Speech Preparation Tip #28: Practice, Practice, Practice

Experience and training are essential for public speaking. Experience helps ingrain good speaking habits that will come out in any presentation. However, an amature who gives a well rehearsed speech can give a better presentation than a professional who has not practiced.

Public Speaking Improvement Tip #27: Watch master Communicators in action.

I'll never forget seeing Zig Ziglar in person. One thing that jumped out at me was his enthusiasm. Whenever I want to update my enthusiasm, I think of Zig. Just watching him helps me improve.

Do you watch the masters of public speaking?

With the age of Youtube, it is now very easy to see master speakers in action. Below are several videos. As you watch them, ask these three questions.

You may think this last question is a little odd. Every speaker can improve and watching with a critical eye will help you improve your skills.

"Hello, this is Arlen."

"Hi Arlen. This is John. We are looking for a speaker on August 12 in the evening."

"What can you tell me about the event?"

"………"

"Yes, John. My calendar is open. I do have some questions for you."

"Sure Arlen, go ahead."

Speech Research Tip #26: Be a Detective and Research your Audience.

Knowing your audience is essential before preparing and delivering the presentation. This knowledge will enable you to connect with the audience and tailor a presentation that hits home.

I may have the same keynote I give to various audiences, but I tweak it depending on if I am talking to Junior highers or retired seniors.

Back to the phone conversation. I asked John a series of questions to get a grasp on exactly who I would be speaking to. This helped me to create a "Chris" and focus my presentation.

Speech Delivery Tip #25: Act out your Presentation

During his Speech Tom used several phrases:

"Men took off their suite coats and threw them down."

"Audience rushed out."

"The Speaker pointed at the audience"

Good action sentences. However, Tom acted out every single one. He woound up and pretend to spike a suite coat. He rushed to one side of the stage to give us a visual of the audience rushing out. When he talked about the speaker pointing at the audience, he pointed at us also.

The result? His speech came alive, the audience's attention was held throughout the speech, and it was very memorable.
