Some of the greatest speeches through history has actually changed the world. The reasons for this, among others, were how the speeches were performed. A memorable presentation is not just words coming out of your mouth - it is how you perform your speech. Body language, emotions, facial expressions, narratives and visual aids are all things which will contribute to the presentation and its outcome. Making a presentation works pretty much in the exact same way as making a speech. So this course - even though it is called Public speaking - can be used for making memorable and informative presentations. When your're giving a speech or making a presentation your goal is to make the audience convey and understand the message the way you intend. In this course we will take a look at all the parts that the presentation-building process is built up from. You will find the following chapters: 1. Audience analysis. This is where it all starts. You need to know what kind of audience you are giving your speech to in order to adapt the message. 2. The Purpose of the speech All speeches fall under three different categories: informative, entertaining and persuasive. They all have different speech patterns and work in different ways 3. Content In this chapter we will learn how to use emotions to engage the audience. The importance of clarity and using narratives are also discussed. In the end we talk about the speech outline - the blueprint- for your speech 4. Stage fright We discuss the symptoms, how to deal with it and what to do to easen the effect of it in the long run. 5. Non-verbal communication Giving a speech is more than just the words you're saying. It is also how you move yourself around on stage, how you use your facial expressions to show feelings. 6. Visual presentation Not all speeches needs a visual presentation, but many will be better with them. We give you the do's and don'ts when creating powerpoint-slides 7. Rehearsal For many of you out there, rehearsal is plain boring. But it is the most important (almost) part of the speech building process.
