5 tips on how to become a better public speaker

Have you ever stressed out for days before you have to present in front of a class?

My name is Leo Brock, and I have struggled with all of these and many more. Over the last 2018-2019 school year, I have become a lot more confident with my public speaking.

Here are some tips for you to become a better public speaker!

1)Volunteer FIRST.

When the teacher asks if anyone wants to volunteer, go for it. There are absolutely no downsides to it when you look further into volunteering.

If you volunteer to go first, it impresses your teacher, you can get it over with right away, and there is nothing before you for your classmates and teacher to base your presentation on. You’ll be completely original.

2) Scan the walls

Alright, you managed to get in front of the class…you’re presenting…what do you do with those lovely big eyes of yours?

3)Speak with your hands

What I’ve always had the most trouble with is not knowing what to do with my hands.

Stick it.

Now… those feet of yours. When you go up in front of the class. Find a spot and STAY THERE. Don’t move your feet.

5) You made it.

The biggest key to a presentation is being confident. Even if what you’re presenting isn’t that good, just think that you volunteered to go up in front of the class and followed the last 4 steps perfectly.

I very much hope these tips have helped you, they have most certainly helped me.
