Addressing a gathering –tips to communicate on any subject - Part 3
Please read the Part 1 and Part 2 of this series to have a better understand of what we are discussing here. In case you are done, lets continue….
Oration becomes better with rehearsing often. So rehearse the talk preferably sonorously, particularly the start and end paragraphs. Rehearse your talk completely with all the illustrations. Continue rehearsing till the speech rolls along just like normal conversation and get habituated to your intonation.
A good workout prior to the talk will help smolder your tension, so it is best if you could do some strenuous physical activity prior to your talk. Kneading the muscles of the back, neck, shoulders etc places where you are likely to get a nervous spasm is good way to avoid tension. Inhale hard, move your feet, scream or do something that helps you relax. At a relaxed state your talk will be better.
Enter the hall and stride purposefully to the front and as you walk deliberate about the speech you are going to deliver, display an assured posture. On certain occasions beginning the talk prior to getting to the fore will get you the listener’s notice and will not create any tensed quiet when you get to the dais. Once on the podium, look around and make eye contact with a few members of the audience—you are sure to be flabbergasted when you notice the way their concentration and silence pervades the hall.
