How to be a good speaker ?

Everyone wishes to become a good speaker, go on stage to impress the crowd with their skills and leave their mark but very few people can do this.

Group Oratory remains a difficult task for most people. The main reason behind this is fear from the audience and not being able to face the crowd. There could be many factors behind it which can be dealt with, with complete preparation.

Here, I will discuss some such formulas which will help in becoming a good speaker by overcoming the fear of the audience.

If you have a deep understanding of the prescribed subject then the task becomes easy.

Speaking without understanding the subject is totally a foolish act. Of course, deep knowledge of subject can't be taken lightly.

It is necessary to have a clear outline around the original subject and in a flow. This requires extensive and deep study.

Examples, standards and quotes related to the subject should also be strong.

Work done on any subject instills confidence in you which will be very useful for both you and the audience.

Alongwith this, audience understanding is also very important, what's their level, thinking and problem of audience. Speech without understanding the mood of audience will prove to be useless and favourable results can't be expected.

Otherwise people give up trying after a couple of attempts. In fact the main reason for fear of mass communication is laziness done during opportunity.

Prepared material can be practiced at many levels.

Standing in front of the glass, in your room, above the roof. It can also be practiced by lying in the bed or with closed eyes.

These steps of exercise are basically visualisation exercise.

If confidence is awakened during these exercise then half of the battle has been won. In the same way you can practice discussing various topics among friends.

The effectiveness of which is determined by the practiced performed so far. Before starting on the stage, take a deep breath and start your oration with full confidence. Physical expression have their own importance in this. Which is decided on the basis of deep knowledge of subject, audience engagement and confidence. But if there is a fear in the mind before starting on stage then your body language can be softened the slowly while facing the audience firmly.

Thoughts and expressions have to be practiced before practicing behaviour. Also, effective oratory demands a hold on language which can be improved by continuous practice.

Observing your thoughts and feelings during communication is an important practice. Which can enhances is your oratory. This makes it clear where to improve next. Where new dimensions to add to your speech. Your voice recording and videos can help with this.

To improve mass communication skills.

You have to improve your sound, level speed, resonance and quality etc.

By making necessary improvement in all these, your oratory style can be modified.

So, stand up now and get ready to fight with all these challenges.
