29、Efficient ways to improve your speech
Find it difficult to make a wonderful speech in public? 【1】
Use more facial expressions
One psychologist feels that our facial expression is responsible more than anything else for the impression others have of us. A smile in which the eyes participate is extremely communicative. 【2】 People tend to mirror your expression, so try to show how you feel about a topic or an idea through your facial expression.
Get rid of your inner fear
【3】 The way to handle it is to put it to work for you, get into action, as Shakespeare observed, action cures fear. The first is to admit it. Do the thing you fear and it will be the death of fear itself. Another simple aid at the last minute before you begin, is to take a few deep breaths. This will help get the butterflies in formation and also keep your voice under control.
Polish your voice
Our voice is the main instrument we possess for communicating with people. So invest in a tape recorder, practice your speech by speaking it into the microphone and then listen to it. You can even have others join in the evaluation of your strong points and your weaknesses or faults as well. Simply reading a newspaper, a magazine or stories to your children out loud can help. 【4】
Strengthen your memory
Psychologists tell us that most individuals don’t use above ten percent of their inherent capacity for memory. How to enhance the power of memory? First, have a burning desire to remember. It’s difficult to recall anything without wanting to do so. 【5】 Our success depends greatly on our ability to concentrate.
