Transcript Fred Miller, “NO SWEAT Public Speaking!”
Here’s this week’s post.
If you want to become a better speaker, these are my two best tips: 1. Practice – Practice – Practice. 2. Speak – Speak – Speak.
And here’s a wonderful practice tip. I got it from Mark Brown. Mark Brown won the 1995 Toastmasters World Championship Speech Contest. It’s a great tip!
Video! What I’m doing right here!
Get an iPad or your computer and make a video of your presentation.
Now, here’s the best part of Mark’s tip. The First Time you use that video, turn off the sound. Just watch. Nonverbal communication trumps verbal. We believe what we see.
The Second Time you use it, either turn the iPad around or turn your back and just listen. You will hear things that you would’ve heard if you were watching. Maybe some ahs, errs (smack, smack, smack). Things like that. Filler words, distractions.
Third Time – watch and listen! You will see and hear what the audience sees and hears.
But, there’s a Fourth Thing to do.
Get someone to watch and listen with you. We all have blind spots. We can’t see and hear everything the audience will see and hear. Get their advice.
And then, repeat. Take that great advice – do the video, again. Practice – Practice – Practice. Video it. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
This stuff works!
