成功演講十秘訣 10 Tips for Successful Public Speaking
Know the room.Be familiar with the place in which you will speak.Arrive early,walk around the speaking area and practise using the microphone and any visual aids.
Know the audience.Greet some of the audience as they arrive.It’s easier to speak to a group of friends than to a group of strangers.
Know your material.If you’re not familiar with your material or are uncomfortable with it,your nervousness will increase.Practise your speech and revise it if necessary.
Relax.Ease tension by doing exercises.Visualize yourself giving your speech.Imagine yourself speaking,your voice loud,clear,and assured.When you visualize yourself as successful,you will be successful.
Realize that people want you to succeed.Audiences want you to be interesting,stimulating,informative,and entertaining.They don’t want you to fail.
Don’t apologize.If you mention your nervousness or apologize for any problems you think you have with your speech,you may be calling the audience’s attention to something they hadn’t noticed.Keep silent.
Concentrate on the message—not the medium.Focus your attention away from your own anxieties,and outwardly toward your message and your audience.Your nervousness will dissipate.
Turn nervousness into positive energy.Harness your nervous energy and transform it into vitality and enthusiasm.
Gain experience.Experience builds confidence,which is the key to effective speaking.A Toastmasters club can provide the experience you need.
熟悉場地。爭取熟悉你要在那里發表演講的環境。提早到達并巡視講臺，練習使用麥克風和其他輔助視覺設施。
熟悉聽眾。在聽眾進入會場時向他們致意。向一群朋友演講總比對一群陌生人演講來得容易些。
熟悉你的講稿。如果你不熟悉你的稿子或者對它不滿意，你的緊張感就會增強。練習一下你的演講稿，并且做必要的修改。
放松自己。做些準備活動松弛緊張的神經。設想你自己演講時的情景。想象你自己在侃侃而談，聲音洪亮、吐字清晰、充滿自信。倘能設想自己成功，你就一定會成功。
要意識到在場的人們希望你成功。聽眾希望你的講話趣味昂然、催人向上、旁征博引且風趣
