Public Speaking Workshop: Easy Ways to Improve Your Public Speaking Skills

Particularly on the internet, you are besieged with offers of “Free Public Speaking Advice”, “Free Public Speaking Podcasts” and “Free Examples of Persuasive Public Speaking”.  These offerings, however, are not really effective tools except to lure you into public speaking seminars with the intention of costing you more money.  There really are many free ways to improve your public speaking that are not a con.

The first is to read books on public speaking from your local library.  While this may have no impact on your abilities, it will at least get you started on the concepts of eye contact, hand gestures and other essential skills.  Many of these books more honor public speaking and speakers than they do teach.  They are free though, so don’t complain.

The next is to join your local Toastmasters group.  This may be too scary a concept, or too time consuming for you.  With executive presentation, and executive presentation skills, there is no substitute for practice in a real environment of crowds and fear.

Another way to develop your presentation skills is to tape yourself and listen to the result.  A $20.00 cassette recorder will do just fine.  See if you are loud enough, talk to fast, have a nervous twitch, use fillers such as “um” or use a monotone.  It’s amazing how different you sound on tape.

Better yet, if you have a video camera, make a video of yourself.  You won’t need a public speaking feedback form to fill out, just see what you think.  Then try it again and again.  Keep recording and critiquing yourself until you like what you see.

The next option is to convert your car into a public speaking workshop.  Buy, or get from your library, some CD’s on public speaking and listen to them while in your car on the way to work.  Make up your own topics and start practicing speaking while you drive.  In the age of speaker phones, passing drivers will just think you are on the phone.

A free activity if you have time, is to read articles about public speaking, readily available on the internet.  Often, the articles do not have the hidden sales content that podcasts and the like contain. 

It doesn’t take a lot of money to learn public speaking.
