We all know that communication plays a vital role in our life. Without communication, we would not be able to share our thoughts and ideas, feelings and emotions. We would not be able to transmit and transfer our thoughts and ideas or messages and information from one person to another. At present, we all know how to communicate and express our views, thoughts, feelings, etc. But, when it comes to speak in front of hundreds or thousands of people, we go in an under pressure zone. We speak in a fearful way and sometimes we just fall short of words! To avoid these things and enhancing your public speaking skills, here are some tips:
1.When you are speaking in front of hundreds or thousands of people, the very first thing which comes up is your 'VOICE'. Your voice should should be loud. By loudness, it doesn't mean that you start speaking at such a high pitch that people call your voice to be cunning for them. But your voice should be a little loud in order to let people be able to listen you. In other words, we can say that that your voice should be audible to people. So, always make sure that when you are speaking, your voice is audible to people.
2. Next thing, which comes up when you are speaking in public is 'clarity of voice'. Your voice should be clear. The words which you are speaking should be clear. Your pronunciation should be good and clear. There should not be any ambiguity.
3. Next thing, which comes up is 'correctness'. Always make sure, that whatever words you are speaking are clear as well as correct. No wrong words should be used. No abusive language should be there. No incorrect information should be delivered to people. Always use correct words and expressions. Always give the correct information to people.
4. Now, the next thing which is very important is 'completeness'. Always make sure that your sentences are complete. The information which you are delivering is complete. There should not be incompleteness in your message. Incomplete information always leads to confusion and misunderstanding and this misunderstanding further leads to conflict. So, to avoid these things, you should always make sure that your information which you are delivering is complete.
5. Next, very important thing which comes up is 'conciseness'. As it is said above that your content or the information which you are delivering should be complete, it does not mean that you start explaining in such depth that people start getting bored. You should speak things 'to the point'. You should not speak very lengthy points instead you should try to concise and precise your speech so that people will not loose interest in your speech.
6. Another important thing is providing 'up to date' information. No one is interested in listening the old and torned information which is equal to garbage. Always try to add facts and latest information to your speech.
7. Next thing which plays a very important role in your speech is 'tone of voice'. When you are speaking, you should speak in a kind, humble and polite voice. There should not be angriness, irritation or cunningness in your voice, instead there should be politeness in your voice when you are speaking.
8.Now, the next thing which comes up is, 'expressions' and 'gestures', 'postures', ' body language'. You should not only focus on the content of your speech but should also focus on the manner of delivering it. You should include these things also:-
giving good facial expressions like frowning, smiling, blinking of eyes, nodding of head, hand movements, good and impressive gestures, postures, standing straight, interacting with the audience and answering their questions.
9.Last very important thing is 'listening'. You should listen to people also who are asking something or are questioning to you in between your speech and should try to answer them. Listening is important because 'a good listener is always a good speaker!'
By including these things, you will be able to not only improve your speaking skills but will also be able to enhance and polish it.
