An Outline: 1. What is meant by Public Speaking? 2. Modes of presenting the content of any speech 3. What is meant by stage fright? How can we overcome stage fright? 4. How to ensure an Effective Presentation?
PUBLIC SPEAKING Public speaking is speaking before an audience for a specific purpose. The three general purposes of speaking are: 1. To inform 2. To persuade 3. To entertain The purpose of informative speaking is to expand or broaden your listeners knowledge and skill. Lectures, demonstrations, sales reports, diverse forms of instructions, etc. are some of the examples of informative speaking.
The purpose of persuasive speaking is to influence or reinforce the listeners beliefs, attitudes, values, or actions . A sales presentation, a campaign speech, and closing arguments in a court trial are examples of persuasive speaking. The purpose of speaking to entertain is to amuse, please, or charm the audience. After-dinner speeches, the welcoming speech at a convention, and stand-up comedy are examples of speaking to entertain.
Hence, the first step in creating a successful speech, is to determine the general purpose of your speech. Are you going to inform, persuade, or entertain? Once you have decided your general speaking purpose, you can proceed to the specific purpose for the speech. The specific purpose statement is the goal you hope to achieve for your speech. Your specific purpose statement includes your general purpose, the intended audience, and the desired result or goal of the speech (Fujishin, R, 2009).
MODES OF PRESENTING THE CONTENT OF ANY SPEECH There are four basic methods for presenting the content of any speech: 1. Manuscript Delivery Manuscript delivery is reading the speech from a manuscript. Using this method, you write your speech and read your manuscript to the audience. 2. Memorized delivery. Using the memorized delivery method, you memorize the entire speech and then recite the speech without using the manuscript or even notes.
3. Impromptu delivery The impromptu delivery method revolves around the way one delivers a speech without any prior preparation or practice. This style is appropriate when you respond to an inquiry during a business meeting or answer a question during an interview, but most formal speaking situations require research, preparation, and practice. 4. Extemporaneous delivery Extemporaneous speech is prepared and practiced ahead of time, but its exact wording is not determined until you deliver the speech.
What is stage fright? How can we overcome stage fright? Stage fright refers to a nervousness before or during an appearance before an audience. Symptoms of Stage Fright: Dry mouth and tight throat Trembling hands, knees, lips and voice Sweaty and cold hands Nausea and an uneasy feeling in your stomach Rapid pulse
How to overcome stage fright? 1. Know the material. 2. Envision the best outcome 3. Take deep breaths before speaking. 4. See yourself as someone else. 5. Never apologize for being nervous 6. Arrive Early 7. Expect interruptions. 8. Anticipate questions and be prepared to answer them. 9. Rehearse as much as you can
HOW TO ENSURE AN EFFECTIVE PRESENTATION 1. Know your audience 2. Preview, present and review. 3. Relevant humour can be very helpful. 4. Do not read directly from the text or from your slides, it is a sure way to put your audience to sleep. 5. Make eye contact with all groups in the room. 6. Remember the language barriers ; speak slowly and clearly.
7. Do not appear rushed (Do not make others feel as if you have to get through everything quickly) 8. Use charts, graphs and other slides to enhance your talk. 9. When showing transparencies, stand near the projector facing the audience. When making a PowerPoint presentation (which the audience expects these days) on multimedia projectors, do not stand in the way of your audience and the screen
10. Disclose information progressively, so that attention is fixed and the audience does not jump to conclusions. 11. Use a font size that is visible to the audience 12. Do not leave a visual on the screen after the discussion pertaining to it has been finished (Priya & Bisen, 2009).
Encourage questions (early participation). Give a pause. Wait patiently through the silence, use it to your advantage for eliciting questions. Someone will surely break the ice. Repeat and rephrase questions. Do not apologize by saying, "I could not prepare" or "I am a last-minute replacement for so and so". 23. Involve your audience in discussion and make an assessment of whether or not the message of your presentation has been received. If not, explain the parts, which are not clear. 24. Show enthusiasm, have fun. BIBLIOGRAPHY Baker, A. (2007). Improve your Communication Skills. Kogan Page: London. Demlamain & Spring. Developing Baseline Communication Skills. Winslow: UK.
