Quarter 2- Week 5

At the end of the session, I would be able to:

EN10OL-Id-3.16.1 Employ the techniques in public speaking in a sample public
speaking situation.

Concepts:

Public Speaking
Public speaking is giving speech face to face to live audience. However,
due to the evolution of public speaking, it is modernly viewed as any form of
speaking between an audience and the speaker. Traditionally, public speaking
was considered to be a part of the art of persuasion.

Techniques in Public Speaking

 Start strong with a “grabber”. A personal story, a quote from an expert or a
shocking statistic – something that takes a hold of your audience and gets them
hooked and opens their mind to your message. Give the audience a chance to
see your personal connection to the topic.
 Structure your material in three sections – grabber, middle, and close.
Know your material. Get really interested in the topic. Find good stories.
 Practice. Rehearse out loud with all equipment you plan on using. Work to
control filler words; Practice, pause and breathe. Use a clock to check your
timings and allow time for the unexpected.
 Know the audience. Try to speak to one or two people in the audience as they
arrive – they will be your allies in the audience – it is easier to speak to friends
than to strangers.
 Listen to good Speakers Take every opportunity you can get to speak (and
listen to other speakers). Prepare well ahead of time. Experience builds
confidence, which is the key to effective speaking.

 Know the setup. Arrive in good time to check out the

speaking area and get practice using the microphone and any visual
aids.
 Pauses. Include 3-8 second pauses at key moments – just before
key statements or just after a story – this really brings the audience
into the speech.
 Smile. Look like the content matters to you – if the audience don’t
feel that it is important to you, it will be really hard for them to feel
that it should be important for them.
