The big day has arrived and you want some public speaking confidence. You’ve been introduced to the spectators and the topic of your speech has been declared. From this point on, youare the main focus of attention. You are on your own and all eyes are on you!

This is where you start your performance. It’s not only a question of getting into your speech as fast as practicable, but mentally preparing both yourself, and the fans too, for what you are about to impart.

A sense of the dramatic is named for.

It isn’t just a collection of words that you are going to be using ; like any performance it’ll involve the employment of movement, passion, eye contact, dramatic pause, and many other methods employed by actors each day of their working lives.

And this is where the performer in you must rise to the fore.

For some folks, this is the toughest part.

They aren’t ‘born actors’ and find that putting on a sense of the dramatic doesnot come naturally. The danger, too, is that by ‘trying too hard’ to be a performer they come across as ham actors lacking sincerity and thus losing credibility.

In this regard, everyone has to find out their own comfort sector and act in a style that’s both comfortable and sounds natural. Getting a close friend or companion to listen through and advise on how you are doing can be invaluable in this regard.

When your name is named, you want to look calm and collected, yet eager and excited that you’ve been honoured just by being asked to chat.

When your name is declared, you need to walk purposely onto the stage with your dignity intact, your shoulders back, a grin on your face.

You look round the crowd. You should wait for silence ; absolute silence so we can hear that self-evident pin dropping. Never be fearful of long silences.

They add drama. They heighten stress. And at the very start they add to the overall expectation of a star performance.

Now you have engaged the audience and you are building your public speaking confidence.
