10 Public Speaking Tips

Whether it’s to inform, to persuade, or to entertain, everyone has tried public speaking.We shudder at those memories. We’ve all been there: show-and-tell, class recitals, oral participation, PowerPoint presentations, graduation speech, declamation contests, etc. We have been secretly taught the art of public speaking in school, yet we still feel uncomfortable giving it, unless you're an extrovert. Here are 10 public speaking tips we put together. Hope you find these skills helpful!

Sometimes it is just hard to leave a public comment on a video...

[jeaya]

Teacher: so who has the answer for (insert something)
Me: **raises hand high and confidently**
Teacher **picks me**
Me on the outside: **calmly answers like a normals person**
Me on the inside: **heart is beating, legs are weak, about to have a panic attack, CODE RED CODE RED**

Can you do 10 things to have a normal conversation? Like talking with a friend without being awkward

I honestly think schools shouldn’t have presentations to the whole class. If a kid had social anxiety or some shit, don’t force them to make themselves have a fucking heart attack in front of everyone just for a “good” grade.

I was waiting to hear something about controlling your breathing in the “During a presentation” part. It seems so simple but for many people controlling their breathe is what makes them fail. Once you control your breathe everything gets easier.

Cue the “imagine everyone naked or in their underwear” comments.

I got a breakdown and cried cause Of speaking before A teacher cried all way home did Ok but hated my self I had a breakdown

[robotraider]

When I do this, I start to shiver but I also start to sweat. Its a horrible feeling, does anyone else feel that? Its always when talking to someone(s) I dont know

Thanks a lot for sharing this video. In a couple of hours I have my presentation and this is the very thing I needed the most now

#3 and #5 you SAY stimulate but the written words say simulate. I think the written word simulate is whats intended. Please fix. 😁

Good tips.

[RinneMaslowfan]

These tips are very helpful, unless of course, you are so socially awkward and anxious that just the mention of "class presentation" makes you want to run for the hills. Oh wait, that's me

[gabrieltupas]

Couldn't come at a better timing have short presentation on Tuesday.

[zarahledbetter]

even though this is something that i can work through and overcome, i've learned that this has become way too much for me to handle. i don't want to keep living my life in fear. i will never get through this and that's why i've chosen to just simply end it.

You're one of the channels that inspire others to believe in themselves, I hope you reach 8M subs one day.

I have to do a presentation in 3 days.. I'm being recorded and I suck at public speaking. Some people say they can't hear me and I sound strange on speaking on camera, every single one of my classmates are allowed to look at each others videos. I use to not even speak when I had to present in first grade. Someone wish me luck please I'm nervous

[enzor]

Thanks, this year im going to be the class orator at the graduation so it is going to help me a lot.

[lustfullsounds]

Ahw, this helped me, as I have a speech on Monday. :)

[samiaahmad]

Thank you so much for this! After about, 1 week of exams, i have a speech competition. I've only participated in one before, which was in Urdu, and this one is in English. Wish me luck!

Never say "I don't know" in public speaking. It's a death sentence.
