SSB INTERVIEW LECTURETTE - THE MOST IMPORTANT PUBLIC SPEAKING TECHNIQUE YOU WILL EVER LEARN

THE POWERFUL SPEECH MIGHT BE THE MOST IMPORTANT PUBLIC SPEAKING TECHNIQUE YOU WILL EVER LEARN.

You have heard the saying:
“First impressions are lasting; you never get a second chance to create a good first impression.”
The same is true when talking about how to start a speech…
The truth is, when you start your speech, you must focus everything on making a positive first impression on your audience members..
Many speakers are nervous when they stand up in front of an audience. As a result, they speak faster, with a higher pitch to their voices, and without pausing. When you are more relaxed, you speak more slowly, pause regularly, and have a much better tone of voice.

Must watch our GTO Tasks videos on youtube 



WAYS TO START A SPEECH


 1 - Start With a Positive Statement
You can begin by telling the audience members how much they will like and enjoy what you have to say.
For example, you might say:
“You’re really going to enjoy the time we spend together this morning/evening. I’m going to share with you some of the most important ideas that have ever been discovered in this area.”

2 - Compliment the Audience

You can begin by complimenting the audience members sincerely and with great respect.

3 - Start Your Speech By Referring to Current Events

Use a current event front-page news story to transition into your subject and to illustrate or prove your point.

4 - Refer to a Historical Event

For many years, I studied………

5 - Refer to a Well Known Person

You can start by quoting a well-known person or publication that recently made an important statement.

6 - Refer to a Recent Conversation

Start by telling a story about a recent conversation with someone in attendance.

7 - Make a Shocking Statement

You can start your talk by making a shocking statement of some kind.
For example, you might say something like:
“According to a recent study, there will be more change, more competition, and more opportunities…………..

8 - Quote From Recent Research

You can start by quoting a recent research report.

9 - Open With a Problem

You can start with a problem that must be solved. If it is a problem that almost everyone has in common, you will immediately have the audience’s complete and undivided attention.

TIPS TO END A SPEECH WITH A BANG


A good talk or public speech is like a good play, movie, or song.
It opens by arresting the listener’s attention, develops point by point, and then ends strongly.
The truth is, if you don’t know how to end a speech your key points may get lost.
The words you say at the beginning, and especially at the end of your talk, will be remembered longer than almost any other part of your speech.
Some of the great speeches in history have ended with powerful, stirring words that live on in memory.
How do you end a speech and get the standing ovation that you deserve?
Keep reading to discover how…
Here are 9 tips and examples for concluding a speech.

1 - Plan Your Closing Remarks Word for Word

To ensure that your conclusion is as powerful as it can be, you must plan it word for word.
Ask yourself, “What is the purpose of this talk?”

2 - Always End a Speech With a Call to Action

Here is a Speech Conclusion Call to Action Example

“We have great challenges and great opportunities, and with your help, we will meet them and make this next year the best year in our history!”
Whatever you say, imagine an exclamation point at the end. As you approach the conclusion, pick up your energy and tempo.
Speak with strength and emphasis.

3 - End a Speech With a Summary
There is a simple formula for any talk:
1.     Tell them what you are going to tell them.
2.     Tell them.
3.     Then, tell them what you told them.
As you approach the end of your talk, say something like,
“Let me briefly restate these main points…”
You then list your key points, one by one, and repeat them to the audience, showing how each of them links to the other points.
Audiences appreciate a linear repetition of what they have just heard.
This makes it clear that you are coming to the end of your talk.

4 - Close With Inspiration

You can end a speech with something inspirational as well.
If you have given an uplifting talk, remember that hope is, and has always been, the main religion of mankind.
People love to be motivated and inspired to be or do something different and better in the future.
Remember, everyone in your audience is dealing with problems, difficulties, challenges, disappointments, setbacks, and temporary failures.
For this reason, everyone appreciates a story or poem of encouragement that gives them strength and courage.

5 - Make it Clear That You’re Done

When you say your final words, it should be clear to everyone that you have ended. There should be no ambiguity or confusion in the mind of your audience. The audience members should know that this is the end.
Many speakers just allow their talks to wind down.
They say something like, “Well, that just about covers it. Thank you.”
This isn’t a good idea…
It’s not powerful…
It’s not an authoritative ending and thus detracts from your credibility and influence.
When you have concluded, discipline yourself to stand perfectly still. Select a friendly face in the audience and look straight at that person.
If it is appropriate, smile warmly at that person to signal that your speech has come to an end.
