10 Tips for Successful Public Speaking.
Feeling some nervousness before giving a speech is natural and even beneficial. But too much nervousness can be detrimental. Here are some proven tips on how to control your butterflies and give better presentations:
1. Know your material.
In your speech, talk about aspects you are interested in. Public speaking is more effective when you use personal stories and conversational language.
2. Practice. Practice. Practice!
Rehearse your speech out loud with all equipment you plan on using for your public speaking. Revise as necessary.
3. Know the audience. Greet some of the audience members as they arrive. It’s easier to speak in public to a group of friends than to strangers.
4. Know the room. Arrive early, walk around the speaking area and practice using the microphone and any visual aids to make an effective presentation.
5. Relax. Ease tension by doing exercises. Transform nervous energy into enthusiasm.
6. Visualize yourself giving your speech. Imagine yourself speaking in public, your voice loud, clear and confident, the audience clapping
7. Realize that people want you to succeed. Audiences want you to be interesting, stimulating, informative and entertaining.
8. Don’t apologize for any nervousness or problem – the audience probably never noticed it and it makes you human.
