Advice on Public Speaking- oral or spoken presentation

 

It’s very normal to feel nervous about talking to a group.

Everybody is scared or at least wary of speaking in public.

 

VOCAB wary of = nervous/worried about   

 

#1 fear of most people is public speaking

 

If you feel nervous, you are in good company.

 

-when faced with an opportunity to do some public speaking

-autonomic responses – unconscious, automatic body responses

auto- self

noma- body

somatic- in the body

 

responses that we can’t control

-                      bad dreams the night before

-                      hard to get to sleep the night before

-                      nervousness

-                      heart racing

-                      upset stomach

-                      knot in your stomach

-                      butterflies in your stomach

-                      jittery hands, shaky hands

-                      sweating

-                      clammy hands

-                      voice cracks

-                      have to go to the bathroom

-                      red face, blush, flush

-                      mind goes blank

-                      feel faint, dizzy, light-headed

-                      crying

-                      laughing

-                      pacing, moving a lot

 

 

These are normal and predicable responses.

Most of us are all in the same boat here. We are in the same shoes.

IDIOM in good company, in the same boat, in the same shoes- we all share the same experience

 

REMEMBER: We’re all on your side. Everybody wants you to do well.

 

Try to relax, if possible.

We are interested in what you have to say.

 

Deep breath!

If you mess up, just take a second. Take a moment. Take a deep breath.

We’ll wait.

Then keep going.

 

No need to apologize.

 

Feedback slips

 

Take five slips. Keep any extras for tomorrow.

We will give the feedback slips to the presenters at the end of the presentations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Four Tips/Pieces of Advice I Gave My Children for Talking to a Class/Public Speaking

 

1. Deaf grandmother- speak up, speak a bit louder than usual, slow your rate of speech down a bit, slower than usual

2. Good dog!- energetic tone, energy in your voice, animated, avoid monotone

3. Magic eye – eye contact, right between the eyes

4. Wavy hands- hand gestures, be careful of pacing

 

It gets easier with practice.

TIP/HINT: If you see a presenter that you like, copy some aspects of their style.
