Public Speaking Training Courses: 4 Great Tips to Add Interest

Public speaking can be very intimidating. Most people try to avoid it altogether; however, the time may come when you must give a public speaking speech or a presentation. The last thing you want is to be considered boring! You want to look at your public speaking audience and see them leaning forward in their chairs and listening intently to what you have to say.

Following are 4 tips, when used properly will add interest and variety to your public speaking speeches. Actually these are considered to be 4 rhetorical devices.

1. Simile. A simile is a comparison that uses the words like or as. "Her harsh words stung like knives piercing his heart." Do you see how that added interest rather than just saying she spoke harshly?

2. Metaphor. A metaphor will imply a comparison. "Poverty is a cancer that must be cured." Most people can identify that a cancer is something that must be stopped.

3. Alliteration. This is one of my favorite ways to add interest to what I am writing or saying. When using alliteration you repeat the initial sounds in words. "Carefully crafted," "wild wonder" and "demoralizing dilemma."

4. Triads. A triad is when you group ideas, adjectives or points in threes. This appears to give a pleasant rhythm to what you are saying or writing. "As volunteers we pledged our time, our assets and our loyalty."

I hope these 4 tips give you some ideas for bringing interest to your public speaking speeches or presentations. Remember to choose your words to create a "word picture." You want your public speaking audience to experience what you are saying. Let them use all their senses as you lead them to not only hear but to also see, smell, touch, and taste what you are saying.
