How to improve my speech skills?

Are you looking for an easy way to improve your speech skills especially on public speaking? Don't worry I got you covered.

Public speaking might look like a monster for a lot a people but in fact it isn't. The first thing that you need to do is breath , yes breath, did you know the existence of abdominal breathing? It is actually our natural way of breathing and it will help keeping your stress down and sustain you during long sentences without breathing break. The second thing that you need to be aware of is your posture , sometimes we don't have conscious about our body and that is a big mistake. You don't need to be confident you just need to look like you're confident. Let's start with the base "the momentum". The momentum is the fist thing that you learn , in a neutral pose with your legs open and your eyes on the horizon. Now look directly in your audience eyes and if you have cameras also talk to them because their future audience. You can start using your hands now but be precise with your gestures , and if you are ready you can start walking on your stage (yes it is your stage because you are dominated it now) but don't forget your posture , you need to be a walking momentum with movement and expression. You already know how to breath and walk , it's time for you to learn how to talk.Do you want to be heard? Yes? Let's project your beautiful voice. To project your voce you need to imagine that you are producing sound for behind you. Most of people tent to force their voice to go to the front and that's a big no no. Why? First you're forcing your vocal cords and that's not good , second you will get tired and your throat will start to get dry , then your resonance point would be totally off because you should be using your chest to get stronger and your not! And at last you will be going way to "exalare" which means waisting air. Now you're thinking, what is exalare? Exalare is the exact opposite of inalare , have you heard about inalare da voce? Inalare la voce is Italian for inhale the voice and it's a technic that not only improves your singing and talking abilities but also helps holding on the air for way longer. See? It's not that hard. Now that you have the technique lets go straight to level two. Are you ready?

Okay , in this level we need to know our audience and some way of getting their attention , are you with me? In my point of view the first thing that you need to do is have the right amount of energy during your speech because if you look bored , you talk in slow-motion and use way to complex words people will start to get tired from you and will disconnect from your speech , in the other hand if you are running around and spinning , doing cartwheels , jumping around people will not be able to focus and might think that you are completely crazy. The right thing to do is to keep going in the middle . You need to be energetic (but not flash) , you need to have a diverse tone (but no need to sing) , you can even tell something funny or a little joke (but not way too much because you are nor Fernando Rocha). One way to keep your audience focus on you is to ask questions , they could be rhetorical , but every single person in the room needs to feel included , needs to feel like your whole speech was totally dedicated to him\she. They need to feel special so you could feel special too because you were able to include everyone.

The last topic that you need to look is motivation, do you really like that topic that you choose? People can see the shine on you're eyes when you are talking about something that you truly love , something that haves a meaning to you , something that is like a tattoo of your heart. If you are just reading a mean less power point people will feel the cold. Even if you are doing something that you are not familiar with or something that you don't like that much , its mandatory for you to find a little tiny spot of love and make it bigger , and make it important so people can look at you and feel the passion. Working is also a relationship , in this case is not between two people , is between someone and a topic so in this case you need to take care of your topic because if there is no flame in your relationship there will be no flame during the final presentation. Love is a key word for life.

If you are a great actor or actress you can probably fake your confidence and love for the job very easily but if you're not you can always think like this is just a game and you are "pretending" like we used to do when we were kids. Be creative with your own tricks because we are not machines that work in a perfect way when programed to do a certain task. We are people and we are all different , just try until you make it , practice in the mirror or in front of you pet. Be yourself and everything will turn out just fine , sit back , relax and enjoy your life because it won't last forever and a day.
