• Dress appropriately (formal or about the topic – that may be a fun way , ice breaker
• Make eye contact
• Facial expressions/body movement/hand gestures (More on this tomorrow)
• Posture – stand up straight , rocking back and forth, pacing endlessly (I do some of those)

• No unnecessary quiet pauses, Be aware of meaningless speech sounds (mmm, um, okay, you know, IIII)

• What is public speaking?

Simply put, public speaking is talking to a group of people.
PUBLIC SPEAKING IS A PROCESS, AN ACT AND AN ART OF MAKING A SPEECH BEFORE AN AUIDIENCE

Major Objectives of Presenting Information:

• Information. Oral presentation is mostly used to inform audience about product, services, event, etc.
• Persuasion. It’s an important objective of presentation. The aim is to slightly pressurize the audience into accepting an offer, suggestion, or advice.
• Goodwill Building. Oral communication also helps in building positive and constructive relationships.

MODERN ELEMENTS OF PUBLIC SPEAKING

Types of public speaking. Some broad categories are:
Speaking to inform
Speaking to persuade
Speaking to entertain - ceremonial speeches
Extemporaneous/impromptu

Basic Elements of Public Speaking

Introduction. Most people don't pay enough attention to the introduction of a speech. The introduction is one of the most important parts of the speech, because if you lose your audience at the beginning, getting them back can be next to impossible
Attention.- A joke, a quote, a startling statistic, any number of things can serve the purpose well.
Purpose. What will make listening worth their time?
Credibility. . Why are you qualified to talk on the things you are talking about?

Body. This is the main content portion of your speech.

Organization. Your audience needs to be able to follow you. Be certain that you have some sort of pattern.
Transitions. Don't just jump from point to point, but smoothly move from one issue to the next.
Climax. At some point, your speech should come to an end
Conclusion. Here, you should wrap up any loose ends. T
A final closing example. Drive your point home with one more powerful demonstration. o Call to action. What should your audience do now? If you weren't trying to persuade them to do something, what is the most important point that they should take away from your speech? o Why it mattered. Briefly recap what you said, reminding your audience why it mattered.
Call to Action. Leave audience with something to think about.

Body language

Tone of Voice

1) Pace (speed) - Fast , Slow or Mix
140 – 150 words per minute is a perfect speed
2) Pitch
Men speak in a lower pitch (120 HZ) (good)
Women speak in a higher pitch (220 HZ)
Use higher pitch for excitement and use lower pitch to add seriousness to the message.
3) Volume Too high (shouting) (incorrect) Too low (can’t hear) (incorrect) Varying between them is an excellent decision
(4) Pause Components of a Successful Speech - Short Pause (0.5 to 2 sec.) - Spontaneity Pause (unplanned) - Long Pause (35 sec to 2 min.)
identify the power words that should be underlined by pauses
