Pretty speeches change the world. Is there something instinctive about mankind to follow a strong, authoritative voice? There surely must be, because a dynamite speaker is capable of persuading masses of people into doing anything. Ask yourself, if the best orators of our time are capable of influencing millions of people to give the ultimate sacrifice and go to war, what does this say about the power of the spoken word?
You may not have any interest in politics but you can still incorporate public speaking into your chosen career path. A dynamite speaker is capable of rallying crowds to take action, of making massive profit and perhaps even capable of bringing about a major change in society. What can you do to cultivate this gift–this powder keg of potential when it comes to influencing others?
Obviously, the most important factors in public speaking are volume and enthusiasm. Many public speakers fail to inspire a crowd because they dryly summarize information. They put no volume into their words. As a dynamite speaker you will emphasize powerful words in your speech with higher volume and greater sense stress.
It??™s best to be enthusiastic about your material rather than force yourself to be animated. Speak on subjects that you research well and feel strongly about; this well allow you to be more passionate on the subject which will make your disposition appear more natural. This passion allows you to gesture naturally and to alter the pitch of your voice and the pacing of your sentences accordingly.
Think about how this information helps your audience and talk to them like you were talking to someone you truly care about. Unless the audience senses this warmth and feeling in your voice, they will be resistant to whatever plausible ideas you present. Dynamite speakers have deep inner-confidence, which allows them to read their audience and respond according to what they see. If they sense tension in the air they tell a joke and create a jovial atmosphere. If they sense confusion then they elaborate on the more complicated points.
Learning your audience involves looking to individual faces in the crowd and carrying on a conversation with one person. Then after a few moments go by, you look into the face of another person, still carrying on a meaningful conversation. The audience will sense your confidence, your personable nature, your charisma and respond very well.
One of the best techniques in giving a public speech is to pause when you first take the stage. Many speakers are so nervous during those first few moments that they rush through their pertinent introduction. Always pause during the first few moments of your speech in order to breathe, to gather your wits, and to look into the faces of your audience. This immediately sets a commanding tone and alerts your listeners to pay attention. After this slow ???burning??? the dynamite sets in??”your strong voice, your warm disposition and your natural enthusiasm will then deliver one explosive speech, capable of igniting everyone in the room to action.
