Book: I'm a speaker! Textbook for everyone who speaks in public

Even without talent, you will find a way to become a good public speaker. You will read a lot of useful books on public speaking, find a person who can teach you, but all this can only be on one condition: you must have a goal - to master public speaking.

It doesn't matter if you have the makings of a speaker or not. Any person from any social circle can become an orator, the most important thing is to work constantly. Only in this case will you have talent.

A poster in my boxing room read, "Talent is the infinite ability to work." With the help of these five words, you can become a talented speaker. If you do not work, there can be no question of any skill.

Observation provides a huge number of answers to those questions that you have not even asked yourself yet.

It is useful to look at how priests in modern churches speak to parishioners. I sometimes watch the church channel just to improve my oratory skills.

If you want to learn something from other speakers, you need to remove from your thinking all assessments and judgments about what you know about this speaker.

Observation and an open mind makes it possible to learn from other speakers.

When I want to learn something new from another person, I have to forget about love and hate and watch that person without evaluation.

If you are insincere, people will definitely feel it and pay you back with their indifference.

Remember that sincerity is the source of fire, and fire can do anything, even melt icy hearts.

The fire in the speaker's soul is taken from sincerity. See that sincerity is the spark that turns into fire. A speaker cannot resemble a hired killer. A good speaker cannot be cold-blooded about his speech. At each speech, the speaker leaves a piece of himself. You have to perform as if you were performing for the last time. You should always act as if all of humanity is looking at you. It may seem scary, you may feel unworthy to speak out to all of humanity. I know that nothing can help you except sincerity.

Imagine that you are a fiery person. Your body is fire. Your words, your looks, your gestures - all this is a flame of fire that flies out of you. Now try to perform as if you want to burn your audience.

If a person remained indifferent to your performance, it means that you did not reach his heart.

It was the fire of truth. It seemed that the speaker was ready to burn in the face of everyone, for the sake of the truth. In the words and gestures of the speaker there was a fire of the soul and this fire burned in me indifference.
