    TIPS FOR PUBLIC

    SPEAKING/PRESENTATION
    SKILLS

    Subarna Karmacharya
    10 TIPS FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING:
    1. Nervousness Is Normal. Practice and Prepare!
    • All people feel some physiological reactions like
    pounding hearts and trembling hands.
    • Do not associate these feelings with the sense that
    you will perform poorly or make a fool of yourself.

    • The best way to overcome anxiety is to prepare,


    prepare, and prepare some more.
    • Take the time to go over your notes several times.
    Once you have become comfortable with the
    material, practice a lot.
    • Videotape yourself, or get a friend to critique your
    performance.
    2. Know Your Audience.
    Your Speech Is About Them, Not You.
    • Before you begin to craft your
    message, consider who the
    message is intended for.
    • Learn as much about your listeners
    as you can. This will help you
    determine your choice of words,
    level of information, organization
    pattern, and motivational statement
    3. Organize Your Material in the Most
    Effective Manner to Attain Your Purpose.
    • Create the framework for your speech. Write
    down the topic, general purpose, specific
    purpose, central idea, and main points. Make
    sure to grab the audience’s attention in the
    first 30 seconds.
    4. Watch for Feedback and Adapt to It.
    • Keep the focus on the audience. Gauge their
    reactions, adjust your message, and stay
    flexible. Delivering a recorded speech you
    lose the attention of or confuse even the most
    devoted listeners.
    5. Let Your Personality Come Through.

    • Be yourself, don’t become a talking head—in any


    type of communication. You will establish better
    credibility if your personality shines through, and
    your audience will trust what you have to say if
    they can see you as a real person.
    6. Use Humor, Tell Stories, and Use Effective Language.
    • Inject a funny story / narration in your presentation,
    and you will certainly grab your audience’s attention.
    • Audiences generally like a personal touch in a
    speech. A story can provide that.
    7. Don’t Read Unless You Have to. Work from
    an Outline.
    • Reading from a script or slide fractures the inter-
    personal connection.
    • By maintaining eye contact with the audience, you
    keep the focus on yourself and your message.
    • A brief outline can serve to jog your memory and
    keep you on track.
    8. Use Your Voice and Hands Effectively. Omit
    Nervous Gestures.
    • Nonverbal communication carries most of the
    message.
    • Good delivery does not call attention to itself, but
    instead conveys the speaker’s ideas clearly and
    without distraction.
    9. Grab Attention at the Beginning, and Close
    with a Dynamic End.
    • Do you enjoy hearing a speech start with
    “Today I’m going to talk to you about X”?
    Most people don’t. Instead, use a surprising
    fact, an interesting story, or concise quotation.
    • Conclude your speech with a summary and a
    strong statement that your audience is sure to
    remember.
    10. Use Audio-visual Aids Wisely.
    • Too many can break the direct connection to
    the audience, so use them carefully. They
    should enhance or clarify your content, or
    capture and maintain your audience’s
    attention.
