The ability to convince in words, to express one's thoughts coherently, clearly and beautifully, not to be afraid to speak in front of an audience - all these skills are very useful for a modern person. Some people naturally have excellent oratory skills, while others are not. The latter are often lost when communicating with other people, they do not know what to say, how to correctly convey their thought and idea to the interlocutor. Therefore, such people ask the question: "How to develop oratorical skills?"
Instructions
Step 1
Very often a person is able to express his thoughts beautifully and connected, but he cannot show his oratorical skills because of the fear of public speaking. To overcome this phobia, you need to follow a few guidelines. To feel more confident when performing, prepare for it. Make a plan to follow during your speech. Or, for example, if you are going to make a presentation at a conference, then compose a text that you will pronounce during your speech and learn it. This will help you feel more confident.
Step 2
If you are lost because of a large number of people, then you can choose one person and contact him, and not try to cover the entire audience with your eyes. It is only better to choose a person who sits in the middle or at the end of the hall, then you will get the feeling that you are talking with the whole hall, and not with just one person.
Step 3
Help yourself in your speech with gestures, facial expressions. Of course, you don't need to wave your arms too much, but you shouldn't stand like a statue either. Natural movement will help you feel freer and more at ease.
Step 4
Many begin to stumble during a conversation, mumble something incoherent, as they feel constrained, afraid to make a mistake. This can be avoided if you think through all your fears in advance, give yourself the right to make mistakes. For example, you are afraid that you will forget your speech. Think about what you can do to remedy this situation. Imagine how you get out of this awkward situation. If you go through all this mentally, then in real life it will be easier for you to orient yourself later if you suddenly find yourself in a similar position.
Step 5
Self-confidence is not enough to have good public speaking skills. You need to be able to speak correctly and beautifully. A person with a wide vocabulary can express the same idea in different ways. To do this, you should expand your horizons, read more books, be interested in the world around you, etc.
Step 6
Speaking clearly and easily can also help improve public speaking. If you speak indistinctly, others ask you again several times, then you need to fix it. Record your speech on a voice recorder, and then listen to it. Remember all the flaws that you discovered. Then record yourself again, listen again. Do this until your speech is satisfactory. Or you can say tongue twisters. Do it slowly at first, learn to pronounce all letters, words well. After that, you can try to speak at a faster pace, with different intonations, etc. Regular practice will help you make your speech clear and beautiful pretty quickly.
