How To Be Good At Public Speaking? Tips For Effective Communication Skills

Having good speaking skills is vital to one’s success. It is necessary to build connections both at work and in life. Being shy in public and not expressing your thoughts is pretty normal. Since we spend a good chunk of our time online, most of our communication takes place in the virtual world, increasing our social anxiety. You do not have to worry. PlanetSpark has come up with some expert tips for mastering public speaking and communication skills.

Planet Spark's tips to hone your skills in public speaking 

A confident person

  1. Practise the art of public speaking to become a master

Practice is essential in almost every aspect of life. For instance, think of your favourite artist who might be an actor, dancer, performer, singer, or instrumentalist. The one thing that is common in each of them is that they practise and then practise more. 

If you want to gain expertise in the art of public speaking, you need to be consistent with your practice. Once you've prepared yourself for the battle, practise your speech as many times as possible. It will help you overcome stage fear, and you will not feel anxious while speaking in public. 

With the communication skills course at PlanetSpark, your child will get personalised training to sharpen their communication skills. We aim to deliver practical training to students from an early age to make them future orators.

  1. Use gestures and voice modulation

Using gestures while giving a speech helps emphasise the essential points. However, remember not to overdo it because it might distract the audience altogether, and they will miss the power of your speech. Your hands can be effective tools in communicating your ideas if appropriately used. 

Similarly, voice modulation plays an essential part while giving a speech. The audience will only understand you when the voice is clear and confident. Voice modulation is an integral part of the curriculum at PlanetSpark, considering its importance.

Students receive adequate training to polish their communication skills and better tone perfection to convey their ideas successfully to the audience. Your child will get an active learning experience with exciting games and powerful technology to become the next great public speaker and orator. Students will learn techniques of emphasis and subordination, change of pitch and pace, inflexion, among other crucial things to sharpen their communication skills.

  1. Engage your audience with humour and storytelling

Humour makes your content more engaging. The audience will develop a bond with you if your speech contains a pinch of humour in it. If you can make people laugh at your joke, it shows that they are listening to you. It will boost your energy and confidence, and you'll present your ideas more effectively. Retaining your audience's attention not only depends on the material of your speech but also on how you deliver your thoughts and ideas.

Public speaking is vital irrespective of one's career choice. Our expert educators give students individualised attention to record their progress and understand their weak points to work on. This also helps the students to have unhesitant discussions with teachers to clear all their doubts. At Planetspark, your child will learn the art of storytelling, active listening, and daily conversational skills, among many other things for effective communication.

  1. Know your audience

To engage and influence the audience, you need to know who you are presenting your thoughts and ideas. If your material is too complex to understand or too easy to provide any valuable information to them, your speech will not be successful. 

The speech is not for you but for them. Remember this while preparing your material. The curriculum of Planetspark has incorporated activities to prepare young learners how to deal with novel situations. 

Our expert educators teach them situation-based conversation and the use of emotions while communicating so that the learners become ready to deal with unexpected circumstances with great confidence. At Planetspark, students develop their cognitive abilities to solve problems themselves and respond to different situations effectively. Start the course now!

  1. Your body language is just as crucial as your speaking skills

Non-verbal behaviours are also essential to present yourself confidently. Your body movements, expressions, and manners help you build connections with people. The audience understands better when you use hand gestures and facial expressions to explain what you are saying. 

As listeners, we pay maximum attention to body movements and the tone; even more than the actual content. Our brains function that way quite naturally. So, it is important to carefully work on body language to become influencers and powerful orators. Planetspark helps in a child’s overall development from an early age. The curriculum is planned to include every essential aspect that contributes to honing a child's communication skills.

Make sure to include these tips in your daily lives and practise them consistently to overcome anxiety and fear of public speaking and achieve excellent communication skills.
