Welcome.

Welcome welcome.

You've made it in this classes for anyone who wants to be a public speaker who is already doing work

in the field or someone that wants to break into the field and understand how to better articulate in

front of people and be for the manager of the boss the CEO that wants to be able to develop a strategy

on how to approach speaking to their audience you're going to learn this presentation how to present

with focus clarity and excellence.

So let's go.

Let's dive right in.

How to immediately capture your audience's attention how to immediately get their attention.

So if you're backstage the announcer calls your name.

You're walking on stage here and the applause is getting excited.

What are the first words that are going to come out of your mouth.

Talked in front of hundreds and thousands talked in front of few and many.

And one thing that is consistent with whoever I talk in front of whenever I'm able to speak in front

of people it's clear that I have to make sure that my tone communicates my passion people only receive

what you're passionate about so research was done and it shows that nowadays we don't even pay attention

to boring things like monotone sounds.

We don't even they don't phase us

I was laughing about being on the airplane some time ago traveling and I was on the airplane and a baby

was just crying and screaming and the mother was just sitting there as if it didn't matter to her at

all because she's like everybody else is like oh my gosh I can't take it.

But the mother was just like relaxed because teams that are not new to us.

Toes that are not exciting to us.

We kind of block them out.

We kind of forget about what we're hearing like that mom did with the baby.

Right.

We hear somebody talking in a monotone after a few minutes up here in that tone.

We're just like OK I'm done.

So firstly you need to do you need to make sure you're in alignment straight.

Your greatest tool as a public speaker is your voice every time you address an audience your mind your

body.

They must be in alignment with your voice.

It's like as acting as a partnership between you your voice your body when you're all working together

to communicate this idea this start this method.

This strategy we're all coming together to give you a presentation your listeners don't just hear your

voice but if your listeners are visual they are looking at your participation and see your emotions

your actions your ideologies based on how you smile or how you hold a stern face at a pivotal moment

in your presentation or how you escalate your vocal chords to it a sound that gets the attention of

everybody in the room every piece of your speech is interacting with all three parts and you have to

use it all to get your body your mind your voice must be aligned in one way because in certain parts

of your presentation you may just be giving information.

It might be an informational section an informational section you can jump into a section where you

are talking extemporaneously or from experience on how that information affects you personally.

And when you talk about what affects you personally it should change the tone.

It should change the atmosphere of the room because now you're not just giving information but now you're

telling them from personal experience what affected you

so you have to work on your tone.

We want to work on our tone.

This is one of the main things you want to do.

Do some tone lessons.

I would advise.

Record yourself giving a three minute to minute speech on any topic.

I tell you I will start talking about topics that interest me because that's how I know where I my tone

is and pick a topic that interests you.

Whether it's cars the Bible healthy eating whatever it is that interests you.

Whether it's a topic on marriage or on finances whatever interest you take two to three minutes and

record yourself talking about that topic.

Record yourself explaining what that topic means to you.

And then listen to the tones of your voice.

Hear what your excitement level sounds like when you're excited about a piece because understand this

one of your goals as a speaker should be to develop a voice that is let's go through these first pleasant.

Your voice has to be pleasant conveying a sense of warmth natural reflection your true personality and

sincerity.

You have to speak from the essence of you.

You have to speak from the bottom of your heart.

What are you talking about.

If it doesn't mean anything to you.

If you can't relate to the topic then your audience will never relate to the topic.

The only way I can relate to a topic is if I feel your desire or your passion or your love for or your

determination to influence.

Another one is the dynamics giving impressions of forces strength.

I'll give you an example when I'm not talking to a group of educated professionals.

Whenever I talk about their skill set I get excited.

I give strength to that because it's empowering to them and it should be because they go through a lot

to get what they've got.

So I'd take time to really push those points.

Hey guys listen.

You are educated professionals you're skilled craftsmen You are amazing women and men.

You're awesome at what you do I make sure they understand my passion for their excellence.

The next one is being expressive.

When you're portraying various shades of meaning that never never ever being monotone us all without

emotion always talking even when you're just giving information even when you're just saying a few words

never without emotion.

It always is bad with some form of emotion because no emotion from you means no attention from them.

Last but not least you must be easily heard every word that comes out of your mouth.

Has to be heard when speaking in large groups I always make sure my microphones are very very crisp

very strong.

I really work on my audio sounds because I start because I want to make sure they hear me.

But even more than that and we'll talk about that more in detail.

But even more than that it is clear that most people only pay attention to what they can hear the moment

they do not hear you you've lost their attention they'll try to get it for a second but after a while

the disconnect.

So you have to make sure you're properly set in your volumes and you have to make sure your articulation

of words is very clear.

I make sure even when I'm speaking in front of people I purposely speak slower in front of an audience

than I do face to face practice speaking slower with more intention in front of an audience than you

would with a one on one face to face.

Another point about your tone is your breath your breath produces your voice how you breathe produces

your voice so deep control breathing is necessary for good vocal production Your voice is supported

by a column of air.

Sometimes you get so excited you get up and you just get mad and what's that and you just get so that

you get into a part of your presentation.

It's really exciting I know trust me I know what those exciting moments feel like when you feel like

you're just knocking it out and you doing your thing and you're working at that speech but you have

to make sure even when you're doing that that you make sure you're breathing properly.

Think of the diaphragm as the foundation of your words breath comes out as an upward motion and it comes

out of your mouth.

And there we go.

It's like you're producing something great every time.
