How to easily become proficient in public speaking
As simple as it sounds, it is not that simple. About three-quarters of people suffer from shyness when it comes to public speaking. As scary as it sounds, there is a very simple solution.
Prioritize Preparation
As we know, failure to prepare is preparation for failure. The best way to keep yourself calm before public speaking is to show up fully prepared. Preparing before speaking will also help you improve your delivery. It can be made more effective by thinking about what the speaker really wants to say and practicing saying it.
Change The View
Thinking ahead about whether or not you will be nervous about speaking in public will have an impact on your speech. Consider public speaking as a possibility. Because through this you can spread some information about your interest to many more people. It is very important to inculcate the thought that 'you have the power to convey the message to people'.
Get Used To The Silence
Get used to silence to keep yourself calm. Although silence will cause you temporary discomfort, it will help you to feel your present state and keep yourself calm. You can even listen to your own breathing if you notice, which will help ease your nervousness. After calming the nerves there are other steps that can be taken that will be beneficial in improving your public speaking skills.
Give A Brief Speech
One of the problems of a speaker is to talk for a long time. Most people do not have the patience to listen continuously. So it is more important to finish the speech in a short time and make it memorable.
Transmit The Energy
The responsibility of the audience is on you. Your energy affects them more than their energy affects you. So before giving a good speech you need to be confident in your own strength.
Talk With Eye To Eye
Make eye contact a daily habit. Make eye contact with the audience when speaking. This is the difference between talking to someone and imposing on someone.
Watch TED Talks
You can learn how a speaker handles himself by watching some good Ted Talk episodes. Practice that way. Present to your friends if needed and see their feedback.
Practice Again And Again
Not only in speaking, but in any task, the more you practice, the better you will become day by day. So, keep practicing.
