Many people's first reaction to a speech is fear. There is a saying that the first thing that human beings are most afraid of is speaking in public, and the second thing is fear of death! Some people will tremble as soon as they stand on the platform, and even have physiological reactions such as dry mouth, stomachache, dizziness, chest tightness and blank brain.

Step 2 overcome indecent behavior

When many people stand on the stage to give a speech, there are always some involuntary gestures, such as shaking their legs, scratching their heads, pulling their hair, pulling their skirts, putting one or both hands in their pockets, and wandering their eyes. These indecent behaviors are really a great waste to the audience. These behaviors are usually unconscious, that is to say, the unconscious behavior of the speaker.

3. Look directly at the audience and lock your eyes.

Some people are afraid to look at the audience when giving a speech. They don't know where to look, either looking up at the sky or squinting around. In short, they lack eye contact with the audience. This will greatly affect the attraction and appeal of the speech content, and then reduce the efficiency of communication.

4. Consciously avoid "what you say"

Many people speak in spoken English, and the most common ones are "then", "later", "that" and "hmm ……". These words can't express any meaningful content in speech, but are conjunctions between sentences.

If used occasionally, it is natural and does not damage the coherence of the text. But once it becomes an unconscious "spoken language", it will appear frequently in the process of speech, which will greatly damage the image of the speaker and even make the audience feel bored.
