How To Make Speeches: Effective Speaking and Presentation Skills

Preparing a speech

Some people would prefer to dive over a cliff than make a speech. They conjure up all kinds of nightmare scenarios as a result of their stage fright: What if I freeze? What if the audience hates me on sight? What if no one laughs except in places they shouldn't? Will everyone remember the mistakes I make for the rest of my life?

And yet, by learning a few public speaking strategies and techniques used by professional speakers -- who are very often the most scared of all -- you can not only conquer your nerves and your fear, you can also make a powerful impression and within seconds, actually start to enjoy the whole experience. Use these tips to help you fight off your speech anxiety.

First, check how you look. Dress appropriately, and be well groomed, so you feel comfortable and smart. Dressing professionally also helps the audience feel you've taken trouble for them and that they are respected. But make sure you don't go too far and unintentionally distract them, for example, with a man's flashy tie or a woman's low neckline.

Opening nerves. Here are some techniques that will help you feel more comfortable and relaxed when you start.

1.Before you go on, chat to people in your audience. It will help create a

warmer, more friendly atmosphere.

2.As you're waiting to be announced, repeat your opening sentence three

or four times to distract you from your nervousness and to give you the

confidence of a sure start.

3.To help relax from head to toe, take three deep slow breaths- in

through nose - out through mouth with your hand on your stomach as it

expands and contracts.

4.When starting, pause for 1-2 seconds to establish yourself.

5.Stand upright and relaxed.

6.Pleasantly acknowledge a friendly face nearby.

7.Smile.Smiling shows warmth for the audience and is rarely

misinterpreted.

Contact.

1.Make eye contact with the audience, momentarily from one to another

as a way of showing interest in them.

2.Engage with animated listeners - but not too much.

3.Scan the audience, and don't miss anyone, anywhere, ever.

4.Occasionally start a sentence looking at one section of the audience

and finish looking at another section.

5.Too shy to look straight at individuals? Until your confidence grows,

try looking at the spaces between them.

Public Speaking Tips and Techniques.

1.Recall how you talk to your mother, girlfriend or boyfriend, chief

financial officer or boss. It's usually different for each. So imagine that

someone who loves and appreciates you is listening. Start out by

imagining you're talking to them.

2.Successful public speakers project energy and conviction. They have to

if they are to hold their audience from start to finish. They also know

that if they stop concentrating on the words and the thread of their

speech, so will the audience.

3.Believe what you say and deliver it with conviction and passion. The

audience will sense if you're not sincere.

Delivery. These suggestions may feel unnatural when you first try them, but you can see how effective speaking skills involve the delivery by listening to the phrasing of top presenters on TV and radio. Notice how they:

1.Emphasize key words in every sentence. So when you go through your

speech, you will find it useful to underline a number of verbs and

adjectives in each of your sentences to remind you to give them extra

‘p unch.'

2.Don't allow their voices to go down at the end of sentences. Every

word has to be heard in full, otherwise why's it there?

Pace&Pause. There are two integral elements in every speech that you can use to your advantage: pace and pause.

Pace:

1.Don't rush, particularly when you start.

2.Speak fast enough to keep people from becoming bored and

slow enough for people to absorb fully what you're saying.

3.Slow down to emphasize and reinforce your key ideas.

4.Vary your pace to inject excitement or gravity.

5.To add color to your speech, change the pace and rhythm of

your delivery between topics/paragraphs.

Pause:

1.Pause to set up an important point.

2.After that important point, pause to add emphasis.

3.Pause to allow the point to sink in.

4.Don't pause for too long or you could appear pompous. ?Body Language.

Keep your gestures natural and comfortable. Rehearsal and practice help make them so. If you are speaking with real conviction, your gestures will be real.

Many professional speakers and many actors too are taught the following arm positions that you may find useful.

?Polishing a presentation and avoiding errors.

You may find it useful to rehearse your presentation in front of a full-length mirror. It will not only help you perfect your delivery it will also help you avoid a whole raft of common mistakes. For example, it will help ensure that you:

?Don't drop your head when reading speech (many speakers type their speech only on the top half of pages).

?Don't turn your back on audience.

?Don't play with a pen or pointer.

?Don't grip table or lectern.

?Don't bend towards microphone (adjust its height).

?Don't lean towards your notes.

?Don't stare fixedly at notes or visual aids.

?Don't fidget: Touch face, tie, lapel, etc.

?And when it's all over . . .smile. (Unless the occasion's not appropriate....) It tells the audience that you've done your best, that you've enjoyed your talk and are confident they've enjoyed it too, that they're a great audience who've responded well. All that from just a smile? Sure, but it's what's behind the smile (learning and using the above) that's the real secret.

These public speaking and presentation skills should help you when you make speeches to give the best performance.

well planned a meeting is. They will not trust anything that doesn't take years to build. For example, a strong relationship of 10 years is more important than a brand new office building or an

impressive meeting. Trust is most important thing for them. They also seldom offer any opinions unless they are sure about what they want to say. Face is perhaps most important to the Japanese. For example, if you put pressure on a Japanese businessman at a meeting, he will respond with silence and your relationship is sure to be over even before the meeting finished. They will be more accepting of you if you learn to speak a little Japanese and look comfortable

Unit 8 Receiving Visitors 2.Listening Practice Task 2-1 A receptionist in a small firm may have to use a computer, operate a switchboard, and perform other clerical duties, in addition to receiving visitors. In a large firm a receptionist can concentrate on welcoming and looking after visitors. A visitor to a large firm should make an appointment, because executives are often very busy and do not have much time for visitors. Executives and secretaries should notify the receptionist in advance about important appointments, and about the movements of executives, especially when they are out of the building on business. Executives often ask receptionists to make travel arrangements for them, such as booking hotel rooms and airline tickets. Task 2-2 There is a certain procedure for receiving visitors. A receptionist should find out if the visitor has an appointment or not. If the visitor is an important client, the executive or his secretary will come down to the reception area to greet the visitor. Sometimes the receptionist or another secretary escorts, or accompanies, the visitor to the executive’s office. Using the visitor’s name when he arrives is a friendly gesture and gives the visitor a good impression of the firm. The receptionist announces the visitor’s name, title and position, and introduces the executive to him. When a visitor’s request for a meeting cannot be satisfied, the receptionist should apologise and make some suggestions for an alternative time. If a meeting is impossible, the receptionist should express regret and explain why, with tact, so that the visitor’s feelings are not hurt. A receptionist should keep a register which includes dates, times, names and the firm the visitor works for. A receptionist can then refer to this if there is a request for information. 4. Video 1 (R for receptionist; S for secretary; V for visitor) R: Good morning. May I help you? V: Yes, I’d like to see Mr. Hansen, the president. R: Do you have an appointment, sir? V: Yes. I have an appointment with him at 10:30. R: Can I have your name, please? V: Brawn Dantini from Wilson Electronics. R: Thank you, Mr. Dantini. Would you please take a seat? I’ll tell Mr. Hansen’s secretary that you’re here. V: Thanks. R: Mary, this is reception. Mr. Dantini is here for his appointment. S: I’m sorry, but Mr. Hansen is on a long-distance call. Would you ask Mr. Dantini to wait for a few minutes? R: All right. I’m sorry, Mr. Dantini, our president is occupied just now. Would you please wait for a few minutes? V: Yes, of course. R: Would you like something to drink? Do you prefer coffee or tea? V: Thank you. Coffee, please. R: Would you like sugar and cream with your coffee?
