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

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

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 six slips. Keep any extras for tomorrow.

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

 

We will give constructive feedback/constructive criticism.

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

EXTRA TIP: Reframe in my mind- no group, just individuals

Everybody is on your side.

 

 

 

 

Memorizing-

Extemporaneous speech- talking freely and naturally about a topic

Ad lib-  making up things on the spot

 

 

 

EXTRA TIP #2 – mic usage, proximity to your mouth
