Veja como você pode aprimorar suas habilidades de falar em público para apresentações.

Knowing your content cannot be overemphasized. It is very important. Practicing your content over and over, till you know it, is one of the keys to excellent performance and communication. You don't want to get nervous or thrown off balance when someone in your audience spots something in your slides, and you have no answer for it. The reason you need to know beyond what's on your slides and know more than your audience (if possible). This brings about excellent presentation, and aids in bringing your communication and message to your audiences' table, like they expect it. So practice! Practice! Practice!

Enhance your public speaking by using presentations to structure your message clearly and keep your audience engaged. Use visual aids, such as slides with key points, images, and graphs, to reinforce your verbal content and make complex information easier to understand. Practice transitioning smoothly between slides to maintain a natural flow. Engage your audience with interactive elements like questions or polls. Ensure your slides are not overly text-heavy to keep the focus on your speaking. Rehearse extensively to build confidence and refine your delivery, using the presentation as a guide rather than a crutch.

A mí me encanta incluir a la audiencia en la conversación porque además de que se genera un diálogo más interesante, logras que te pongan más atención.

Naturally, regular practice is one of the most effective ways to enhance your public speaking skills. I have found Toastmasters to be incredibly helpful for this purpose. At Toastmasters, you can write and present original speeches or real-life presentations to an audience and receive valuable feedback. Additionally, the practice of table topics—where you are given a topic to speak on the fly—helps improve your ability to think and articulate quickly. This provides ample opportunities to practice in front of an audience and refine your speaking skills based on constructive feedback, making it an excellent resource for anyone looking to boost their public speaking abilities. I'm a fan!

Non-verbals are loud! Imagine telling your audience a story of how a car knocked someone down on your way there, and the expression on your face at that time is happy.... Really? That's conflicting right? There is need to master non-verbals. Non-verbals are arts that aid the communication of your message to your audience. Eye contact, posture, gesticulation, facial expressions, all play a crucial role in passing down your message. The key to mastering non-verbals is consistent practice. Practice! In order to eliminate the pending confusing that may arise between your words and non-verbals, you don't want to leave your audience confused in the end.

One of the best advantages that come with controlling the cadence of a presentation is clarity. Confident, clear delivery can prevent misunderstandings. Using visual aids like slides and videos can also assist in breaking monotony and pacing your speaking presentation.

Having that feeling of nervousness is normal. But guess what? Your brain can either interpret it as fear or excitement. It all depends on what your brain calls it. Breath control can help you handle nervousness and keep you relaxed. As much as you can, consistently take pauses for breathing, this helps to calm your nerves.

Lo mejor para lidiar con la ansiedad es aceptarla e integrarla. Esto pasa por conocerla. Tienes que entender que nos pone nerviosos aquello que nos importa. La ansiedad únicamente nos activa para que podamos dar el mejor resultado. Es incómoda, sí, pero no debemos renunciar a ella. La indiferencia sería el peor enemigo de una exposición brillante. Acepta tus emociones, abrázalas desde la comprensión y avanza en tu camino junto a ellas. Créeme, cuando aprendas a hacerlo, te ayudarán y potenciarán.

Voice Projection. Imagine a hall filled with 1,000 people, and you the speaker is somewhere in front - with no sound system. How do you intend to convey your message with that tiny sweet voice of yours? Guess what? You only end up losing half of your audience. Honestly, they can't hear you. There is need to project your voice when speaking to an audience. And a way to do that is to breathe from your diaphragm. In that case, you not only convey your message, but you also engage your audience with your sweet voice.
