HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO BECOME AN ACCOMPLISHED PUBLIC SPEAKER

Are you a passionate motivational speaker or in the process of becoming one? I have come to realize that one of the most challenging factors to many aspiring speakers is the induced fear that tends to take them, making them unable to withstand the presence of the crowd. 

Actually, it has become prevalent such that the perceived individuals who are expected to deliver something worth hearing have ended up being unable to express their well phrased ideas as intended. It is actually an inexplicable situation which presumably can be suggested to be emanating from paranoid nature of some, or mere conclusion of under-delivery of personal message as expected. 

Indeed, there was an instance I had attended a particular youth forums and as one of the speakers stood up and started delivering his commentaries, I could feel his trembling voice, he was also looking quite unstable and could not be able to maintain constant eye contact with the audience.

This actually implied that he had not build up his level of confidence so that he can comfortably face the crowd and deliver the best with utmost enthusiasm coupled with a powerful intonation. But is there a long lasting remedy to this kind of situation? Indeed yes. 

Here are some of the factors you need to consider for you to become an accomplished top public speaker:

1.      Feel at ease with yourself. This implies that you own and maintain a cool relaxing mode as you are about to commence your public speaking. This will make any intruding fear to wane away and self confidence will start building up. The serene within you will actually give you the peace of mind.

2.      Make proper preparations prior to your presentations. By you going onto the podium with a blank mind will be like a ship without radar. This may actually resonate to utter confusion while trying to represent your “technical know-how” leading to an upsurging wave of tension. This would actually result to a haphazard or chaotic presentation.

3.      Ensure you take control of your audience. This can be through maintaining close eye contact to constantly capture their attention. You can also have a moment where you can pause or create a moment of silence a bit as you allow the point outlined to be encroach into the minds of audience. Audience love to be engaged, right? Ensure you make your presentation is lively since monotony which implies lack of variation can impose negative effect into your presentation.

4.      Make your presentation as simple as possible in a way that it can be well articulated, comprehended and grasped by your audience. This would make them gain the understanding of the point you are trying to drive in them.

Therefore, for one to shun away the fear of public speaking, consistent practicing can be the only medicine and solace. One prominent author, Dale Carnegie states that “You can never attain the freedom of stage-fright by reading a treatise. A book may give you excellent suggestions on how best to conduct yourself in the water, but sooner or later you must get wet, perhaps even strangle and be "half scared to death." There are a great many "wetless" bathing suits worn at the seashore, but no one ever learns to swim in them. To plunge is the only way.” Thus, practice consistently and you will experience an amazing transformation!
