I want to learn public speaking. Is there any way?

Speaking of speeches, will you see a picture in your mind: a Russian with a moustache, leaning forward and waving his right hand, that is Lenin, speaking in the square in front of the Winter Palace; Or a black American with curly black hair and bright eyes is giving a speech "I have a dream" in Washington Square. This is the famous American sports leader Martin Luther King; Or, you will think of a professor China in a robe, scarf and round glasses. He just smells Yiduo. In other words, in a special speech contest, every contestant is giving an impassioned speech.

The above is a picture of my past speech in my mind, and it is also a speech that most people understand. In short, it is the kind of speech that a person is full of passion, waving his fist and making the whole audience excited. However, although this kind of speech can be exciting, it is often only used for life-and-death matters or major events. Therefore, the speech scope of general oratory books is limited to ideal sentiment speech, model deeds speech and publicity speech. But these speeches are rarely used in daily life.

Invisibly, speech has become a luxury that ordinary people look up to. In his book "Training of Eloquence and Speech Skills", Mr. Liu Bokui said meaningfully: "Since the revival in China in the mid-1980s, speeches have spread all over urban and rural areas. However, under the appearance of "fiery" speech activities, there is another side-"cold" speech application. At this stage, the' speech fever' is mainly manifested in the stage where speech lovers gather, and it seems that there is still a long way to go before the speech goes off the stage and becomes a powerful tool for success in life. "

Therefore, the author believes that only when the speech "becomes a powerful tool for success in life" will it be welcomed by ordinary people!

Just a stage speech that we ordinary people can't apply. If your leaders, colleagues and teachers always talk to you in the form of speeches, you will feel that there is something wrong with this person's way of speaking. The author offered the course "Speech and Recitation" in the College of Literature, Zhuhai Branch of Beijing Normal University. When the school asked freshmen to take this course, many students came with the feeling of being "caught". Because in their minds, the so-called speech is the kind of impassioned performance at the conference, which is far from their demand for speech.

After listening to the "introduction" part of the course, the students turned from disgust to joy, from "the teacher told me to learn" to "I want to learn by myself" Because speaking here means learning how to speak in front of people. Speaking in front of everyone means putting facts, reasoning and convincing people with reasoning. Emotion is not always passionate; The voice has ups and downs, but it is not always full of passion. Speak in an easy-to-understand way of communication. At this time, the students suddenly realized that they had changed from "being caught" to "volunteers" and wanted to study spontaneously.

From this, the author feels that in order to distinguish it from the traditional word "speech", this book does not use the word "speech", but uses the word "speech", which means learning public speech and learning how to talk to a person. Everyone is listening, empathizing and reasoning.

A sign of strong speech ability (1)

What is the ability to speak? That is, when speaking in public, I did it: full of emotions, courageous, good at listening and remembering. If you do this 12, you can say that this person can speak and has strong speaking ability!

1. One of the signs of strong speech ability: full of voice and emotion.

Sound and emotion are rich, one is sound and the other is emotion.

Let's talk about the "sound" in "sound and emotion", that is, to achieve "three essentials": the gas should be smooth, that is, the breath should be smooth; A good voice means a good voice; To use words clearly means to pronounce words clearly and clearly.

First, the gas should be ventilated. Qi, sound and symbol, among which qi is the premise. Angry people also have handsome voices. If the breath is not smooth, the voice will be hoarse and the pronunciation will not be clear.

Second, the sound should be pleasing to the ear. Because people's vocal cords are different, it is impossible to make them sound like Hong Zhong, but through training, you can make your breath smooth, make your voice icing on the cake, and make it sound more pleasant, comfortable and beautiful. We have seen some people with blue veins standing out on their necks and hoarse voices, all of which are caused by incorrect methods of using qi to make sounds and poor breath. Such a person's speech sounds unpleasant, which will affect the effect of his speech.

Third, the words should be clear. When you speak, you don't need to pronounce clearly, but you should pronounce clearly; You are not required to be as standard as an announcer, but let the audience understand you effortlessly. The following is a language joke. A leader visited a place in Guangdong. On the cruise ship, the local party secretary said, "The more you look at your wife, the more beautiful she is." Hearing this, the leader was in chaos. As soon as he explained later, he misunderstood. It turns out that his pronunciation is not accurate. He said: "The more suburbs you see from the bow, the better you look." After a while, I asked the leader to eat watermelon. "Director, you eat shit and I eat urine." Hearing this, the leader was furious. Once explained, it was misunderstood. It turns out that "big" is called "shit" and "small" is called "urine". Once, a TV host had a strong nasal voice, calling "unbelief" "misfortune" and "popular support" "star", leaving a laughing stock in the audience.

This kind of ambiguity and jokes caused by unclear pronunciation must be avoided when we speak. There is no need to be demanding when the pronunciation is not standard, but it will cause ambiguity in language and make jokes, so that the pronunciation will not pass.

