How To Be a Confident Speaker: Ten Tips

Here are ten tips for becoming a more confident speaker.

1. Organize - Outline your thoughts, beginning with the goal of your presentation. Be disciplined and stick to your outline. This will give your presentation structure.

2. Spice it up - Like a good dish, every presentation needs some spice and accenting. A few well-chosen anecdotes, a well-timed joke, a personal experience, or a fact can liven things up.

3. Feel the Floor - Before you begin to speak, be sure that your feet are firmly planted. Making floor contact helps you breathe better, and provides a sense of strength and power.

4. Relax muscles - Muscle tension affects not only the way you look, but the way you sound. Lightly shrug shoulders, roll head, wiggle toes to relieve body tension. Gentle chewing motions and smiling internally helps loosen jaw and facial muscles.

5. Breathe deeply - Deep breathing relaxes and supports the voice, improving your entire delivery. Think of your torso as an accordion which expands with every inhalation and contracts with each exhalation. Proper breathing also leads to increased stamina, and prevents your voice from becoming tired.

6. Focus - When speaking , concentrate on the subject of your speech; by so doing, your presentation will be more focussed and alive. To help focus yourself, before speaking, concentrate on an object or color you find pleasing. This will help channel your attention, as well as relax you.

7. Use energy - Energize your speech by activating your breath and speaking with conviction. Even if you're speaking softly, make the air between you and your audiences vibrate. This will help you project better, and communicate more effectively with your audience.

8. Add color - Vary the sound of your voice. Emphasize important words; change your pitch from high to low and vice versa. Alter your rhythm of speech to add interest.

9. Practice - The old adage, "practice makes perfect," could not be truer when it comes to speaking . The more you practice in advance and become familiar with your material, the more comfortable you'll feel, and the more comfortable your audience will be.

10. Have fun! - Fun is infectious. If you're enjoying what you are doing, you will automatically convey this to your audience.
