ME AND PUBLIC SPEAKING

Public speaking is a common source of stress for everyone. Many of us would like to avoid this problem entirely, but this is hard to do. Whether we work alone or with large numbers of people, eventually we will need to speak in public to get certain tasks accomplished. And if we want to be leaders or achieve anything meaningful in our lives, we will often need to speak to groups, large and small, to be successful. The truth about public speaking, however, is IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE STRESSFUL! If you correctly understand the hidden causes of public speaking stress. I am a college student taking architecture course. As a student, we must practice public speaking so we will be able to improve ourselves. In my level, we always have this presentation that we do in front of our lecturer and classmates. Presentation is one of public speaking. There are three things to remember to do public speaking. First is content of your message. It is a message packed with practical, easy to remember and useful information. When you do public speaking, make sure you do not memorize your speech. When you memorize, the more you prepare, the worse you will do. All you need is you have to understand your content or message in able to deliver it to audience in a great ways. Second is confidence. Knowing that what you share will be valuable and useful, and that you are the one to share it. If you have lack of confidence, you will probably shake nervously in front of your listener. The more nervous you are, the higher chance you will forget your speech. And the last one is connection. You must be able to draw the audience into the message. That’s what brings the laughter, the tears, the standing ovations. You must connect with the audience. If you practice this three things while public speaking, you will improve. The more you do public speaking the confidence you are because you are trained to speak in front of crowd. In a public speaking, you don't have to be brilliant or perfect to succeed, when you speak in public, nothing "bad" can ever happen, and you don't have to control the behavior of your audience.
