How to Public Speaking to be a Success????

Well, speaking is one of the four language skills which is given in learning English. It is the second language skill that has to be introduce and mastered in learning English. It is very important and communicate in English with other. Especially for public speaking. Public speaking is actually the most common fear out there. If you don’t get time to practice it often, it’s really just not fun. Okay guys its can help you to do public speaking especially. There are tips how to public speaking to be a success :

1. Don’t read. When you get a situation, automatically when you are talking to people because you have something to say. You’re talking to them because you know what the heck you’re talking about. Speak from your head, not from your paper in front of you. In fact, try not to bring any paper at all, because they make shaky hands easy to spot. If you need notes, bring a clipboard or a notebook to help you out.
2. Plant your feet in a comfy stance. Nothing is more distracting than watching someone pace, rock, or fidget with their feet. Also, DO NOT cross your legs while standing. Even if you have incredible balance, you’re just asking to fall over.
3. Eye contact. This is the easiest one on the list. Don’t shift your eyes around, don’t stare at the back wall. That advice is for high scholars. Look at everyone in the eye. For every sentence you say, look at someone. Shift to someone nearby when you say your next sentence. If your transition from person to person is smooth and steady, everyone will feel like you’ve spoken to them, and spoken to them well.
4. Take some time to recover. If you make a mistake, don’t apologize profusely, don’t stammer. Audiences are very tolerant of a moment of silence. So, if you fumble, just take pause and recollect your thoughts, and then resume. It’s a much more graceful approach to saying, “oh um I forgot to mention that crap so I have to go back” etc.
5. Tell stories. People remember them. If you want to talk about the importance of your live or tell them about your experience.. If you’re talking about it, tell them about events you’ve hosted. Be funny, and smile with your stories. Chances are, the audience will smile back.
6. Be CONFIDENT. Public speaking isn’t as much about what you say as it is how you say it. Whether the many audience , you have a reason to be there, and to make them really listen to what you’re saying. Sell yourself and your message to them. Deliver it like you’re the best person in the world to do it. Speak loudly, and smile. It’ll make the most boring speech more engaging.
7. Have FUN!

Good luck to try it. Go and tell people your message, be proud and have fun doing it guys!!!!
