Tips for Improving Public Speaking
Record Yourself
Whether a voice memo or a self-video recording, you’ve GOT to hear yourself externally—as other people would hear you. Your internal hearing does not provide an accurate representation.
Get Feedback
Reception is a critical part of effective communication. Having another set of eyes and ears to give you feedback is absolutely invaluable to know how your message lands with your audience.
Use Vocal Emotion
Infusing your vocal tone with emotion helps your audience to learn from you. It also inspires them towards action. Use vocal building blocks to increase vocal emotion.
Focus on Body Language
Aligning your face and body to match your vocal energy helps keep your audience engaged and avoids creating cognitive dissonance and confusion.
Try, Try, Try Again
You don’t have to be perfect before you start. There’s a lot of valuable learning that happens by doing and getting experience under your belt. Just get up and get going.
Embrace these tips and watch your confidence soar as you become a more polished and effective public speaker!
