Public Speaking - Be More Conversational Posted By : Edward Hope

The only significant difference between conversation and public speaking is that during a speech there is no exchange of remarks. Similarly with public speaking you should maintain eye contact with your audience because this will help you gain feedback to gauge whether your listeners can hear you etc. It is important that you show good manners by confidently walking to the podium, smiling at the audience and acknowledging the leadership and the audience. However, before your speaking engagement it is advisable to employ active listening and questioning to fully understand the requirements and to determine the audience's interests, so that your speech meets the organisation and the audience's wants.
