How to Speak Well and Confidently (Part 3)

Taking it to the Next Level

1 Establish a relaxing routine. Begin by addressing the audience. Allows you to save time and calms your nerves. Pause, smile and count to three before saying anything. ( "One thousand, two thousand, three thousand. Pause. Begin. ) Transform nervous energy into enthusiasm. 's All about finding what works for you. Maybe drinking a cup of mint tea before speaking makes trick. Maybe drinking water every five minutes will do it for you. once you find what works for you, stick to it.

·         You can also develop a routine for talking with friends. Find something that relaxes you when you're nervous about speaking, if it is to grab a Koosh ball in his jacket pocket and smile a little more.

2 Practice, practice, practice. Rehearse out loud with all equipment you plan to use. Revise if necessary. Work to control filler words ; play, pause and breathe. Practice with a timer and allow time for the unexpected. The more you practice, the more natural and well spoken sound when it's time to talk. And the better you feel as you know what to say, you'll have more confidence when it counts.

3 Do not apologize. If you are nervous or have you accidentally misspoken not draw people's attention to it by apologizing for it. Just go ahead with what you have to say and people will forget what you said. Saying, " Sorry guys, I'm so nervous " or " Ooops, that was weird ", will only make things more difficult and uncomfortable. Everyone makes mistakes and there is no need to recognize yours unless you're very, very good at making fun of himself.

4 Concentrate on the message - not the medium. Focus your attention away from your own anxieties and concentrate on your message and your audience. The most important thing is to get your point across, not to look like Steve Jobs when you do. If you are less focused on yourself, you will feel less inhibited and more like a messenger, and it will take a lot of pressure. Before speaking, remind yourself about how important the message is to be transmitted, and why transportation is important to you. This will make you stop worrying about whether you're talking too fast or too much sweat.

5 Gain experience. Mainly, your speech should represent you - as an authority and as a person. Experience builds confidence, which is the key to effective speaking. A Toastmasters club can provide the experience you need in a safe and friendly environment. Just get in the habit of giving speeches or speak publicly also help you succeed. Even if you just want to speak confidently in front of friends or strangers, the more you do, the better you'll be at it. It's like any other skill.

6 Realize that people want you to succeed. Audiences want you to be interesting, stimulating, informative and entertaining. They are encouraging you. Think positively about what you have to do before you start and know that no one wants to stumble, stumbles over his words, or forget what you were going to say. Everyone wants the best for you, and you should want that too. Talking can be a scary thing if you're talking to a football stadium of people or just your class, and everyone wants you to do your best.
