IF YOU ARE AT EARLY STAGES OF PUBLIC SPEAKING IF
YOU ARE AT EARLY STAGES OF PUBLIC SPEAKING When
you begin with something, you always have anxiety
and you may be confused what to do and what not
to do. So here in this video Mr Anurag Aggarwal
tells you about what you should do if you are at
early stages of public speaking. Click here to
watch full video (in Hindi). 1. On the depth of
your desire depends the swiftness of your
progress. The more you have the desire to become
a good speaker, the faster you would become one.
You should have passion and a strong desire. 2.
Do not be disheartened. If people do not like
your speeches in the initial stage, they laugh at
you then do not get disheartened. Your desire
should not become weak because of all this.
Everyone has to face this situation. Keep going
on stage. 3. Practice body language. Your
non-verbal communication that is your body
language is as important as your verbal
communication. Rather non-verbal communication is
more important in public speaking and is easy to
practice and improve. 4. Face an audience as
frequently as you can. Come on the stage as often
as you can and you will soon stop shying. If you
want to be a good swimmer, you have to go into
water. Similarly the more you come on the stage,
the more confident you would be. 5. Find a style
that works for you. Every speaker has his/her own
style so you have to find yours too the way one
speaks, the way one uses his/her body language
etc. Identify and have your own suitable that you
would be comfortable with. Do not try to copy
others. 6. Know your audience. Know the
demographic of your audience. Not just that, you
should also know how much the gathering would be,
how big or small the hall would be, know the
equipment available there, know about most of the
things there in the hall. Click here to watch

girls skirt- long enough to cover the subject
and short enough to maintain the interest. Your
speech should be of an appropriate length so that
the audience can maintain their interest in it
and also it should not be too short that it
finishes before the audiences expectations. 8.
Slow down. When you are at an early stage of
public speaking, your heart beat may increase
when you go on the stage which may make increase
the speed at which you should speak. And this
becomes a hurdle in becoming a good speaker.

So deliberately try to speak slowly. Generally
the speed should between 140-160 words per minute
if it is a monologue. 9. Public speaking classes.
Join some public speaking course, public speaking
classes where you get platform to speak before
audience and you can gain confidence. Do it for
months or years together. 10. You need to have a
guide who can champion you. You should have a
coach/trainer/guide who can champion you, who can
bring the best talent out of you. 11. Take every
opportunity to speak. Never miss any opportunity
because of the fear of not been able to do it.
Just grab the opportunity whenever it comes your
way. As said earlier, the more often you would
come on the stage, face the audience, the more
confident and better speaker you would
become. 12. Get feedback from your friends,
relatives, audience or any other source, analyse
them and try to bring changes in yourself
considering these feedbacks. To join public
