Understanding Your Shortcomings and

Overcoming Them – Training Tips

A very essential thing when you are trying to become a successful

speaker is to understand where your failings are and improve upon

them. In this chapter we are going to see how you can improve

yourself as a speaker, whether in a formal or an informal setup.

The first step is to understand your failings as a speaker. What

happens when you have to speak? Do you become unduly

nervous? Do you forget what you have to say? Practicing what

you will say beforehand will help. Carrying a small paper with

notes on it will also help. Let it be kind of assembly; carrying

notes is always permissible. And, if you get nervous, all you

have to consider is that people who are listening to you are also

just as much human as you are. When you consider this human

equality factor, speaking to them does not seem so formidable.

In fact, you are the one with the privilege here because you are

speaking and these people have actually assembled to hear you

speak.

If you cannot speak because you think you cannot use the right

words, you should not let that deter you. Speakers need not be

literary geniuses. You should learn how to work your way around

words. You can mug up some quotes that you will speak out.

When your quotes are effective, people are already impressed.

Speak relevantly. That is more important than the language.

People want to hear your ideas, not judge you for your

knowledge of the language. Hence, when you are preparing

anything to say, whether it is a proposal for marriage or a huge

business proposal, it is the ideas flowing from you that really

matter.

Give anecdotes, but don’t go overboard. People always latch on

to what you are saying if you can relate that with other living

people’s experiences. They find your speech more credible.

Most importantly, do not think of yourself as any less than the

people that are listening to you. If you know your subject well,

don’t let anything else get in the way of your speaking.

Chapter 3:

The Three Essentials to Becoming a Magnetic Speaker

Summary

It is surprising on how becoming a magnetic speaker actually stands

on just three important pegs.

The Three Essentials to Becoming a Magnetic

Speaker

Here are the three things that have characterized prominent speakers

all through the ages. Learn how to incorporate them into your

speaking as well.

The Right Ideas

Whenever you open your mouth to speak, people want to listen to the

ideas flowing in your head. Even if you are speaking with a friend

about the quality of food at a new restaurant, your friend wants to

hear how you find the food to be. Whenever your boss opens his

mouth to say something, you want to hear what he wants to say. Get

the point? It’s the “what you say” part of the conversation that really

matters, not the “how you say it.” Keep that focus in mind, more so in

public speaking. Think of the points that you will be speaking about; it

does not really matter if you don’t use the best words.

The Right Gestures

Your body language is an important part of you when you are

speaking. If you are going to hold yourself stiff, you will come across

as too nervous and worked up about what you are going to say. If you

hold yourself too loosely, you will come across as an overconfident

imp. Hence, you have to strike a balance here. Stand comfortably, but

not lMore important are your gestures. Move your hands as you speak, but

not too much. Emphasize strong points with a corresponding hand

gesture. It makes even the lazy listener sit up and listen.

Always make eye contact with your listeners. Apart from making them

feel that you are speaking right to them, you also get an idea of what

they are thinking about when you are speaking.

The Right Concentration

Even though it may not seem to be so when you hear them, all

effective speakers are extremely concentrated on what they are

saying. They put their whole soul into their speech. They are so

focused on what they are saying that new points may come to their

mind even as they speak. This is how great speeches are made, not by

reciting what has been committed to rote memory.

This also includes alertness. Effective speakers are quite astute

persons. They are extremely alert about their audience’s reactions. A

stifled yawn, a bleary look, a rolled eye, nothing goes amiss. They take

everything into account and assess how the audience finds what they

are saying. They get the idea if the audience does not like something

they said. This gives them a chance to justify things a little more, to

win the audience over. Or, they can make out if the audience is

looking perplexed. If that happens, they try to reiterate the point in a

simpler manner.

The bottom line is that you have to be watchful about your audience’s

feelings. It gives you a chance to keep working up your speech as you

say it, to make it sound better to your segment of the audience.

Chapter 4:

Practically Practicing Your Speech

Summary

A speech is a very practical thing. It has to be put into practice and

must be practiced.

Practically Practicing Your Speech

Becoming an effective speaker isn’t something that you can do

overnight. It takes a lot of practice and effort.

