10 Tips for Successful Public Speaking
Feeling some nervousness before giving a speech is natural and healthy. It
shows you care about doing well. But, too much nervousness can be detrimental.
Here's how you can control your nervousness and make effective, memorable
presentations.
1. Know the room. Be familiar with the place in which you will speak.
Arrive early, walk around the speaking area and practice using the podium and any
visual aids.
2. Know the audience. Greet some of the audience as they arrive. It's easier
to speak to a group of friends than to a group of strangers.
3. Know your material. If you're not familiar with your material or are
uncomfortable with it, your nervousness will increase. Practice your speech and
revise it if necessary.
4. Relax. Ease tension by doing simple stretching exercises.
5. Visualize yourself giving your speech. Imagine yourself speaking, your
voice loud, clear, and assured. When you visualize yourself as successful, you will
be successful.
6. Realize that people want you to succeed. Audience members want you
to be interesting, stimulating, informative, and entertaining. They don't want you to
fail.
7. Don't apologize. If you mention your nervousness or apologize for any
problems you think you have with your speech, you may be calling the
audience's attention to something they hadn't noticed.
8. Concentrate on the message – not the medium. Focus your attention
away from your own anxieties, and outwardly toward your message and your
audience. Your nervousness will be reduced.
9. Turn nervousness into positive energy. Harness your nervous energy
and transform it into vitality and enthusiasm.
10. Gain Experience. Experience builds confidence, which is the key to
effective speaking.
