Ways to be good in public speaking…..

Here are some simple tips that can improve in my public speaking:


1. Give voice some life – I should speak louder and softer; speak higher and lower; speed up and slow down. 

2. Use appropriate volume – Match my volume to the setting. I will need less volume when speaking to a small group in a class and more volume when speaking to a large group in an auditorium.

3. Pronounce my words correctly – If I aren't sure how to say a word, I don’t use it. Be especially careful with proper nouns. 

4. Use the correct words – There’s nothing that destroys my credibility as a speaker like a misused vocabulary. 

5. Look at people – I’ve seen speakers stare at their notes, at the back wall, at the floor, anywhere but at those sitting in the room. Make eye contact with  listeners. Don’t stare at one person, but let my eyes work the room. Make eye contact for one point, then move on to another person for the next point.
