The first impression given to others during a speech is very important. A person who is relaxed during a speech and a person who is nervous during a speech give the public a completely different impression, so we should relax on the one hand and not be overly nervous on the other.

Excessive tension will not only show awkward and stiff posture, but also have a bad influence on our lip-to-lip coordination.

Teach you a little trick: keep your feet shoulder-width apart and stabilize your whole body.

Another trick is to find ways to disperse and reduce the tension exerted on the body. For example, put a hand gently into your pocket, or touch the table, or hold a microphone.

Dull eloquence: five points for attention in speech

2. Presentation slide basis: 10-20-30 principle

This is a famous venture capitalist in the Bay Area, and also a passionate, wise and humorous speaker. The principle of slide production and presentation is that a PPT file cannot exceed 10 slides, the total length of the presentation cannot exceed 20 minutes, and the font of slides should be greater than 30.

He said that whether your idea can subvert the world or not, you should convey its essence to the audience with fewer slides and refined language in a limited time.

3. Be good at using your own eyes in your speech.

All roads lead to the same goal. As we all know, in sales, we can't concentrate all our attention on the decision-maker, because secretaries and assistants also influence the boss's decision-making to a certain extent. What's more, always paying attention to one person will make another person feel uncomfortable.

4. Never look at the slides when giving a speech.

Many people think that they can speak without the script, but in fact they often look back at the screen.

Moreover, watching slides will only interrupt your speech ideas and indirectly tell the audience that you don't understand what you want to say at all, thus losing confidence and interest in your speech.

5. In your speech, your facial expression will determine whether you are rigid or not.

The facial expressions in a speech, whether good or bad, will leave a deep impression on the audience. Tension, fatigue, joy, anxiety and other emotions are clearly displayed on my face, which is beyond my control. No matter how wonderful the speech is, if the expression is always insecure and hesitant, the speech will easily become unconvincing.

The first way to control your face is "don't bow your head." Once a person "hangs his head", he will feel "depressed" and his eyes can't contact the audience, so it is difficult to attract the attention of the audience.

Another way is to "speak slowly". Once you speak slowly, your mood will be stable, your facial expression will relax, and your whole body will stand still for it.
