INTRODUCTION

The art of public speaking is defined as the act or process of making speeches in
public and the art of effective oral communication with an audience. But the
process of making speeches in public goes far beyond the stage time. It involves
a lot background preparation work before those speeches can be delivered.
Likewise, defining public speaking as an art involves more than just oral
communication. It is the entire package of the speaker, the stage, lighting, the
layout, the sound system. This is where the conventional definitions of public
speaking do not justice to the act of delivering great speech.
 DISCUSSION

What is public speaking?

Public speaking is an art, it is not just delicate art- there are steps and methods in
delivering a speech that make it into a science. When you describe something as an art,
people get the notion that it is a skill that you either have or do not have, and that it is
something innate and difficult to learn.

3 Golden Rules to Master the Art of public speaking

1. Communicate effectively:
Focus on both your verbal and non-verbal communication skills. The audience
will not only listen to what you have to say, but how you say it. They will look at
your body language and things that will grab their attention like the pitch of your
voice, the way you move your hands or a lack of eye contact.
2. Connect with your Audience:
Whether you want to persuade your audience, motivate them or convey a certain
message, you want them to really listen and hear what you have to say. No one
wants to be bored to death. Leave an unforgettable experience. Make sure you
know your target audience and keep your desired end result in mind.
3. Preparing and Practicing:
Calm yourself and regain focus, start with proper preparation and practice. It is
as simple as that. If you prepare your speech well in advance and you keep
practicing so that it becomes as second nature to you, you will experience more
comfort. It will feel like you are telling a story you know off by heart.

The Style of Speech, Speaker, Audience

Why is speech style important?

You see, when a speechwriter sets us to draft a winning speech, he not only considers
the topic – he thinks about the speaker, audience, and purpose of the speech. Why, you
ask? He does this mostly to keep the attention and interest of his audience.

The Style of the Speaker

A speaker’s style is simply the unique way in which the information is delivered to the
audience. People are different. So, to get the message across in the most effectively
way, the speaker’s style must factor into the content of the speech. Sound confusing,
but it is not!

There are a few styles to think about:

Content – rich speaker:

If the speakers is content-rich, he may speak in fact significant to the audience.
He will stick to objectives information.
Funny or humorous speaker:
These funny or humorous speakers entertain the crowd using jokes and other
antics to generate excitement and interest.
Storyteller:
This speaker tells a story about something relevant to the crowd. It’s not
necessarily factual information. Maybe he will talk about an experience he had
that can translate into a lesson for the audience.

Consider the Audience

Knowing what your audience knows will help you to tailor a speech to their level of
understanding. You will be able to choose the right words, define the once they may
not understand and even make tone decisions that will ensure your audience gets it.
 Consider these questions.

 How much does the audience know about the topic?

 Does the audience agree with your beliefs?
 Is there anything new to present?
 What does the speech mean to the audience?
If the audience doesn’t agree with you, it is important to choose your words
wisely. One of the quickest ways to lose an audience is to offend them. It’s best
to find a happy medium to start building your relationship
