How many of us have never performed in front of a wide audience? At school, at the university, at work - the ability to correctly express one's thoughts and interest listeners is appreciated everywhere.
Instructions
Step 1
As you prepare to speak to an audience, consider what audience your message is intended for. Consider the interests of your audience when choosing style, language, content. The history of the discovery of the periodic law of elements is unlikely to be of interest to fishing enthusiasts. Whereas a joke that is considered successful in the company of fishing friends is inappropriate at a serious chemical conference.
Step 2
Once you've identified your audience, ask yourself the question: What is the purpose of your message? Do you need to share an important scientific discovery, or just to entertain your audience?
Step 3
Starting from the goal, choose the methods. Will you strictly formulate your report, laying out the declared topic in a clear sequential plan, or will your performance be a live dialogue between you and the audience? Pick a specific style and try to stick to it throughout your message.
Step 4
Set the size of the message. Of course, at a scientific conference, information should be presented as fully and deployed as possible, but fishing enthusiasts should not tire of a long and lengthy story about the quantum theory of the atom.
Step 5
Remember that the first 30 seconds of your presentation are decisive. During this time, the viewer manages to decide for himself whether your story is interesting to him, and to form a certain attitude towards you as an orator. The first impression is very important, think it over to the smallest detail.
Step 6
Whatever your audience, no one will like it if you mutter to yourself, read from a piece of paper, or take long pauses. Rehearse your presentation ahead of time. If necessary, plan your presentation to avoid long and awkward hitching.
Step 7
Illustrate your message. Give examples, tell stories from life, support the report with posters, presentation, visual things. Remember that it is easier for a person to memorize images than words and numbers.
Step 8
When appropriate, add humor to your talk. This will allow your listener to relax a little, to feel sympathy and trust in you.