It is said that a person who wishes to bowl the audience over with an

effective speech must keep practicing the speech 24/7. That isn’t

wrong actually. But this does not mean you should keep muttering

your speech under your breath all the time. The practice that you do

refers also to the ideas that you keep thinking about. In fact, if you

just remain alert to what’s going on around you, it could be effective

practice for your speech. That’s because by being alert you are being

observant – probably something that you see can become an effective

anecdote to use in the next speech that you make.

It is also a good idea to have little practice sessions with your family

and friends. That doesn’t mean you have to bore them with your

oratory skills all the time, but you can test the waters subtly. Try

saying something to them and see how well you can capture their

attention. Try selling them an idea, probably about watching a movie

that they aren’t much inclined on watching or doing something similar

which they are not too keen about. Convincing this small group of

people is some practice for your speaking education.

Try more difficult things as you go along. If there is a family gathering

or some similar celebration coming along, ask the emcee to give you a

shot at the mike. Ask the permission to say something simple and

short. It will give you a “feel” of what being in front of an audience

could be like. Here you would be at ease because you know more than

half the people. Still, an audience always looks forbidding to someone

that hasn’t had a good deal of speaking experience.

It takes time, but you will become more confident slowly. Remember

that confidence is one of the main ingredients of becoming a forceful

speaker.

Chapter 5:

Coping with the Crowd – Overcoming Stage-Fright

Summary

If you are friends with that stage, nobody can tie your words down.

Coping with the Crowd – Overcoming Stage

Fright

I have a friend who is often asked to speak to crowds. He speaks so

much in front of crowds that no one would believe that this guy with

the easy swagger on stage is actually scared to death from the

prospect of getting up on that stage… even today. What makes him

come onstage and deliver all those well-received speeches is that he

makes it a point to have two straight shots of vodka a quarter hour

before he is scheduled to speak!

Vodka may be one way to overcome stage-fright, but I surely wouldn’t

recommend that for two reasons. One, it can make you slur if you

cannot handle the drink, and two, you may not be able to bring about

those improvisation in your speeches that we have spoken about

earlier.

So what’s the next best option? Read through the following points to

learn how you can tackle the problem of stage-fright in the best

possible manner.

Make Eye Contact

When you get up on that stage, the first thing you must do is check

out the audience. Take a short moment to glance through the

audience. Look at every corner, if you can, before you begin. When

you see your complete audience, a major part of you

you see your complete audience, a major part of your intimidation

vanishes.

The same applies when you are trying to start speaking something

important with someone. If you are confused on how to begin, the first

thing to do is to get an eyeful of them. That puts you at ease and you

can talk better.

Prepare a Thunderous Opening Line

Practice and re-practice your opening lines well. If you are starting

with a quote, try saying that with different tones and modulations and

see which works the best. Then go up there and deliver your best.

If you are trying to propose to someone, the same thing works. Have a

great opening line ready and give it your best shot.

Any speaker gets twitchy when they have to speak to a new audience.

But you must know that this twitchiness lasts for only a few initial

seconds. After that, you get into the flow of the talking, considered

you have prepared it well, and you don’t fumble. Hence, if your

opening is well-rehearsed, you will find the nervousness pass away

more quickly.

Keep Great Expressions on Your Face

Whatever it takes, don’t ever let it show that you are nervous. Keep

those smiles coming and don’t frown. Speak naturally. When you look

back at your speech, your affable expressions makes it look much

better.

Chapter 6:

How to Speak Onstage without Hemming and Hawing

Summary

If you are not confident about what you speak, you won’t come off

sounding well to the audience. Here’s how to improve your speaking

by several notches.

How to Speak Onstage without Hemming and

Hawing

To be effective in your speaking, you have to make sure that you

speak in a flow. You should not stop midway and make embarrassing

pauses while trying to think what you will say next. This is a horrible

thing to do when you are onstage, for yourself and your listeners, and

when you take one such pause, you feel much more worked up about

the whole speech.

The best way to deliver a speech is to say it out in one shot, like it

were a big monolog, and not stop midway.

So, how do you do that?

