Public Speaking

What is Public Speaking?

Is an important method for communicating knowledge and ideas; speaking means to talk; to communicate one's emotions or thoughts by being able to use and use a language.

Public speaking involves two things:

1.Skills; of effective presenting; use of teaching aids, use of voice, structure and so on. 2. Self-management; the ability to remain calm and composed in front of an audience.

We use speaking for:

Talking to friends

Talking to family

Talking on the phone

Job interview

Asking for a date

Class-room presentation

And much more things that are essential in a personal life.

Speaking can be:

Persuasive; influence the judgment or the feelings of people. Informational; inform about something, usually using facts and visuals. Educational; share the skills or knowledge one knows into others. Etc...

Is feeling nervous or anxious before giving a speech natural and healthy?

Yes because it shows you care about doing well. But, too much nervousness can be harmful. A little nervousness will raise energy levels and make for a more focused, dynamic speech. An overlaid-back speaker can easily bore! So we don't want too much anxiety and we don't want too much relaxation.
