Here’s some great tips for public speaking and using your voice.
To use the voice to best effect in ashow involves us having to put a great deal of effort into the way we manipulate it. So how doyou best use your voice?
1. Adding some confidence. If our audience doesn’t believe in us, then why will they bother giving us the time of day, not to mention sit through our presentation?
2. Conviction in what we are asserting is also key. Putting across our fervour, despite the incontrovertiblefact that we are really convinced in our own argument, could cause our audience to question us and put question marks over what we have got to say.
3. Passion, too, is critical. If we are assured and are convinced in our own bitching, then very likely we will also come across as enthused. Being ardent is also infectious. If we sound all fired up by what we say, the probabilities are we are going to have a simpler ‘sell in’ of our ideas than if we appear not so turned on by the topic matter in hand.
4. Our integrity is also something that must not be brought into question. If we try and bluff our way through a sticky patch, we can be sure the fans will almost certainly catch us out with the result that nearly the rest we say could also be challenged.
5. Of course, if we can show wehave a widespread grasp of the topic in hand by having the ability to show off our information, then that too is very important, though not really necessary. Or is it? Broadcasters most frequently talk about a subject with which they are not very familiar. Of course , not every broadcaster can be well versed in every subject. But the indisputable fact that they have done their research entirely gives them the wherewithal to ask searching questions of their interviewees and, as such, shows them to be ‘instant gurus’!
Finally, having a good voice is actually avalued asset, but is not really necessary to a good show. Few are graced with really beautiful voices, but there are thousands more who are good presenters.
Ensure you add using your voice and enhance your public speaking confidence.
