Top 20 Public Speaking Training Tips

These are the 20 fundamental public speaking tips I summarized from my training and coaching practices. The list covered a wide range from structuring your speech, using body language and your voice, to how to connect better with your audience.

#1: Wrong way of breathing will only increase your stress and nervousness before your stage time. 99% of people have shallow breathing. Are you one of them? To become 1%, practice deep breathing from today.

#2: A physical barrier between you and your audience leads to a mental barrier.

#3: Don't ADD variety in your voice. Relive the emotion in your speech and the variety of your voice will flow.

#4: Are you making full use of your stage? Hey, I'm not talking about walking all over the place aimlessly. Instead, give each spot of your stage a meaning.

#5: How do you raise your voice? Did you find yourself end up with shouting? You can avoid that by the correct way of breathing.

#6: Do you build Curiosity in your speech? If your audience is not curious throughout your speech, you'll lose the connection.

#7: To sound conversational, build companionship with your audience.

#8: Take a deep breath before you talk. It will give your voice resonance and make you sound more powerful.

#9: Do you start your story with "Let me tell you a story"? Stop it. Lead the audience into your story without them realizing it.

#10: The secret to never memorizing your speech is in the structure. Structure wisely for internalization and visualization.

#11: Curiosity is king in connecting with your audience. It's the pre-requisite in getting your message across.

#12: Do you swallow syllables? Enunciation is essential in not only retaining the connection with your audience, but projecting a positive and powerful image of you as a speaker.

#13: Short words and sentences bring brevity and clarity. Your audience will be more likely to follow your speech.

#14: Are you using your throat as voice amplifier? No wonder you'll get strained:-) Use your chest to amplify your voice instead.

#15: When you are the speaker, you are in charge in the room. Be responsible to your audience and you'll feel less nervous.

#16: Do you have too much reasoning in your speech that put your audience lost with a wide open mouth? Replace it with a metaphor.

#17: Don't drink milk or coffee before any presentation. It will affect the projection of your voice.

#18: Do you have the right persona to speak persuasively? Do you look & sound persuasive? Focus on building this invisible persuader.

#19: Your real voice is what others hear, not what you hear. These two are incompatible. Record yourself more to hear the difference.

#20: In speaking, it is the short and simple words that are more effective and memorable.
