Draw on both reason and emotion
Be reasonable and calm so that you
can appeal to the reason of those
whom you wish to persuade
Be emotional , so that you can move
to action from those who you wish to
move to action.
THINGS YOU SHOULDN’T DO Read directly from notes, except glancing at
Reading directly from screen, except the points
Turn back on audience
Slouch, hands in pocket
No um, ah, you know ..
No nervous gestures
Give any bad comments about your audience / insult
them
Talk too fast
Talk too quietly
Use stratum ; some cultures usually great people from
the highest class to the lower when opening of a
speech. Your audience are all the same.(so just make
your speech in english, so that you don’t have to
follow the custom culture ^^)
THINGS YOU SHOULD DO
Eye contact : starring at people,
there’ll be a relation/connection of
feeling that will arise.
Can glance at notes
Appropriate gestures
Speak about what you are
passionate about
Mind you language, tone and body
language.
A prompt is always good
Jokes are good – but don’t become a
joke.
Rhetorical questions to involve
audience
“marriage is a wonderful institution,
but who would want to live in an
institution?” (H.L Mencken)
Use a strong opening and a strong
closing.
Strong opening :
A story
A quote
A question
An interesting statistic
Strong Closing depends on your purpose
of speaking :
Tell your audience to do what you want
them to do clearly
Make an appealing expression
Say impressive and motivational words
“Great speakers aren’t born, they are trained”
