Free Public Speaking Tips | Public Speaking Tips Online | Presentation Skills Course

Here are a few free public speaking tips you can use right now in everyday situations:

1.  Use humor to diffuse a situation

Speech coaches will tell you to use humor in a speech to get the audience’s attention, but you can also use humor in a tense situation (as long as it is tasteful) to lighten the mood.  Most people are more open to your ideas when you come across as easy-going.

2.   Visualize your audience in their underwear

This is another one of the older public speaking tips, but it does work.  It doesn’t mean that you should picture your coworkers in their underwear – just realize that everyone in human; and you shouldn’t be intimidated by someone’s outward demeanor.  This is one of the free speaking tips that you can use to build confidence in yourself.

Good free public speaking tips

Tips on Public Speaking

Here are five great tips on public speaking:

1)      Stay focused on the topic at hand.

Be very clear about the topic you are going to address; and then make an outline that has the topic, the supporting points and the conclusion.  This is especially important if you have a limited time to get your point across.

2)      Use a sense of humor.

As long as it appropriate, everyone likes a little bit of a laugh when they are listening to a lecture or a presentation.  Humor helps to lighten the mood and also helps the speaker connect with the audience.  Humor can be a joke to open your speech, a light-hearted story, or a funny prop.
