The Art of Public Speaking

I remembered when I was young, about 13 years old; I have begun to have interest in public speaking. When I was in school at that time, I took part in the school level speech competition. I liked to stand in front of my school teachers and my fellow students and spoke on my topic during the competition. Unfortunately, I totally cannot recall what my speech title was and what the content of my speech was.

Why I took part in speech competition?

When I was a kid, I watched a lot of television programs. Until now, I still do. I listened to news programs and other programs related to speeches and standup speaking programs. I was amazed of the response with clapping and shouting given by the audiences to the speakers. And the speakers eventually…….looked like became a famous figures. Maybe that was what influenced me to stand up and speak in front of people. With that, I decided to take part in the speech competition.

However, I did not do well and I did not win any prize. Of course, I was not disappointed because that was my first time spoke in front of so many people and I was panic as well. It was not because I did not prepare or practice, maybe it was the first time I stand up in the stage there and this made me panic with red face, butterflies flying around inside my stomach, sweating, heart keep on increase pumping, voice tone becoming unstable and sometimes out of tone etc.

Whatever happened, I was actually proud of myself. I was proud of myself because I was able to take my first step to do things that I wanted to do. I wanted to stand up and speak up in front of audiences and I did it. My public speaking experiences started from there and until today, my profession is related to speaking in front of people. I am now a Trainer.

It is not easy to be a trainer. I have learned a lot from my others trainers and coaches to sharpen up my skills in training and public speaking. One community that I joined to allow me to improve further is the Toastmasters.

Toastmaster is not about toasting with champagne, beer and wine. It is where we can improve by presenting speeches and received feedback of what area need to be improved from the evaluators. I have completed my first 10 project speeches as required as a Toastmasters member with Competent Communicator rank and I am now continue to enhance myself further with doing Advanced Communication project speeches.

I have read a lot of books and listened to a lot of audio books. With new technology nowadays, there are eBooks available as well to download from the Internet and read further for any self improvement and self development.

I have this eBook that is FREE for you to download. This book is about Public Speaking with the title “The Art of Public Speaking” by J. Berg Esenwein and Dale Carnegie.

Everyone can learn to stand up and speak well. However, practicing first before standing in front of your audiences is very important to get rid of your fear and nervousness. Public speaking is like an Art. I have done it and if you also wanted to be like me, read this eBook or attend any Toastmasters Club meeting or email to me at victor@victorwan.com and I will gladly share my experience with you.

Thank you.

  1. But posting some articles in my blog is just one of the steps to be done. Most importantly is to get people to read my articles and also visit my website or my blog. And the next very most importantly, is to allow people to find my articles or my website or my blog whenever they do a search using Internet search engine such as Google, Yahoo and MSN.
  2. When a person going to Google search engine and searched for some keywords such as “football”, “Public Speaking” etc., I hope that my website will always be in the first page of the searched results.

I could be in third or fourth page or maybe even in the last pages of millions of searched results. No one would want to go through all the lists page by page until he or she found the articles or my articles at the end of the lists. Most of them will likely go through the first or maybe second page of searched results only. So, it is difficult to get to the first page and hence, it is difficult to get people come to my blog to read my articles.
