Things started to get the audience's attention. This may be a surprising statement, statistics, or your own story. The audience pay close attention to when a person is the beginning, "Two weeks ago, when I was driving to work the car parked in front of me had ...。" you can begin in the current events:" You may read the paper this morning about flooding. .. "a problem is another way to make people listen. "You have how many people feel that our society puts too much medical care?" May be a blow to begin the cost of presentation. Whether you use the technology, when you grasp the audience on your way to a successful presentation is concerned.
Second, we should vigorously delivery. Speak in your voice is different. Slow down a dramatic point and speed up display excitement. Pause occasionally affected. Do not just stand behind the podium, but moving one step away point. When you encourage your audience on their steps. In order to reflect the extent or wide or high or small object that you described. Demonstrate how something works or looks or move you have said. Show expression talking to you. Laughing about something pleasant and let your face show other emotions, when you tell an event or activity. Regardless of your actions, they should have purpose.
Structure of your statement. Do not more than 23 points, and preview at the beginning of what the local stations. Each point, there are two or three pieces of support, such as examples, definitions, testimony, or statistics. Audio-visual equipment is important when you want to know your audience to understand the process or concept or financial goals. The trend line chart is the best. Bar chart is a pie chart to compare and the best performance is the best percentage of revenue.
With your points and transition. These may be signs, such as "first", "2" or "final." Using a simple point, including those you have just mentioned, and tell what you plan to talk about the next one internal summary. "Now we talk on the structure, let us into the story to use," will be an example. When you have an introduction, two or three mutually supportive focus, appropriate transition and concluded that you have your own way of speech, the audience can follow you easier to organize.
Tell your own story somewhere in the presentation - especially in the technical presentations. Including the personal experience to connect to the content of your speech, the audience will contact you. You want to help are you talking about, and personal experience, the audience mood is not connected. You can choose almost any topic, you must have at least one "war story" related to the topic. When you tell this story, as long as starting from scratch, and moving chronologically through the narrative, including the "W" questions: "Who," What, "when", "why" and "where."
To add interest and understanding of your speech, including a visual aid. Visual aid may be an object, wall charts, PowerPoint presentations, overhead transparencies, or whiteboards board. Whether you are using a vision, to ensure that everyone can see it. The best way to ensure that it is your vision will speak, and then find a seat as far as to determine whether you can read the visual from that seat. The introduction of the visual properly rather than simply throw in your audience, explained that you opened it in vision. Do not let vision become a silent demonstration. The visual display allows you to talk. You are still the main event, your vision is a kind of aid. Look at your audience, not your vision. When the visual is not used to conceal audience. Human beings are a strange lot, tends to maintain a forward-looking words and objects have lost track of you!
In addition, if you provide your own story, convincing speech, including the views of experts and the audience, respect your opinion, strengthen the testimony. Add a key statistics may show you the seriousness of the discussion. For example, if I were to discuss the need to improve in order to better listen to your customer service, I would like to add that although we spend time to listen to half of our communication, we listened to the efficiency of only about 25%. In your conversation by telling stories, testimony, and statistics, in-depth to your evidence.
See you in the audience to speak. If it is a small audience, you can see everyone in a very short period of time. If it is a huge audience, in small "clumps viewers," from one cluster to another. One way to ensure good eye contact is to look at your audience, and then began to speak. To the podium and pause, smile, look at the audience, and then speak again. This will help you maintain your entire presentation, as well as command the immediate attention of the good eye contact.
This method has a good eye contact is one not to read your statement. Card using the attention to their keywords. A word or phrase should trigger the thought in your mind, then you can speak English. If you are including the quotation marks or complex statistics, notes from your readers actually more credible. If you write your address, often read, lose eye contact with the audience, and are not considered in the delivery of enthusiasm, to speak from note cards.
In your speech, the "wow" factor. Something in your speech to your audience that "wow!" This could be a story, a dramatic point, an unusual statistics, or an effective visualization, help the audience understand immediately. With the "wow" factor, and then something to look forward in the speech, you know your audience will be affected. You will become more active to speak, because the "wow" factor will get you and your audience's speech pumping.
In considering the use of humor to speak of your contacts. Do not panic, it is recommended that you not become a comedian, but rather to alleviate a serious speech, so that more people will accept your ideas and interests. Humor will help you become an amiable person that this is hard to disagree or bored if they are to you smile. Unless you have a wealth of experience to make your humor short. May be injected into a liner or a quotation. Yogi Berra said a lot of interesting things. "You can see just to see such as" a lot. Tell you that life is a short embarrassing moment, you might think that was not funny. Now, you can laugh at the experience, you know the old adage, "Humor is just the tragedy of separation of time and space." Do not make fun of your audience, you should be the object of any defects, which indicates that you can laugh at themselves. Avoid long stories or jokes. Even seasoned speakers know that, interesting stories soon become unfunny if they are long way to go. Perhaps the least risk is to use humor is a cartoon. This cartoon is independent of you, if people do not laugh, you do not feel responsible. (Be sure to ensure that its permission to use.)
Finally, something to leave the audience thinking. People remember most clearly what you said last. You might sum up, the main content or you may complete the statement, "I want you to do the results of this demonstration is ...." But beyond that, so you think about the idea last sentence. For example, I might be late with "a better speaker because of his speech Cicero said centuries ago, 'such as skills and do it."
The guidance of a more modern and effective public is authored some unknown sage: "Know your stuff. Who knows you are filling. Know when they are full."
It will never be a "perfect" speech; to develop public speaking skills is a lifelong experience. However, the main points discussed here will allow you to be talking and speakers you want to be the beginning of the audience wanted to hear.
