For many people, any performance is a huge stress. However, a few rules can help you overcome your fear of the public and make your speech attractive and interesting to your audience.
Instructions
Step 1
Make the first positive impression on your audience, grab attention immediately at the beginning of your speech. Do not admit that you are not used to speaking in front of a large audience.
Step 2
Understand the problem you are covering and become a professional in the field. The audience should feel that you are a real specialist who wants to convey important information to those present. The audience shouldn't have any doubts about your qualifications. Find additional interesting information on your question. Even if you don't cover it, it will give you a lot of confidence.
Step 3
Rehearse your presentation in front of the mirror several times in advance. Pay attention to relaxed gestures and postures. Build your speech correctly - remove all unnecessary and simplify it. Make a detailed plan so you don't miss out on details. At the same time, try not to read out the speech, but to tell everything in your own words. Reading the text is not interesting. Discard complex terminology. The simpler your suggestions are, the easier they will be perceived by listeners.
Step 4
Be open, give examples, images, comparisons from real life. Diversify your speech with quotes, jokes, statements from famous people. However, avoid vulgarity, personal questions. Make your speech emotional. Companionship will build trust in you. For example, try to shape your speech into a dialogue with yourself. Guessing the possible questions of the listeners, give the answers to them yourself.
Step 5
Keep in touch with the audience - ask them questions, contact them, try to have them also take part in your performance. At the end of your speech, provide a short summary - the main theses and conclusions of your report. Be confident and have fun with your audience.
