You can rehearse your speech as much as you like at home. And going out in public, get lost and mumble. If this happens, the situation is not at all hopeless. It is enough to take some preparatory measures.
Instruction manual
one
Make sure your soul is free. Phenomena such as anger, not forgiveness, hatred, can interfere with your communication with the public. It is difficult to master oratory if there is an unreasonable stone on the heart. An orator always conveys to his listeners the state of his soul. Facing people, many begin to feel constrained, lacking openness, joy, and daring. If this happens and you understand that the reason is inside, seek the advice of believers. Free your soul to always be in flight.
2
Have a good preparation. To speak in public with a soul, it is not enough to hope for inspiration. There are good spontaneous speeches, but also years of preparation lie behind them. Randy Push in his book "The Last Lecture" said that although he was used to giving speeches without pre-written speeches, he was preparing for the last speech for 4 days. During this time, he looked at 300 photographs and dozens of illustrations to select some of them as examples and show on slides. On some, he wrote proverbs or various tips. All this helped him during the performance to remember what he wanted to convey to the audience. Good preparation gives you inner confidence that you did everything you could. Get ready as convenient. Maybe you just need a speech completely written on paper. It all depends on personal preferences and other factors.
3
Bring your appearance in proper condition. If you tend to worry about a speck on a shoe, then these thoughts will haunt you during the performance. And therefore, your shoes should look impeccable, so that there is no reason for internal stiffness. However, try to perceive yourself with a certain amount of humor, even if something went wrong.
4
Come to the venue in advance and stand on stage. Find something good in the hall that warms your soul. Catch a glance at some object that will later help you find peace. It can be a picture on the wall, a door handle or other minor detail that can be seen from the scene. So the venue will become “your” for you, immediately something spiritual will appear.
5
Tell everyone why you came to this place. Let your soul out to meet people like a sun bunny.
note
Before starting a performance, it is important to establish eye contact with the audience. But this is an emotionally difficult condition if you are very worried. Then you will want to avoid eye contact.
Randy Push experienced something similar before his last performance. He had cancer and had several months to live. People were aware of this and were somewhat tense and alarmed.
He avoided meeting anyone's gaze. At the very beginning of the performance, he suddenly sank to the floor and began to push up. Some cried out in surprise, someone began to applaud. The situation was discharged and the hall was ready for a lecture. People saw in front of them an ordinary person, and not someone dying.
Maybe something unexpected will come to your mind too. To speak with the soul, act from the heart, not according to a rigid scheme. Everything will work out.
Useful advice
Learn from the experience of other speakers. Everyone brings something different to public speaking. Everyone experiences, but comes to victory. Learn from them, read books, practice.
