How to deliver a good speech

By

Farida Hanim Binti Bukhari

Public Speaking is a very important quality that people need to be a good leader. It is also an important skill for certain jobs such as teaching, selling, communicating and many more. However many people avoid public speaking for several reasons such as lack in confidence, not knowing the right way of speaking and being afraid of making mistakes. As such I would like to suggest several ways to deliver a good speech.

First, we need to be very confident. We can build this confidence by practicing the speech several times. You can practice your speech with your family members or friends. You may also practice in front of a mirror. With a lot of practices your confident level will increase.

Secondly, you should focus more on the points of your speech, and list down all your points. This will make your speech more structured.  A good speech must have three major components namely interesting introduction, brilliant contents or body of speech and effective closing.

Thirdly, try to make some jokes in your speech. Jokes will normally  attract people’s attention. You can find good jokes from books, internet or any other good source. Make sure the jokes do not hurt others’ feeling.

Lastly, avoid from talking too long. The longer you talk, the more room would be there for mistakes or for audience to get bored or maybe sleepy. With all these advices, I believe you all can deliver a very good speech.