The first important thing you need to be able to speak without

flinching midway is to practice your speech well. First of all, commit

the speech to memory. Do it the way you like it – either mug up the

entire speech or just the points, if you would like to rather work on

them as you go. But, the most important practice is the speaking

practice. Stand up in your room, and deliver the speech. Do it in front

of a mirror. Check yourself as you say it out. You will find a hundred

things you can improve on.

When you have said it once, take a pause, and then say it again in

front of the mirror. You will see that the faults will have largely

reduced. You will be able to speak better too. Doing this a few times

really helps.

Psychologists say that people get stage-fright not because they have

to deliver a speech or perform on the stage, but because they are too

conscious about the way they look and the way they conduct

themselves. When you practice in front of a mirror, you can correct

most of these problems. In fact, you will become liking the way you

conduct yourself after the first few times. This is when the speech will

come across more fluently.

Later, get someone to hear you out. Tell them to criticize you openly.

Work on these criticisms so that you can do better on stage. It is great

if you can ask a few people to hear you delivering your speech

because you could get a lot of varied feedback in that manner. Try to

remove these faults.

When you are onstage, keep in mind that these are also people like

you. Most of them have stage-fright too, and if they were called

onstage this very moment, their legs would probably turn to jelly. You

are doing a much better job. This boosts your confidence; you are able

to speak much better.

Chapter 7:

Putting Your Point Across

Summary

Every speech is delivered because it has to make a point.

Putting Your Point Across

When you are speaking – to a single person or to a complete audience

– most of the times, you are trying to make a point. You are trying to

see what you are telling. At least, this is very much pronounced when

you are speaking onstage. There, you are trying to make hundreds of

people see things your way. Hence, it becomes very important to learn

how you can put your point across.

We have already spoken a lot about the confidence factor and how you

can improve upon it. It is highly important that you use these different

methods and improve your confidence so that you can convince those

listeners in a better way. If you are of a shaky disposition yourself, no

one is going to buy what you are saying, even if it were the voice of

reason.

Here are some things you must remember when you are

trying to put

your point across, especially when you are onstage.

Feel the Audience

A good speaker can do that. Within the first three seconds while they

are onstage, they can find out whether they are speaking to a friendly

audience or a hostile one. You will have to change your speech

accordingly. You won’t need major changes, but if the audience is

hostile, you might need to put in an example or two more. It is best

you prepare for these in advance.

Start Interestingly

Your start should literally glue people onto their seats. It should grab

their eyeballs. They must want to listen to you. Begin with an

interesting anecdote or quote or example. If you have spoken the

same thing someplace else before and it has struck a chord with the

audience, then you can use a similar strategy, or even the same thing

if you are sure this audience is totally different.

Make Your Point Early On

Some speakers bore their listeners to the verge of death before they

come to the main point. A brisk opener is enough to set the right

mood. Then go straight to the point. Make the point first and if you

have more anecdotes and examples to give, work them in later.

Keep Your Physicality On

Let all those gestures, expressions, eye contact, etc. be on in their full

glory. This is what rivets the audience.

Chapter 8:

The Five Essentials of a Dazzling Speech

Summary

Have you come out of an oration being bowled over by the manner the

person spoke? Quite likely, these five essentials were part of their

speech

The Five Essentials of a Dazzling Speech

After checking out hundreds of speakers, some of them of

international repute, we have unearthed these five characteristics that

are present in all their speeches. Are they present in yours?

The Right Stance

Great speakers hold themselves properly on stage. Their mannerisms

are exemplary. Even before they open their mouths to speak

something, they have already made an impression because of the way

they carry themselves. If you check out some eminent personalities

speaking, it will be very easy for you to work these into your speech

deliveries too.

The Right Tone

A great speech is varied in tone. The speaker won’t drone on and on in

the same mode. Their volume will go into an ebb and then surge

emphatically when a particular point is of great relevance. They will

put the correct emphases on exclamatory marks and questions, which

will be found aplenty in the whole body of their speeches anyway.

The Right Interest

One more aspect of great speakers’ speeches is that they know how to

keep the interest alive. At the slightest hint of the audience losing its

interest, they will bring forth a highly interesting point to re-captivate

the audience’s attention. They will also use interrogations in their

speech delivery. These interrogations, if effectively used, will make the

listeners ponder if even for just a second. This is what we mean when

we speak about “interactive” speeches.

