Public Speaking 102 mooning your lines, this is the one that's the most challenging, but also the most satisfying. It also gives you confidence when you're on stage because you know your stuff. Let's go through the procedure as to how I learned to keep it all together. If you put in your speech together and you've told a lot of stories, are you going to tell a lot of stories, you know those stories, so you're just going to need key stuff. But the other stuff like the facts in it, you need to write it all down. You must write your entire speech down from beginning to end.
Exactly word for word how you want to say it. Do a spellcheck, grammatical errors. You've got to fix that up because if it's not fixed when you're trying to learn your lines, your brain If we don't spell it like that, and then your brain now freezes, you have to make sure everything is in place. Also the grammar you don't want to try and learn it. And then you go on, how's it supposed to go? You write it down, and then you read it to make sure it makes sense.
It has to make sense to you. So now once you've got it down, and you're happy with it recorded, I always record especially if I'm doing a script for a movie, I will look at the script. I will read it word for word, no emotions, no nothing just so that I can get it something that we all know. supercalifragilistic Oh, baby beiges. Even though the sound of it is simply quite atrocious. Because I know those I can just play.
I can have a good time because I know those lines very, very well. Practice it with a favorite song and try and get different emotions like excitement. Words that you really know. Play around with it, but you must record your speech. Listen to me. This is very, very important.
By doing that, you're going to learn your lines, but also hear how you speak. When you record a try your best, as if you're saying it as a speech, don't worry about getting a to write, you just got to get those words right, then what you have to do is you now extract key points out of your speech with those key points, you're going to now go and visualize it. I'm going to walk on stage, and then I'm going to start off I always look for opening line like her or to all the mothers really job well done for bringing up all your kids something that just sparks me off the now I'm going to picture my entire speech because as I was teaching you the art of speaking, is you want to picture what you're going to say, because it's far easier to remember pictures then lines, key facts, then you take those key effects and you put them onto cards.
This big You can obtain it in 20 of them. Obviously, you don't want too many because your speech has a time limit on it. Keep your time. And remember situation can change your time, from a 40 minute down to a 30 minute, I went for a public speaking event, 40 minutes and all I got was five in the end. But because I know how to stick to the point, and I know my intent, I was able to do it. And that was a miracle MSA, you write down your key points, it doesn't matter.
Keep them in order. And then you now practice author, there's going to be a lot less writing from this massive speech down to these cards. Once you've got used to your cards, then what you're going to do is you're going to throw away the cards and this is what I do. I will keep them and I'm going to write them on my hands. I will not take those key facts. And I will write them on my hand if I want to.
And crazy enough I do do this. Especially if I don't have enough time to prepare people to sell Tomorrow morning, can you say a speech. Now, keeping in mind is nothing wrong with you standing up with a speech and reading it. It's just so much more difficult trying to concentrate on that and your body language. I will write down point one because it's finger 1.2 because it's finger two, and then I will go over to the other hand if I need to. And then what I do is I make it small enough for me to read.
And if the audience is far enough, that Mountain Club got dirty hands or something, okay, but my speeches they go, guys, you know, you guys over there, they think I'm looking at them, but I'm actually looking at my hands. So I can see the next point, you got it. And then eventually, what you want to be able to do is have nothing at all. Sometimes what I'll do is I'll put a whiteboard on the floor or a piece of paper on the floor, so I can read it. People might know it's there, but I don't want them to be interrupted by me looking at a piece of paper. And if you lose your place, just keep on going.
It's like when you're walking and you trip over something Yeah, you're walking and you trip. Don't draw attention to a mistake. If you're going to trip while walking, this is how you do it. You keep on walking. Nobody knows your speech. You do.
So if you make a mistake, they're not going to know if you've made a mistake, just casually move on. Got it. Till next time enjoy this one. Come on.
