Like any other
skill Public Speaking can be learnt if you have personal involvement and self
interest. Like in singing, there is no one single best way to sing. Each singer
has his or her own uniqueness. So also in public speaking.
In our life some
people impress us with their unique and special talent. Public speaking is also
a talent. Next time when you are in conversation with someone, or when you are
listening someone in a public meeting, notice how they speak. Notice their
style of delivery. Some speakers may impress you and some may not. Everyone who
impresses you could be your role model.
Here is an
exercise for you. Take a piece of paper and divide the same into two halves. On
one side write 'speakers who impressed me' and on the other write 'speakers who
did not impress me'. List what qualities of the speakers which impressed you
and what did not.
Record these qualities on the paper. For example, one speaker
could have impressed you by his ability to tell a joke or a story. One other
speaker could have told the same story in a monotone and in an unimpressive
way.
By observing
other speakers you can arrive at your own style!
