WHAT IS THE ART OF PUBLIC SPEAKING?

To understand what is public speaking and the art of public speaking, we all should know the importance of voice. Voice is the most powerful communication tool that we all ever own and when we think about it. It's the most cost-effective way of achieving impact and influence and we don't even have to buy it we all own one and yet we were all born with a voice and we're all using it to create a life.

 

THE ART OF PUBLIC SPEAKING

Life doesn't really even exist without communication. We need to think about the art of public speaking and how to use voice because people don't know us and when they hear us they make judgments. They also add elements to the story that doesn't even exist.

The fact that we are all professional speakers, we are all public speakers and it's just time that we started realizing that we need to pay attention to the sounds that were coming out because most of the time we're disappointing our public

The art of public speaking consists of five variables that you can control when you speak. The pitch is how high or low, the pace how fast or how slow you normally speak, the tone whether you're airy or whether you're edgy, the volume is that loud or soft, and the melody.  These 5 speaking variables can change the way that people perceive every sound that comes out of their mouths.

  1. VOLUME We all need to start looking at the pitch. How loud do they speak because people are afraid to speak aloud? They think that if they speak loud, it's going to sound angry. But it's not true, as long as you add melody to it you could be as loud as you want. If you have a melody in it you'll never sound angry. Start experimenting with more volume  and that will actually make you a more influential speaker because volume by itself does not equal angel
  2. MELODY Get used to the melodies that you're using right now and realize that you're actually a piano. There are so many notes inside of your voice, you're a song waiting to be spoken, you need to start adding more melodies into your voice and if you don't have a melody you don't have engagement.
  3. PACE How fast the pace of the voice, how fast or slow are you speaking. Most people have a set pace that they've sort of gotten into and they just stay at that pace the whole time. But it is so boring.
  4. PITCH Where is your voice normally sitting.
  5. TONE Tone is how airy or soft you get. We've become a world of whispers thinking that if I had more air in my voice it would show that I care so much more.  True that it sometimes works in the bedroom but it doesn't work in the boardroom and it doesn't work to showcase strength and power and charisma because an airy voice just kind of disappears and makes you sound weak so you're sitting in a boardroom and you're airy thinking that your people will listen to you because you care more, but they didn't listen to you because it was just dissipated in the air.

 

SECRET OF A GREAT SPEAKER

The greatest secret that the best voices in the world know is that they can move people from emotion to emotion. Their job isn't just to create one emotion. A great speaker literally moves you from happy one second to sad one second to excited another second and when you realize as a speaker that you have that kind of influence over people that you can showcase your own emotions and move the people who hear you through a myriad of emotions. So a great speaker is at the end of a conversation if it's a one-line joke or it's a 45-minute talk that they've taken the listeners through multiple emotions.

How many emotions can make people feel. That's the secret to being a great speaker.


CONCLUSION

Pitch, Pace, Tone, Melody, and Volume that's what people need to be thinking about to improve public speaking and they can literally do exactly with those variables by recording themselves and listening back and then keep doing that.
