Let's Start!

1. Public Speaking Tips: Research Very well:

This is the first step that has to be done before the speech formation. This is a very important step and a lot of people tend to miss it. As a result, they miss a lot of important points and are unable to answer questions asked to them. Also, when you research, you gain the knowledge you require for your speech. You are the one who knows about it!

Before even framing your speech, you should always do a bit of research from the internet. Read at least the top 10 articles that appear on the search. Watch some Youtube videos also.

For instance, if you are going to speak about how to do coding, first of all, you should know some of the things related to it like:

• What is coding?
• How to code?
• Some coding Languages
• Trends 
• etc.

If you have done the research well, then you will start having an idea of what you will have to speak. You will not be out of words and also, you will be knowing what you need to do and what not! Now that you know what you are speaking on, and what to speak, let us now see the rest of the Public Speaking Tips that will help you out furthermore in your journey of becoming a great speaker!

2. Public Speaking Tips: Use questions:

Imagine that you have done a lot of hard work and done a lot of research. You have also written world-class content. But the audience is busy in their own world and not paying attention to you. That will hurt you a lot! That is why you should always use questions in the beginning. 

Suppose I am going to speak about cycles. So, I would start like, "Do you know, which is the one thing, which is eco-friendly, and also, takes us from one place to another?" This thing will attract the attention of the audience as it will at least listen to you for 7 seconds, and in that time, you will have grabbed their attention!

If the topic is like that, where you cannot add questions, you could take the audience into the Imagine state. Suppose I am speaking about Exercise, I can start like, "Imagine, you being healthy, strong and bright! Isn't that amazing?" This thing will grab the attention of the audience as they would further want to know how to do that!

Now, take this tip for starting your speech. Start with a question or an Imagine sentence. Get your audience to think what is the answer and also get their attention. You cannot think that the audience will lend their ears to you as you'll speak. So, start with a  question.

Also, when you are asking a question, wait for three seconds for the audience to make sense of it. Let them get dissolved in the question you have asked. If someone answers, you should always get him applauded. You shall never dissuade the person if the answer is wrong. Just say that it was close or something. Also, do not use more than 3 questions as it should not compromise more than 10% of your speech.

3. Public Speaking Tips: Be a bit hilarious:

How will you feel when someone will speak to you while he is too serious? You will not be able to connect to him. Do not remain serious when you speak. Never try to be serious while you speak. You can see many successful speakers like Sandeep Maheshwari. who cracks jokes while speaking about many serious topics also. So, always try to crack some jokes in the middle, or if not possible then, just don't make it too serious or boring. The point is, "Smile Karo, aur shuru ho jao"!😁

4. Public Speaking Tips: Mention your takeaways:

When you listen to a speech, the first thing that you want is that you either get entertained, or get some knowledge, or a takeaway. The audience comes to listen to you to gain something. It may be anything. This part of your speech should be 10% of all things. 

You should at least mention three takeaways. This will enhance your speech and will make your audience remember you. They will tend to remember your speech better if there is something in it for them.

When you frame your speech, always mention at least 3 takeaways for your audience such that they remember you because of the thing that they learned from you. 

5. Public Speaking Tips: Create a PowerPoint Presentation:

Nowadays, due to the pandemic, many of the speeches are heard online. This is why we get an option to share our screen. If you have got the permission for presenting a Powerpoint Presentation, then grab the opportunity.

Presenting a PowerPoint presentation helps you to remember your speech, and as you will add pictures, the audience will connect with you even more. 

Create maps with lots of images such that it looks attractive and also reminds you about your lines. You can also put up different things except for sound and videos as they may cause a disturbance in your speech.

6. Public Speaking Tips: Practice as much as you can:

Now that you have got your idea and also your presentation, you and also you've got your script, start practicing. As the quote says that practice makes a man perfect, you should practice as much as you can. 

You should, if possible, should take a video of yourself practicing, or the least, record an audio file. This will help you check your speech as the audience. You could correct many things including style, pronunciation, grammar, and many more.

Put your timer and also your presentation in front of you and practice as much as you can. Think as if you are delivering your speech and also, try improving yourselves. Try to improve with each and every practice and try to think that this is your final practice, each and every time!

 

7. Public Speaking Tips: Watch yourself practicing in front of a mirror:

While you are practicing, try to stand in front of a mirror. When you watch yourself in front of the mirror, you will see how you do when you are speaking to a person. You will also get very nervous at many points but never stop practicing. Watch them and mark your flaws. Now that you know your mistakes, you should work on them up to perfection.

8. Public Speaking Tips: Dress well:

Now you are ready and well prepared. We know that you are smart, but the audience doesn't know this. So, try to dress well and dress smart. You should always try to wear formal dresses when you are going to deliver as this will show how much you respect your opportunity. You shall also clean up your teeth as you do not want the audience to know what you ate just before! Comb your hairs and also put on some perfumes and eat some mint such that you don't sound or smell foul.😄😀😃

9. Public Speaking Tips: Do not run like a train:

This is an on-stage Public Speaking Tip. When you speak, let the audience make the sense of what you are speaking. give a lot of pauses in the middle and avoid the um and aahs. When you tend to give pauses and speak with a constant and a slow speed, the audience understands what is the emotion of your speech and makes the two-way connection easier. 

Calm down, my friend! Please never rush when you are delivering your speech. If you have got a time limit, then cut down your speech, but do not go faster than the audience would understand. Give pauses in the middle. Let them get your point before you can proceed and waste your effort.

10. Public Speaking Tips: Do not worry:

Last but not the least, if you think you are nervous and that's a bad thing, you are wrong. A bit of nervousness boosts your adrenaline level and persuades you to give your best. Just keep in mind that you have practiced a lot and the stage is yours. Think the audience to be your friends and explain your point of view to them. Believe in yourself, not in anyone else!😃

Try to implement these things and I am pretty sure that you will succeed in your speech!😉
