So you’re interested in public speaking or you would like to become more proficient with your speaking.  Well, that is why we designed this site to assist you with those needs. If your looking for tips on public speaking there is no better place to find them than here. A lot of us are interested in mastering the art of being and becoming a master of public speaking or speaking in public at a variety of formal and social events. This interest is increasing in recent years and people hone, harness and refine their skills.  Engaging, shaping and influencing audiences all around, is what is at stake here. Sounding confident, convincing and speaking with energized speech is paramount, regardless of the context. For business, social and public life, it is a core skill and almost an entry-level prerequisite these days to be deemed ‘successful’. If you have interest in improving your public speaking, then this is the ultimate site for tips on public speaking.

We will add information that encourages and recommends certain things, practice and actions, rather than a theoretical analysis of what it is and why it works. It is a comprehensive hands-on, site to use to enable you to make some of the changes and improvements yourself. As you progress, you will discover your own inner strengths as well as the areas that you would want to develop over time.

Variety is the spice of life and we suggest lots of it. Vary your daily 15-minute routines and shuffle the exercises around to custom-fit your individual, personal needs and requirements. All areas and aspects can do with some focused and targeted practice. Give close attention to areas like: deep breathing, voice and sound articulation and the use of your voice or instrument.

Up to 45 minutes daily can be dedicated to verbal expression exercises, projection and practice out loud.
For the first week, new habits take time to form and establish themselves, so we suggest starting off by deep breathing exercises. This will help you relax and also become aware of your voice and activity, what makes you nervous and so on. Only practicing inhaling and exhaling deeply repeatedly for about five minutes every day is all it will take! Breathing from deep within you will become second nature before you know it. You can do it as you go along your daily business and execute your tasks and routines in and around the house and office. Ensure that you are relaxed and keep your mouth closed at al times when doing these deep-breathing exercises. Take on a new breathing exercise every week and you will soon start reaping the rewards of more controlled breathing and this is a wonderful calming technique if you are a nervous speaker.

If you are focusing in on the area of sounds and articulation, then a set of syllables will be the logical starting point. A variety of combinations in different sequences will help you out here. First focus on getting the list right and then speed things up a bit. See how fast you can go, improving both speed and accuracy as you go along. Again they will become almost automatic before you know it. You will remember them better and have instant recall after a while.  You will have a nimble and able verbal and vocal tool and utility at your disposal before you know it! Responsive, flexibility will enable you to speak faster and better, with more confidence, moving your lips, palate and tongue with much more ease and satisfaction.

Discovering and honing the character of your voice will typically take a little longer. Still try and stick to one exercise in this category each and every day.

You will be done and well on you’re way with this development path of yours in about seven weeks.  In order for you to cover all these areas and aspects some time and committed effort over the next 49-50 days will be required. Do you have what it takes? Well the milestones and review at the 50-day mark will speak for themselves. Time will tell. Our best and only advice:  practice, practice, and practice!

Non-verbal cues and the use of gestures can be an immensely powerful tool to have in your arsenal. Gradually over time you will be able to practice these every day for a few minutes in front of a mirror. You have to ‘retrain’ yourself to an extent to make your movements more natural and less distracting. More subtle movements, almost without thinking will complement what you are saying and not have your audience wondering or distracted by your gestures and movement. Ensure that you look at some of the instructions in the exercises specifically and follow them step-by-step and exactly as they are laid out and described here for the ultimate result.

We hope you enjoy the site and look forward to providing you with excellent tips on public speaking.
