Top 5 Ways to Prepare for a Public Speech

By Brenda Van Wyck

Tip #1TIP REASON

1. Write the Speech or presentation on something you are interested in and have knowledge of.

1. If you are not familiar with the actual topic, or are uncomfortable speaking about it, the way you present your speech will be dull and lifeless and the crowd will lose interest quickly.

Tip #2TIP REASON

1. Memorize your speech/presentation, but bring cue cards with you that have your speech on it just in case.

1. If you have your presentation memorized, you can speak confidently without worrying what to say but how loudly you should project your voice, your posture, and your tone of speaking.

Tip #3TIP REASON

1. There is no such thing as speaking too loud while giving a public speech (unless your screaming). Don’t be afraid to belt it out, speak slowly and clearly, and use good posture.

1. If you speak loudly; everyone will be able to hear your facts and story. Also, people tend to speak 10 times faster when they are in front of a crowd than when alone, so if you sound like your speaking slowly, your probably speaking normal speed. Good posture is attractive and shows confidence.

Tip #4TIP REASON

1. Don’t picture the audience in their underwear (or naked). Instead, pick one person in the crowd (preferably the farthest person from you) and speak only to them. If possible pick a couple of people in the crowd (again far from you to ensure good volume) and speak to them.

1. It’s easier to talk to one individual person than talk to a crowd. Also If you pick the person farthest from you, it ensures that you speak loudly and therefore everyone can hear you.

Tip #5TIP REASON

1. Before speaking, your mind will try and psych you out by telling you how much you don’t want to give a speech. Instead, psych your brain by telling yourself you are happy to be there. Tell yourself you want to give a speech. Even add that into the introduction of your speech just so you can hear yourself say it out loud.

1. If you convince yourself that you want to do this, it will be less scary. For ex. Some people are afraid on bungee jumping. If they tell themselves how fun it will be, then they relax and they enjoy it. This is a hard method to accomplish, especially if you are shy. Keep trying at it and you will succeed.
