You Can Live Better

Here’s some great tips for public speaking and using your voice.

To use the voice to best effect in a presentation involves us having to put a great amount of effort into the way we manipulate it. So how does one best use your voice?

1. Adding some confidence. If our audience doesn’t believe in us, then why will they bother giving us the time of day, not to mention sit thru our presentation?

2. Conviction in what we are saying is also key. Putting across our keenness, despite the undeniable fact that we are truly convinced in our own debate, may cause our audience to doubt us and put question marks over what we have got to say.

3. Enthusiasm, too, is critical. If we are confident and are convinced in our own debates, then highlylikely we may also come across as enthused. Being enthusiastic is also infectious. If we sound all fired up by what we are saying, the chances are we are going to have an easier ’sell in’ of our ideas than if we appear not so turned on by the topic matter in hand.

4. Our integrity is also something that must never be brought into question. If we try and bluff our way thru a sticky patch, we are able to be certain the audience will almost certainly catch us out with the result that nearly the rest we are saying may also be challenged.

5. Of course, if we can show wehave a widespread grasp of the topic in hand by being able to show off our data, then that too is very important, though not always necessary. Or is it? Broadcasters most frequently talk about a subject with which they are not very familiar. Of course , not every broadcaster can be well versed in each subject. But the indisputable fact that they have done their research completely gives them the wherewithal to ask searching questions of their interviewees and, as such, shows them to be ‘instant gurus’!

Ultimately, having a good voice is actually a valuable asset, but is not really necessary to a good display. Few are graced with really beautiful voices, but there are thousands more who are good presenters.

Make sure you add using your voice and enhance your public speaking confidence.
