successful speech and was prepared for my speech. This time I spoke much more slowly and clearly. I focused on three ideas to give a successful speech and gave lots of examples. I added humor and spoke more sincerely and more emotionally. I included personal experiences and I used simple words.
The applause was long and loud. When I sat down, I felt good. The audience gave me their time and I gave them a speech to remember.
If you want to be successful in your public speaking you should overcome your fear and improve your self confidence. Try to use a touch of humor in your speech and leave audience with something to think about it and “wow” factor must be included in your speech.
Successful public speakers usually speak with variety in their voice. They slow down for dramatic point and speed up to show their excitement so try to give your speech in this way.
