Public speaking is a daunting task for many people, but it doesn’t have to be. You can do many things to improve your public speaking skills and become more successful as a speaker. This blog post will discuss 5 tips that will help make you into the best public speaker possible!

  1. Stay calm and breathe. The most important aspect of public speaking is your state of mind. You have to be confident and relaxed for your presentation to come across as natural, authentic, and lively. If you are feeling nervous or anxious before going on stage, just take a moment to yourself. Get that energy out by shaking it off like a dog does when they shake their fur dry after getting wet from the rain! Then walk up onto the stage with confidence! People can tell if you’re not confident, so don’t let them know anything different than what’s true about how capable you really are.
  2. Smile often to help connect with your audience better because people will want to listen more closely while hearing someone who smiles rather than someone who does not.

  3. Be mindful of how you talk to yourself before, during, and after your speeches, too, because what we think about has a significant impact on our performance in public speaking. If you are more optimistic, the end result will likely be better than if you were negative throughout an entire speech, for example! So make sure that you focus on staying calm and confident through any difficulty when giving presentations. It’s alright to have nerves but don’t let them get the best of you or allow them to stop you from doing anything – remember: breathe!

  4. Start practising public speaking skills by giving speeches at any opportunity. It’s normal to be worried, but try not letting those worries stop you from getting started because many people never took any action towards being better speakers, which means that once we start trying, our chances become greater than before – not less! If you’re feeling nervous about how they will turn out, just remember that this is only practising for when you’ll need them more down the line, so don’t get discouraged if things didn’t go well right off of the bat.

  5. As a final note, just remember that public speaking is an art form, and there are many ways to do it successfully! You can even use some humour if appropriate but don’t be overbearing with jokes because people want serious information too – so find the balance in your speech when including light-hearted moments or jokes while still being professional about the content.
