Public speaking is one of the more scary undertakings for the average person. In fact, a recent survey showed the fear of public speaking was the number one fear of those polled. Number two was the fear of dying! But if you prepare and practice, you can put yourself in the position of being able to do what many won't. This can lead to a promotion at work or notice by others in a position to offer you other opportunities. And you might even find that you have fun doing it. Here are a few things to help you become good at public speaking.

  1. Prepare your presentation in advance. One of the reasons people fear public speaking is that they fear being humiliated by forgetting what they were going to say or saying the wrong thing. Preparation is the key to eliminating this problem. Research your topic, make yourself notes, try to ascertain areas that might create questions, and find those answers before you set foot in front of anyone. Know your topic inside and out. Become the expert.

  2. Practice, practice, practice. Just because you have been speaking since you were two years old doesn't mean you don't need to practice speaking before an audience. Actors rehearse their parts to the point of becoming those characters for a time. Professional athletes practice their sport many hours each week in order to perfect their skills, and to be able to respond to whatever challenge is thrown at them seemingly from instinct. It becomes second nature. So too, must you practice or rehearse if you want to be good. Start slowly, giving your presentation to a friend, a family member, even to your dog. It's the repetition that causes you to improve. They may also coach you on developing an approachable and pleasant appearance. When your presentation is second nature to you, when your topic is as familiar to you as your old bathrobe, you will feel comfortable sharing it with your audience. It's that ease and comfort that allows you to relax and to perform at your best.
