You’ve got the high-quality content, you’ve written it out, but still don’t have the idea how to properly deliver the speech? In public speaking, there is energy, movement, and tonality that you should start practising on.

Today in Presenting, Pitching & Public Speaking Podcast, Toni tells how important are these three elements when delivering a speech. They create the stimulating atmosphere inside the room and connect you to your audience better. Learn how to control the highs & lows, the ebbs & flows, and the peaks & troughs of your voice. The power of your voice and movement can change the energy, the emotions and the mood of your audience.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you move a lot, your energy is high, your tone is high. And this generates an invigorating voice in the room. If you want to lower your tone, stay in one place or sit on a stool while speaking.
• It can be used to emphasize a point. You can use it to lower your energy or rest for a while.
• If it’s a small room, make it a participative environment. Get a response by hand-raising or by letting them answer yes-or-no questions. If it’s a big room, divide them into groups. Let them share stories and knowledge with one another. In this way, the energy in the room also raises.
• If you get distracted by a few audience members because they may be talking, checking their phone, or sleeping, don’t focus on them. Focus on the rest of your audience who actually has an interest in your content.
• If there is low energy inside the room, use power exercises, icebreakers, or games to energize them up.
• We all have a default energy and tone. It can be quiet, measured, or loud BUT it doesn’t matter. What matters is how to own it and emphasize it in a room.
• Congruence and Confidence. Create the energy, movement, and tonality needed to make an interesting speech. When it’s an exciting part of the speech, increase your tone, pace, energy. The rollercoaster of speed, energy, and emotions can be noticed by your audience.

BEST MOMENTS

• “It’s important that your participants are having fun and are engaged throughout your speech. You can determine this through your own energy.”
• “Don’t prejudge the room and get the incorrect perception."
• “You determine the energy in the room. You have the power to increase it or decrease it.”
• “Not just the visible energy, but the invisible energy can be noticed as well.”
