8 Principles for Effective Speech Delivery
There are no secrets to public speaking. It’s all about learning! Politicians speaking on television or in front of an audience have developed their capabilities to captivate an audience by undergoing some personal training overtime.
A list of eight principles of effective speech delivery
#1 Practice in advance
Another challenge every speaker wants to overcome is tension. Rest assured, everyone feels apprehensive and tense when they are about to speak to an audience. A beating heart or trembling hands are normal symptoms. To prevent these feelings from overriding the quality of your performance, or preventing you from speaking in public at all, practice in advance. According to experts, it is best to practice in the shower, since practicing in front of a mirror can be a great distraction. A good alternative is to train out loud, trying to identify those details that can be improved to make a brilliant presentation.
#2 Know your audience
Before giving your Speech, try to speak with part of your audience, so that if you feel nervous, there are some familiar faces inside the room that will give you back your security. Remember that one of the keys to a good speech is to make good eye contact with those present. Knowing more about your listeners will help you determine your choice of words, the level of information, the organizational model, and lines that will motivate them. Create the outline of your Speech: write down the subject, the general objective, the central idea, and the main points. Most importantly, be sure to grab the audience’s attention within the first 30 seconds.
#3- Relaxation techniques
If before entering the room, you find yourself nervous, it is best to take a few deep breaths that allow you to regain your calm. Finally, try to channel that adrenaline into positive energy. The adrenaline rush that makes you sweat also makes you more alert and ready to give the best of yourself. It’s pretty positive, isn’t it?
