know what to expect Create a strong opening and closing


Preparation

1. Write the best speech you can

2. It must contain only 2-5 main ideas

3. Strong ideas should be at the beginning or at the end of the speech


4. Organizing the speech:

• Chronological – ideas in informative speeches

• Topical – ideas that were arranged by topics

• Cause and effect – identifying possible causes

and determining the effect

Preparation


Prepare Yourself

Prepare your speech or notes so you can refer to your presentation easily

Dress the way you want people to perceive you Before speaking, try to find a private place to

stand before a mirror, look at yourself, make sure all is ok, and say to yourself: “I can do this.”


Practice Your Speech

Ask a small group of friends – or even one friend – to let you practice and to give you useful tips about how to improve

Learn your speech so you can refer to it without reading it

Practice speaking very clearly Practice speaking – NOT reading


Practice (continued)

Practice your hand gestures so they are natural to you

Use a timer (for example, a watch) so that you will know how long you have spoken. (You may be surprised!)

Listen to your friends and try to use their comments to improve your speech

Decide whether you will use a podium


Delivery

Learn how to relax yourself- Admit that you’re nervous

- Think about what you’re going to say and its effect to the audience

- Project confidence

- Think good to look good and to feel good

- Start strong and end strong


Delivery should not call attention to itself

- Do not let your tension mess up your long preparation

- It’s your time to speak so let you voice be heard

- You delivery should help the audience understand

- Your delivery must create empathy in the audience

- Develop eye contact


Physicality is also important in delivering a speech

- Know your settings before you deliver a speech

- Develop good posture

- Stand straight and breathe naturally

- Use appropriate body movement

- Make sure that your facial expressions fit on what you are saying


Use of voice or vocal variation

- For small group: your voice must be soft but loud enough to be heard

- in a large crowd: you must project a loud voice


Concluding Your Speech

Conclude with words that tell the audience that you have finished: You may summarize: For example, “In

conclusion, I have given you three reasons why this measure should be adopted.”

Thank them for their attention


Dealing With Questions or Audience Response

If there is time and opportunity, invite them to a conversation

If you receive questions, be polite and listen and then thank the questioner for the question, even if it is hostile

When time for questions and responses is finished, thank them again for their attention


Conclusion There’s nothing to be afraid of in public speaking. One has to be aware of his weaknesses in terms of speaking in public and find ways on how to

improve it. Acknowledge your fear and start gaining

confidence.
