Public Speaking Training on a Super-Secret Staging Technique Posted By : David Portney

Stage anchoring is a technique used to manage and control emotional state of mind of your audience or group in any public speaking situation. Putting those terms together, stage anchoring means using specific physical locations on "the stage" as a specific stimulus that creates a specific predetermined emotional response in your audience. What makes this advanced is primarily the fact that you are mapping out ahead of time what specific emotional states and moods you want to elicit in your group. This means that step one of planning your stage anchors is deciding what specific emotional states of mind you want your audience to experience. Step three is deciding ahead of time exactly which location on the stage you'll use exclusively for that particular emotional state. Stage anchoring is a highly sophisticated and extremely powerful way of controlling the mood and emotional states of your audience in ways you have determined ahead of time.
