Using it with awareness and skill is essential to your credibility and persuasiveness as a speaker.

Ultimately, this type of speaking is more about the speaker than the audience. If you're going to go ahead and speak, commit to the moment, and let nothing stand between you and your audience. Speaking often is great, but not if you're already mentally out of town when you speak.

They pay attention to visual cues, to the movement of the face, especially the lips, as a person speaks. Watching a dubbed film, for example, presents a problem to most viewers at first because they cannot reconcile the sounds they are hearing with the shapes of the mouths speaking the film’s original language. It’s called the McGurk effect. SPEAKING UP. What does the McGurk effect mean to you as a presenter? => [link].

Speaking is not presenting. Even if you don't speak for a living there are many who believe that effective speaking is a flashy slide show. When you're more relaxed, speaking comes easier. Most workers need to speak, at one time or another, and speak far more, in more ways, and more often, than top executives. If you speak in live meetings, conference calls, webinars , or are interviewed on radio or TV, you are a speaker.

Enthusiasm is a necessary qualification for effective speaking. For public speaking, the enthusiasm required, as described by Coleman Cox, “is inspired by reason, controlled by caution, sound in theory, and practical in application, reflects confidence, spreads good cheer, raises morale, inspires associates, arouses loyalty and laughs at adversity.&#. Kennedy’s speaking success was the enthusiasm he displayed when delivering his speech.

Before you speak, take a brisk walk, or do some jumping jacks! Warm up before you speak…or you’ll warm up as you begin your speech. A large gap between the first row of audience members and the platform on which you speak is not good. When you speak outdoors, energy is sucked up to the sky. Likewise, speaking in a room with a very high ceiling, like an over-sized ballroom or warehouse, has the same energy draining effect.

Part of the answer is because their structure provides listeners with implicit instructions that enable them to anticipate exactly when the speaker will finish - so that they can be ready to respond as soon as he/she gets to the end (in much the same way as we're able to know when to respond in a conversation without interrupting or leaving a potentially embarrassing silence before we start to speak).

When teaching and writing about the effectiveness of different types of visual aid, one that I always recommend for getting a positive response from audiences is the use of an object or prop to get your point across. If you've seen Ann Brennan's speech (4th video clip in Claptrap 1 ), you might have noticed that the audience laughed and applauded when she held up a copy of the paper on equality that she was speaking about.
