Tips for Becoming a Public Speaker
Hi.
I'd love to know if you wanna be a brilliant public speaker, what
are the three
tips that you would give to me?
One of the most powerful things you can do is a process called record and review.
Simply record a five-minute video of yourself,
and you need to speak improvised.
Don't look at it straight away. You are too damn self-critical.
The next day, when you review this video, you review it in three different ways.
The first time you review it, turn the sound all the way up, press play,
turn your
phone down. Just listen. Audit the auditory component of
your voice, known as your vocal image. What do you like about it?
What don't you like about it? Second, grab the phone, turn the sound
off, press play, just look at yourself. How's your body language?
What's your facial expressions like? Do a visual audit of your visual image.
Third component, get the video transcribed.
Make sure you leave in the ums and the uhs and what's known as filler
words. Bring all your non-words and filler words to the forefront of your
mind. That's robbing you of clarity every time
you talk. Three things.
Do that once, you basically have a mirror in front of
you.
It's a very powerful routine.
