	Ten Myths of Public Speaking Video info: Having taught public speaking for close to thirty years, I have had the opportunity to hear and debunk most of the myths surrounding the subject. When you hear weak or bad public speeches, often belief in these myths is directly responsible. It isn't the myths themselves that present the problem, it is the result of belief in them — the speeches themselves — that is problematic.

	Stand up, Speak well Video info: When I took my first speech class, it was an actress in my class who told me how to overcome my nervousness. She said, don't think of yourself as someone giving a speech. Instead, think of yourself as an actor delivering the speech. What this does is to allow us to step outside of ourselves and to be someone else — what actors must do. When you're someone else, you are no longer nervous, since its no longer you. So, the first thing to do is think of yourself as an actor on the stage.

	Speech Speed vs. Thought Speed Video info: It doesn't come as a surprise that you think faster than you speak. Everyone does. Research has demonstrated that most people think at about 600 words per minute or greater but speak at only about 150 to 200 words per minute. This fact, however, has tremendous influence on both the effectiveness of speakers and the ability of listeners. When listeners’ thoughts run well beyond the words heard, it could be that all the time and preparation that speakers put into their speeches would fall of deaf ears.

	Special Occasion Speeches Video info: Giving a Special Occasion Speech - Toasts, Award Presentations, Acceptance Speeches, Keynote Addresses, Commencement Addresses, Graduation Speeches, and Weddings. First and foremost, when preparing a speech for a special occasion, analyze the expected audience carefully and adapt the speech specifically to those particular listeners. * Don't make your speech too long. No one ever complains about any of these types of speeches being too short. The audience will be pleased to see you do what is necessary to take care of business and may want to take some photos, but they don't want to hear your life history. Be brief; be to the point, and be seated.

	Impromptu Public Speaking Video info: Some people have defined impromptu speaking as public speaking on the spur-of-the-moment without preparation. It is precisely this definition and especially the last two words that instill fear and panic in many people. And yet seldom is an impromptu speech given without preparation! If the "preparation problem" is resolved, much of the fear and panic associated with impromptu speaking can be reduced or controlled.
