We can see a different kind of people everywhere in different positions. Communication is essential to identify people and their characters. We see students, politicians, business people, undergraduates, artists, and sportsmen. The interactive communication skills of the people will help to evaluate them. Whatever the position you are currently being, you need to come across with a situation to deliver a public speech. There are events, interviews, competitions, and programs. So here we see some tips to deliver a good speech.
Be sure of your sequence of events; then practice out loud in front of a mirror if possible, until you are used to the sound of your own voice and gestures. These gestures should be very simple-If used at all.
Be sure your facial expression interprets the theme of your speech. Your eyes are most important – use them. The atmosphere can make or break the period of time you are delivering the speech. Be sure it is quiet, secluded, and that there will be no interruptions once the speech begins. Don’t be afraid to use high and low tones to impersonate characters.
Once you have prepared your speech, you are ready to deliver it. These points will help you do it more effectively. Smile and make eye contact with your listeners. Vary the pitch of your voice and use facial expressions and hand spirit of the speech- unless you do. Don’t deliver it.
