For public speaking technique, we have briefly discussed the value of your body language, the 3 “P”s of a good speaker but it is also time to explore deeper into the way you talk and convey your speech.  Lets call this the public speaking voice technique. Though it may sound simple but it can actually be quite an art.

I have listed 3 factors you should look at:

1 – Emotions in your voice

What could be more boring than to have someone on stage talking straight out of a text book? There are no ups, no downs and no signs of humor or power.  This is the reason why people start dozing off, playing games on their mobile.  A good speaker will always make their speech come alive.  There may be no trees or wind blowing in a room but an experience speaker can deliver a speech with audiences imagining the trees around them making them relax or feel the force of wind blowing at them with convictions in the speaker’s voice.

2 – Volume of your speech in words and sentences

Would you stay and listen to someone whom you can barely hear what they are saying? And if the speaker is too loud, don’t you just want to leave the room immediately to stop the suffering of your ears? The volume of your voice can give wonders.  And it also gives the projection of emotions as well.  You should be soft when it needs to be and you should be loud when you want people to know your strong approval of objections.  Your volume can also give a certain calmness when people listen to you speak.

3 – Projection of honesty and Sincerity

I am not sure if you are aware of this point but did you know that a person’s voice can affect how others view him as a honest person or not.  It is strange that your voice can determine your honesty level but if the audiences don’t trust you, how can you expect them to continue listening to what you have to say.  If you fail on this point, which is especially crucial in the first 10 minutes of your speech, then you are going to face an impossible task to get the people to listen.

Remember not to Overdo Things

In these 3 points, you have to be careful of over-doing it.  You might deliver a presence of being too cheeky, too unbelievable or you might deliver an image of a person not knowing what exactly is he talking about.  So always practise, practise and practise.  Memorise your speech by heart, totally understand each sentence, study which part of your speech to be soft, to be loud, to show emotions and you can easily win your audiences attention.
