英語演講:成功演講的10條秘訣
10 Tips For Successful Public Speaking
Feeling some nervousness before giving a speech is natural and healthy. It shows you care about doing well. But, too much nervousness can be detrimental. Here's how you can control your nervousness and make effective, memorable presentations:
演講之前感到些許緊張是自然、有益的。這表明你渴望把事情做好。不過，過度緊張則會(huì)適得其反。這里教給你一些如何控制緊張情緒，進(jìn)而使演講達(dá)到預(yù)期效果、令人難忘的方法：
1. Know the room. Be familiar with the place in which you will speak. Arrive early, walk around the speaking area and practice using the microphone and any visual aids.
1．熟悉場地。爭取熟悉你要發(fā)表演講的環(huán)境。提早到達(dá)并巡視講臺(tái)，練習(xí)使用麥克風(fēng)和其他輔助視覺設(shè)施。
2. 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.
2．熟悉聽眾。在聽眾進(jìn)入會(huì)場時(shí)向他們致意。向一群友好的人演講總比對一群陌生人演講來得容易些。
3. Know your material. If you're not familiar with your material or are uncomfortable with it, your nervousness will increase. Practice your speech and revise it if necessary.
3．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(huì)增強(qiáng)。演練你的演講稿，并且做必要的修改。
4. Relax. Ease tension by doing exercises.
4．放松自己。做些準(zhǔn)備活動(dòng)松弛緊張的神經(jīng)。
5. Visualize yourself giving your speech. Imagine yourself speaking, your voice loud, clear, and assured. When you visualize yourself as successful, you will be successful.
5．設(shè)想你自己演講時(shí)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(shè)想自己成功，你就一定會(huì)成功。
6. Realize that people want you to succeed. Audiences want you to be interesting, stimulating, informative, and entertaining. They don't want you to fail.
6．要意識到在場的人們希望你成功。聽眾希望你的講話興味昂然、催人向上、旁征博引且風(fēng)趣幽默。他們不愿看到你把事情搞砸。
7. 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.
7．不要道歉。假使你說到你的緊張或?yàn)槟阌X得任何講稿中感到不妥的地方表示歉意，你就可能是在提醒聽眾注意一些他們其實(shí)并未意識到的東西。對此絕口不提就是。
8. 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.
8．集中注意力于內(nèi)容上，而不是形式。把你的注意力從內(nèi)心的焦慮上解脫出來，轉(zhuǎn)向外在的演講內(nèi)容和聽眾。然后你的緊張感就會(huì)逐漸消失。
9. Turn nervousness into positive energy. Harness your nervous energy and transform it into vitality and enthusiasm.
9．把緊張轉(zhuǎn)化為積極的動(dòng)力。要控制你的緊張情緒并把它變成活力和熱情。
10. Gain experience. Experience builds confidence, which is the key to effective speaking. A Toastmasters club can provide the experience you need.
10．積累經(jīng)驗(yàn)。經(jīng)驗(yàn)會(huì)帶來自信，后者是演講取得成效的關(guān)鍵。加入司儀俱樂部你就能學(xué)到你需要的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。
