Practice

It makes perfect! Make your speaking skills perfectly effective by practicing. You can do so by reading news and dialogues aloud. You can also read speeches. When you practice by reading aloud, also practice having guts, making eye contact, the proper use of gestures, being clear and firm, being positive, proper pace, appropriate volume of voice and listening to others.

Guts

Develop your self-confidence. Guts is necessary in doing anything that involves fear. In speaking, people have fear of the stage or the spotlight. They are afraid that they will commit mistakes and others will criticise them. With enough practice, the next step is to have the guts to apply what you have practice.

Eye Contact

When you talk, you should make eye contact with your audience whether they are a hundred, a dozen or only one person you are conversing with. You know you are still in contact with your audience when you are looking at their eyes and see that they are also looking at you, more especially to your eyes also.

Gestures

Use appropriate gestures while talking to one person, a small group or a large one. When having a conversation with a person, you can lean a little bit forward. For a small group, you can turn your head to the one talking. For a large audience, you should stand properly in the middle of the stage or behind the podium. Most formal speeches do not call for you as the speaker to walk around on top of the stage.

Firm is Clear

Be firm when standing up and making a stand in discussions or forums. When you are firm on your answer, you can talk in a clear voice and with a more suitable choice of words.

Positivity

Always aim for a positive approach and voice. Audience, listeners or the others you are talking to does not want to be infected with any negativity that you have as a speaker.

Listen Well

In speaking, listening to others is important. Communication is two-way. You may be the speaker but the audience or others in a discussion group also has something to say, especially with what you are talking about. You have to listen so that you can answer their questions or defend your point well.

Develop Your Voice

Develop your voice so that it will be at least decent to hear. Make the appropriate volume and speak slow enough that listeners can catch up and fast enough that they will not be bored or annoyed. Developing voice is one important part of developing effective communicators.

“You” Approach

When talking to a big audience, a small group or conversing with one person, aim to give more content and substance about them. Your true goal is for them to listen to you and what you truly want to discuss is about what you want to achieve. However, to be successful in doing this, you need to be interested in the other persons you are talking with. Showing them that you are interested in them will make them listen to you.
