Many visitors to this website are interested in public speaking.<\/p>\n
After all, human communication tends to be more oral than written.<\/p>\n
And this made me wonder: What are three recommendations that I would make to anyone who wants to improve his or her speaking skills?<\/p>\n
The answer? 1.<\/strong> Learn more! 2.<\/strong> Talk to yourself! 3.<\/strong> Talk to others!<\/p>\n 1. Learn more!<\/strong><\/p>\n “Learn more to earn more.” is a popular expression in America today. Given that your speaking skills often affect your earning ability, I recommend that you learn more in these three ways.<\/p>\n I recommend that you get public-speaking instruction to learn the basics.<\/p>\n I recommend that you improve your voice quality to make you a speaker who is more comfortable with his or her own voice and to be understood by a wider audience.<\/p>\n And I recommend that you learn a new word every day to make you a speaker with greater comfort with words and therefore a more relaxed speaker.<\/p>\n 2. Talk to yourself!<\/strong><\/p>\n Most people believe that those who talk to themselves are crazy, but talking to yourself can improve your speaking skills.<\/p>\n I recommend making videos of yourself speaking into a camera.<\/p>\n I recommend that you monitor your speech for “uhs” and “ums”.<\/p>\n And I recommend that you talk to yourself while learning a foreign language.<\/p>\n 3. Talk to others!<\/strong><\/p>\n Ultimately, talking is useless without listeners.<\/p>\n I recommend that you first pursue public speaking in a volunteer organization.<\/p>\n I recommend that you next pursue public speaking through a speaking club.<\/p>\n Finally, I recommend that you seek a job that requires you to speak regularly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Many visitors to this website are interested in public speaking.
