The Importance Of Effective Public Speaking In The Audience

Within my role I sometimes had to do public speaking which I had to address a group of people and as we already know this is another form of verbal communication. I always ensure I am well prepared and organised for an effective speech. I do strongly believe In public speaking, my speech must be prepared according to the type of audience I are going to face. The content of my speech should be authentic and I must have enough

Being a socialize person, I have always believed that public speaking is not a problem for me at all. However, I realize I was completely wrong as I had to deliver a lot of speeches in front of class, which was a quite a struggle for me. Even though my English accent has gotten a lot better throughout the year, yet it would always get terrible during my speech as I was mispronouncing words constantly. Fortunately, I have came to realize that my accent would not be so bad if I memorize the speech instead of reading it out loud like how I usually would.

The thought of speaking in front of an audience causes fear and anxiety in some people and prevents them in expressing their thoughts. Ability to effectively speak to people is an essential skill to be successful in the workplace. Not only the workplace but expressing thoughts, opinion, and ideas are part of everyday life. Good speaking skills are required to simply convey information. In an organization, managers, supervisors, team leaders, and employees that are required to make a speech need to have skills of good public speaking. Public speaking involves a lot more than just standing in front of an audience and talking. How thoughts and message are delivered depends on a number of factors, such as speaker’s comfort level, the nature of the information and most important, audience’s expectations. In a workplace, speeches can include impromptu speeches, informal discussion during meetings, presenting project report, selling of a product, and promoting an idea or future plan (Baccarani, & Bonfanti,2015). With the utilization of proper speaking methods, education, training, and

There is no question that after giving about four speeches, I have become a much better overall public speaker. In the beginning of the semester, I would tend to get nervous during some of my speeches and consequently the delivery of my speech would be greatly affected. If I had made a mistake, my level of nervousness would drastically increase and I wouldn’t know how to correct it. Although today I have improved on these aspects. Normally in order to control my nerves I try to think as positively as possible. This is critical because when I start to think even a little bit negatively then I severely hurt my chances of giving a good speech. Instead today, my main priority is to stay very confident and tell myself that I’m going to perform fine.

During the speech, I was also a good speaker in many ways. I had a good voice projection, my hand moment was consistent, I was always facing the audience and held eye contact, and had facial expressions to emphasize the importance of a topic. Right off the bat when I was explaining my citation saying According to the U.S Census Bureau “there are alone 5.7% Asian’s in the United States,” I was pointing my hands to make sure everyone was paying attention to the numbers. Another thing I did well during the speech was, that I kept eye contact with everyone during the speech

Whether I like it or not I been given the opportunity to talk to large crowds like a squadron or just a couple of people in the class. My problems have always been the same getting shy, anxiety, and even sweating. Learn to analyze the size of the audience, I want to be able to captivate my audience and overall I just need to find the confidence in myself to do it.

Public speaking is something that I enjoy. Being able to talk to many people at once and having them get to know a part of me is something I find interesting. With me enjoying speaking to people I found myself running for the Associated Student Body (ASB) president my senior year in high school, I was the secretary previous year. Knowing that with the position of being the president of the school I knew it came with having to be very social not only with my fellow ASB team but with the entire school! However, that was the least of my problems. I knew that in order for me to run for the position having a speech to present to the former ASB president and administration of the school was mandatory. Writing speeches have never been my cup of tea. I have always winged it, mixing my personality into the core of the message I was trying to deliver seemed to always work for me. I worked on the main points I was going to present, had a few lines that I knew I was going to follow but the rest I knew would come to me when the day came. It was the day for everyone running for office to have their presentation ready. Because I was running for the highest office that was available everyone who applied for a lower/ different position went first. Starting from the lowest office of being the freshman representation moving all the way up to the president. Because I was one of the last to present I had an advantage of

Claudia Stepanovich gave me a message through power point that I completely agree with and that is that public speaking is not a skill you are born with; it is something that you have to learn and get better at. This message spoke to me, because I am extremely nervous about public speaking and I always avoid it when I can; when I can’t avoid it I always get nervous and start to stutter and forget information.

An exceptional presenter speaks to their audience’s interests, and uses stories to make their speech more pleasant. Exceptional presenters own the room by making themselves the center of attention. To be the center of attention one must appear organized, and credible. You should have a passion for the subject that you’re speaking about, and you must engage your audience. Engaging your audience relies on the ability to understand your audience, and relate to them. Relating to your audience can be difficult if you are working with a diverse set of individuals, but if you appear natural they will be more accepting of you. Above all, practice is key.

Depending on the words you choose for a speech it can change the perspective of the audience. Make sure you choose wisely. You never know what you may accidently create it could be war or peace. You can still speak your mind but, you need to be careful how you present it. If there was a roomful of Catholic people you would not go into the room and mention how you hate God and that he or she is the worst thing to believe in. You should stick appropriate material for speech for the audience. You do not have to believe in God to present a speech to a group of Christians. It is a powerful statement when the book refers to “that all the threads of the tapestry are equal no matter what their color.” Page 37 The Public Speaking Playbook By Gamble.

Speaking to an audience of hundreds of people sounds terrifying to me, however, it is this precise reason why I think I would make a great speaker. Throughout my academic career, I have always loathed presenting because I am naturally more reserved and in some cases, I am a shy person. I find myself not taking advantage of speaking in classes because I prefer having my thoughts prepared in advance so that I am clear and able to defend my arguments. I have not had a bad experience presenting yet, and I attribute this to careful preparation. Furthermore, I believe my idea is worth spreading because of its timeliness and potential to impact today’s society. I take pride in all the work I put in leading up to the presentation and the opportunity to have the audience’s attention.

Throughout life we express ourselves through words. The way we present ourselves through speech says a lot about our character. The way one speaks to others can jeopardize the amount of respect and trust others have for them. From the way one pronounces a word to their posture can affect the way an audience interprets what is being said. Personally, I am not confident with my speaking skills at this point. I would like my audience to fully comprehend the concepts or facts that I would present to them. In order to do so I must improve my speaking skills I believe that a problem most people, including myself, have when giving speeches is facing an audience. Just looking out to an audience of a mere ten

Furthermore, the speaker is visually boring because of they are lack of confidence and fear of public speaking. Effective speakers use visual language to engage the audience. Your hand gestures, facial expression, posture, movement and eye contact are critical components of your visual language. When you take the stage, always maintain eye contact with the audience, not with the screen behind you. Make sure you are appropriately and professionally dressed for the occasion. Make sure your appearance is neat and clean. You don’t need to have a 1000 dollar suit but you need to be dressed appropriately. You don’t want the audience to remember you because your slip was showing or because your shirt was wrinkled. Don’t wear anything that is distracting and takes away from your message. For example, 20 bangle bracelets that make noise every time you gesture is not a great idea. Practice your hand gestures and body movement when you rehearse your speech. Your hand gestures should complement your language, not
