9 Tips for Excellent Public Speaking

With practice, though, you can reduce the anxiety they cause, calm your nerves, and become a great public speaker. Today we'll cover 9 areas of focus - including eye contact, body language, speech rate, and methods of practice - that you can improve in order to start delivering great speeches. The companion article for this video contains a LOT of extra detail, bonus resources, links to videos of great speakers, and even a couple old videos of me practicing speeches (one is pretty terrible). Check it out.

In this video, I will teach you how to begin a speech and grab your audience's attention, how to get to your point, and how you can leave a good lasting impression. I go through a free speech openers that others have done to show how effective these openers can be, and I talk about what not to do for your speech.
