Instruction for Speakers
Instill confidence in students
The half of the battle for speech success is conquering one's fears. Fear can stop a potential speaker from speaking before even one word has been spoken. Fear can come from speakers' lack confidence or the merits of their words to fear that the speaker might draw from the person or people they are speaking to at the moment. This course is intended to instill confidence in learners. It teaches them how to manage themselves in front others using their own merits and work.
Learners can create a connection with their audience.
It is hard to overstate the importance of a human name or face in helping a speaker communicate their message better to others. Creating a rapport between speaker and audience can also make them more open to your speech. These attributes make the words and activity more powerful and resonate more. This course will help learners personalize their speech by using their personal attributes to communicate their thoughts and emotions more effectively.
Use the voice of the learner effectively
The speaker's voice is one of the most important, but often overlooked aspects of speech. The voice of a speaker can be used to enhance the meaning of their words, add energy, color and other aspects. Inflection can drastically change the meaning and sometimes even alter the words for listeners. A significant increase or decrease in the power of a statement can be achieved by adding volume to one's voice and power to certain words within a sentence. The color of a speech can affect emotions and increase the power of a speaker's words. These and other factors make the learner’s voice an important tool in their arsenal. This course will teach learners correct and effective usage.
Encourage efficiency, retention, cohesion, and consistency in speech
The speaker's ability and focus to speak on one topic is a major challenge. It is easy to lose focus when faced with a large audience. This could be due to thoughts generated by an audience or background events that may distract the speaker from performing their task. It also leads to the many stammered "ums" and "ahs” found in regular speech, which most people use as a way to keep the audience's attention.
This course will teach you techniques and methods that enable speakers to stay on the topic and make their points in the most efficient way possible. It also helps speakers keep their composure and attention when speaking in environments or settings that could easily distract or draw attention away from their activity.
