How to Speak in Public Without Fear

How to speak in public without fear

All communication is aimed at trying to convince of something to another, to persuade the other of something. Whenever we speak we influence others so that we get a response. Whatever we say look for a reaction in another person.

No message is absurd. Everything has meaning. Even the most insignificant of our actions or our expressions looking for something in the other, though neither we ourselves are capable of being aware of it.

Even the most innocent of the messages is full of intent.

When we say “What a beautiful day makes!” seek a response from the other person. We find that the other confirm our assertion, or disprove that, or this we mean that we want to go to the countryside or the beach, or take a walk, or we are comparing today with yesterday that it was raining, or just express how well we feel, etc …

No message is completely “sterile.” Everything has its purpose.

So we tend to automate this kind of language that often spring up spontaneously from us in an almost unconscious.

But when faced with an audience, the process is usually the opposite.

First we must identify which is the message we really want to express and then find the words that best do so. In this way we transform our communication in a fully conscious process, controlled.

 
He should not aim only to inform, since as we said this is virtually impossible. What we seek always to influence others and therefore more attractive we make our speech more easily achieve our message without thereby losing a bit of seriousness.

 
All he wants her audience will agree with this position and even move him to an action (for a politician to make that audience will vote for an actor to recognize his talent and applaud you for a speaker get others to abide by their views.)

So the most important thing is not boring.

If bored our audience can be convinced that their attention will dissipate and eventually if not us so our message does not arrive.

In order to give the public anything goes: be very aggressive, provoke, be fun, switching our words with those of other speakers, illustrated by presentations, graphics, etc …

However, we measure all that we do well as the way in how we present our arguments will be critical to the prosecution when the message we want to convey.

This is usually advisable to focus our discussion on one main objective, although they can decorate with two or three additional secondary endpoints.

Should not overwhelm the audience with many messages, since we wanted to move that audience to a particular action, and the profusion of messages that can only lead to decentralize the public is what they really want from them.

 For that to be a good speaker, that captures the attention of an audience entertained, interesting and persuasive, we must begin, as always, determine what will be most effective in our speech.