The content of the third chapter of this book is to solve the problem of sound, so that you can quickly master the method of using gas in dantian. The sound is pleasant and the words are powerful.

Let's talk about the "emotion" in Sound and Emotion. Emotion is actually the attraction of words. The speaker's language can hold your ear tightly, and the speaker's expressions and gestures can hold your eyes tightly. Love is actually the appeal of words, which can make you cry, make you laugh, make you nervous and make you excited.

If you want to speak with emotion, you must achieve "three richness": rich gestures, rich expressions and rich tone. What is the relationship between the "three riches"? Which of the "three riches" is the "outline" and which is the "purpose"?

The content of the fourth chapter of this book is to solve the problem of love, so that you can start with gestures and quickly master the secrets of language attraction and infection

Readers who want to speak with strong voice and emotion can focus on the contents of Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.

2. The second sign of strong speech ability: courage and knowledge.

What do you mean, have courage? Is to be calm and confident when you speak, and take your time. What is knowledge? That is, the content of the speech should be knowledgeable, profound and novel.

The word "courageous and resourceful" has two meanings.

First of all, courage and knowledge are indispensable. Talking about "No Courage" is like not kicking the door. The content is wonderful, the thought is profound, and you are well prepared. You will be nervous on the spot, your mind will be blank, and you will smash the pot as soon as you get on stage. Talking about "ignorance" means having no thoughts. It tastes like chewing wax and the audience sounds useless.

Second, the order of courage and knowledge cannot be reversed. The words "courageous and knowledgeable" are not randomly arranged, but have internal logical relations. "Courage" comes first, and "knowledge" comes last. It can be seen that "courage" is the foundation and premise of knowledge. Only when the speaker has the courage can he think clearly and express the carefully prepared content well, even beyond the level.

Signs of Strong Speech Ability (2)

The second chapter of this book is to solve the problem of how speakers practice "courage".

3. The third sign of strong speech ability: listening and recording.

What do you mean, yes?

From the reaction of the audience, we can see that it can make the audience listen, laugh from time to time, and finally give warm applause. This is called listening. Anyone who holds a meeting at the top and a small meeting at the bottom must be bad at the top; It's not nice to hear everyone say that everyone below is reading their own books and doing their own things.

General Jin Yinan's speech was called Nice. General Jin is a professor of strategy at National Defense University and a guest speaker at the Southern Military Forum of CCTV. He talked about national defense strategy, with lofty position and passionate. He attended classes at the Central Party School and the National School of Administration for two hours, and no one walked around. At the Armed Police Headquarters, almost 900 people, including the general, did not shed tears; The General Staff talked with the veteran cadres for two and a half hours, but no one got up and walked around.

An article about Jin Yinan in People magazine "Watcher on the Mast" wrote: "On March 16, 2007, Jin Yinan, as the only military scholar, attended the seminar" Ethics and Values: Confusion of Contemporary China Diplomacy "held in Peking University. In view of the viewpoint that "soldiers are born for peace", Jin Yinan expounded the viewpoint that "soldiers are born for victory". When Jin Yinan gave a speech, the whole meeting was silent. Although the meeting was postponed, everyone had no intention of leaving. Some people even suggested leaving their speaking time to Jin Yinan to continue. "

The article also tells a story in which Jin Yinan told officers from 26 countries to "concentrate on listening". In 2000, when Jin Yinan was studying at the Royal Academy of Military Sciences, the academy had to select two students from 30 students to introduce their country's social system. As the only representative from socialist countries, students from all over the world are very concerned about Jin Yinan's speech.

In order to prepare for 15 minute speech, Jin Yinan only slept for five hours in two days. Compared with the figure of 65,438,000 years in China, Jin Yinan strongly shows that only socialism can save China. "The audience was unusually quiet. The faces that listened attentively were black, yellow and white. 15 minutes later, the audience applauded for a long time. "

You see, no matter what you say, no matter who the audience is, as long as you can make the audience "silent" and end the speech with "long and warm applause", it is a good speech.

What is easy to remember? That is, the audience under the stage doesn't bring paper and pens. After listening, they can keep the main points in their minds and help you pass them on from mouth to mouth in the future. If you force the audience to bring a paper tape pen and memorize it by rote, others can't remember it, which is called bad memorization.

In the movie The Founding of the People's Republic, Mao Zedong has a classic line that people will never forget. When Yan 'an fell, Mao Zedong said, "If you lose your land, you lose your land." If people lose their land, people and land will survive. "Almost everyone who has seen this movie is saying this sentence, which is easy to remember.

If you want to listen, you can only tell stories; Remember, only conciseness, conciseness and conciseness. The fifth chapter of this book is to teach you to speak well and remember well.

If you can do the twelve words "full of emotion, great courage, and easy to remember", your speaking ability and level will be higher, and you will be able to make the audience give the speaker a thumbs up.
