Tips On Public Speaking

I am assuming that you are reading this article because you have a fear of speaking in public and giving speeches. The intensity of your fear will vary from reader to reader...some people have such a deathly fear of speaking in public that they cannot sleep for weeks if they know they are going to have to give a speech or a presentation in the near (or distant) future. Having a small to mild fear is normal and it ranges anywhere from that, to a full blown phobia. These tips on public speaking should help you get through at least some of your concerns.

First of all, you must remember that everyone is insecure to a certain degree. Whenever I share tips on public speaking I like to say, "think about it from their perspective." They might look at you and say to themselves, "Wow, I bet he is a great speaker and isn't nervous one bit." Meanwhile you are shaking in your boots. However, you can take advantage of this fact and make yourself come across as much cooler than you think. With the help of everyone else's insecurity (just like your own), and a little bit of a boost in confidence in yourself, you can overcome any speech and people will look up to you for it.

Even if you have to "fake it 'till you make it" you can still come across as cool, calm and professional. Make sure you relate to everyone in the audience. If you are talking to a group of people from a certain generation, you might want to speak appropriately, in a way that they can understand you and not be offended. Know what they want to hear and give it to them. Don't try to bring up crazy "out there" theories that have no logical base or reliable proof to back them up. More general topics would probably be most appropriate.

Thanks for reading these tips on public speaking. I hope they've been of help to you!