The Right Examples

It is very important to include examples in your speeches if you want

to make them attractive. There is one very important point served by

this. When you give examples, you are making the speech sound more

real, as though what you said has really happened with someone that

the listeners know. If you don’t give examples, your speech becomes

one-dimensional as though it is only your point of view. A good

speaker is always looking for great examples to include in future

speeches. Keep a small book where you make handy references of

such ‘examples’ as you come by them and use them when needed.

The Right Closing

When you are listening to a speech, you are carried by it, but the part

of the speech that really makes a lasting impact is the closing. This is

what the people will carry home from the speech in most likelihood. All

great speeches are characterized by great closing lines.

Chapter 9:

The Most Effective Part of a Magnetic Speech – The Closing

Summary

The closing is what lingers in the listeners’ mind even after the speech

is over. Work on it; this is largely what makes your speech more

impactful

The Most Effective Part of a Magnetic Speech –

The Closing

If you make a great speech, but close it in a non-impressive way, a

large part of your speech is lost. When you speak effectively, people

are very much interested in what you are leading to. People generally

have a mindset that makes them think that the best is always saved

for the last. That is the reason they are very much eager to hear the

close of the speech. Now, if you don’t work on it, your speech will

become a completely lost cause.

Here are different ways in which you can effectively bring your speech

to an effective climax.

Pose a question at the end. This question should have to do with

what you have just said. Keep the question a little tough, a

question whose answer won’t come right away into their minds.

However, the question must make them go back on what you

have said and scout for the answer.

Effective speakers are

known to use this little device which makes their speeches

remain in the listeners’ minds for a long time even after they are

long over.

Place a great quote at the end. Spend time to search for such

quotes on the Internet or elsewhere and speak them with

aplomb. Do not elaborate on these quotes; leave them hanging

in the minds of the audience.

Sum it all up at the end. If you don’t know how to effectively

close your speech, just give them a summary. This helps too,

because it gives you a chance to reinforce what you just said on

your audiences’ minds.

If you have something to give away, keep that announcement at

the end. This is a great way to get people interested in what you

have been saying. After you have made the announcement for

the giveaway, summarize the main parts of your speech.

Make an earnest plea. This works if your speech is for a clause.

Or, get someone else – an eminent personality, if possible – to

come ahead and make the plea. Just hand over the mike to

them and move offstage.

These are various ways in which you can bring your speech to an

effective close. Time and again, it has been proven that any and all of

these methods work.

Chapter 10:

Improving Yourself as a Speaker

Summary

A speaker is always a listener, a student.

Improving Yourself as a Speaker

A speaker is always a student. You have to always keep learning. You

can never say that you have become the most perfect speaker there

is. Speaking is such a personal thing that there is a great deal of

variety in this realm. Even as you listen to other people speaking – by

being a part of a live audience or checking them out on television –

you see that there are so many of their impressive things that you can

include in your speeches. There is definitely no harm in trying out. You

could try working in these traits in your own delivery and improve.

A speaker is also a much-informed person. Keep yourself abreast of

what’s going on. You will have to allude to anything, anytime in your

speeches. You can speak the most relevant speeches at any time if

you are abreast of what’s happening.

Also, speak with people. Take their feedback on everything. Use this in

your speeches. This is general feedback, general opinion. It is always

great to put a joke about what people are already making jokes. It

helps. The speech becomes more colorful.

Keep yourself educated on great quotes too, at least those quotes that

are effective for your subject. But remember that all the great quotes

will already have been taken, other speakers might have used it. Your

audience might have heard those speeches. So, try to keep your

quotes as unique as possible.

Most importantly, keep yourself aware of human nature at all times.

People who are listening to you are human entities. They will react as

people normally do. If you learn how to read people and their faces,

you will do better at creating an impact with the speeches that you

deliver.

Conclusion

Speaking is an enjoyable activity once you get the hang of it.

Go on, conquer the microphone and your audience.

You have what you need now.

All the best!!!
