The question requires an answer. The speaker is obliged to give an answer to any question.

The advice to the speaker is simple - be natural.

There is nothing shameful in our physiology. We are all people and a speaker as well, although any speaker should strive for the perfection of his appearance.

The speaker does not need to be shy and give in to questions, but smoothly translate them into the topic of conversation that is beneficial to him.

You may be asked a question that you don't know the answer to. You can honestly say that you are not interested in this topic, and you can not give an answer to this question. And immediately translate the speech into the world of their interests.

Don't be afraid to say you don't know something. You may not need this knowledge.

Your task is to speak, and not be afraid that there will be an erudite in the audience who wants to enjoy your public shame and ignorance. Go ahead! You are an orator, which means that your task is to reach out to the hearts of listeners, and not to be a walking encyclopedia.

The desire to appear smart makes a person funny.

In his speech, the speaker must constantly add facts, otherwise his speech is unconclusive.

Facts force a person to remove doubts from his head and agree with the speaker in everything.

You can learn to speak beautifully and emotionally, but without facts, your speech will not be convincing enough.

Remember that a speaker without facts is a ship without a sea.

Any speaker speaks for a purpose. The purpose of any speech is to motivate the person to take action. If you, as a speaker, want to get people to take action, then you need to be very persuasive. And you can be convincing with facts.

What is a fact? Why is this the most stubborn thing in the world? The word fact comes from the Latin word factum - accomplished. The term "fact" is often used in modern speech. What for? A person's thinking is triggered automatically when he hears some "fact" and immediately receives a signal that what is said is true, a real event or result. A fact is something concrete, not abstract. Well, or quite simply, the fact equals the truth. When a speaker uses facts in his speech, then the audience understands that they are being told the truth or irrefutable truth. Thus, the speaker's speech becomes convincing. And not just convincing, but very convincing.
