Public Speaking Tips: Extremely Small Customizations

When speaking to a very small group of people you should be able to include an extremely large amount of customization. You should have researched the group and done your normal homework including phone interviews with the expected attendees (if it is a public event and you don't know who is coming, be set up way early so you can greet and interview people as they arrive.) Jot down a note of why each person attended. Then, when a section of your talk applies to them, point it out and name them by name.

Example: "John, you told me you wanted to learn how to sell more to the people that visit your website. This section specifically addresses that, especially the part about the psychology of the sale."

Don't assume that people will perk up when you come to the part that specifically applies to them. Make a big deal to point it out to them. You will be adding an extreme amount of value which makes them realize that it was a good thing they attended. Oh and don't forget they'll love you for it.

Public Speaking Tip: Microphone Tips

MICROPHONE TIPS by Susan Berkley

If you are speaking in any venue that is larger than an average sized classroom or conference room, I strongly suggest using a microphone to prevent vocal strain. There are two types of microphones you are likely to encounter. The first is a lavaliere mic that clips to your lapel or collar. This type of microphone usually has a battery pack, which you attach to your waistband, allowing you to move about freely. When wearing a lavaliere, speak conversationally with the same amount of volume and vocal projection you would use to address a small group. The amplifier will do the rest. Make sure you turn your mic off when you are not on the platform to avoid sharing private comments with the rest of the audience.

The second type of microphone is hand held or fixed to a stand or podium. With this type of microphone, popping can be a problem. Popping is caused when "plosives" like 'p','t', and 'd' arespoken and the air from your mouth hits the mic. To prevent popping, position the mic about a hands width away and slightly below your mouth so that the air from your mouth does not hit the microphone. Speaking above the mic will also help prevent nasal noise. Keeping the mic about a hands width away from your mouth will also help prevent a "boom-y" sound.

Public Speaking Tip: More on CD ROM Backups of Your Program

MORE ON CD ROM BACKUPS OF YOUR PROGRAM

I got a note back after the last issue that talked about doublechecking your backups to make sure they work
[ http://www.antion.com/ezinebackissues2003.htm v5n1]

Here it is:

Hi Tom: One last thought on backing up your presentation on to CDROM. I did a speaking gig this week in Vegas and had to use my backup presentation on CDROM. Low and behold, when I opened the presentation it was barely readable!

It turns out that I had used a non-standard font (balloon), which was not installed on the conference's emergency laptop. So... word to the wise, put any unique font files on your backup CD as well.

Tom says you might also limit yourself to standard fonts.

Public Speaking Tips: Take a Peek

by Tom Antion

I usually have notes hidden around the stage, but the audience never knows that I'm looking at them.

I look at my notes that are lying flat on my table when

1. The audience is laughing
2. When I'm pushing buttons on my laptop
3. When I walk past the table looking down and holding my chin as if I'm thinking.
4. When I go to the table to pick up a prop or piece of paper.
5. When the audience is watching short videos on the screen.

Some people tape their notes to the floor when they are on a raised stage, but I don't like that because you have to look down too often for no apparent reason.

Another good trick is to lightly pencil in notes to yourself on the edge of flip chart pages. The audience can't see them, but you can when you are near the flipchart.

There are specific techniques used to practice that don't take much time and make you look extremely polished. One of these techniques is called bits.

Public Speaking Tips: Sensitive Audience Members

If you are planning to do a lively presentation that involves the audience members, you must be careful of what you say at the beginning of your speech.

Some audience members would rather have you sit down so they could be the star on stage, but others dread the thought of even being noticed while they are sitting in the audience.

Here is a critical phrase you can adapt and say during the beginning of your presentation to help the sensitive members of the audience relax and pay attention to your content.

"We're going to have lots of fun and interaction today, but don't worry. You won't be put on the spot to do anything you don't want to do."

That simple phrase will help all of your audience members enjoy your presentation without anxiety.
=========================
From Great Speaking E-Zine: http://www.antion.com/ezine/v5n8.txt
about the problems erasing Dry Erase Boards when the ink has dried for a long time.

Readers Mary Roth and Fugi Saito both quickly responded with this tip. Scribble over the old writing with a marker. This re-moistens the old writing which will now erase easily with your dry board eraser.
