That's right, but what we train is eloquence. Why is it better to start with a public speech?
1, the principle of first training is the same, eloquence is a comprehensive ability, covering a wide range. It's not just the skills of expressing ability-thinking logic, language organization, organization and good voice. There are also our thinking activity, associative ability, meaningful words and knowledge reserves.
2. Public speaking is more demanding. If you can practice public speaking, one-on-one expression will be easier. Public speaking requires fluency, overcoming nervousness and being able to convey valuable information in a short time. If it is an impromptu speech, it has training value.
Therefore, we should train our public speaking and speaking skills. Now is a person's "hard power"!
We usually report our work, compete to speak, and get promoted and developed. Or create and lead a team, all need the ability to speak from the public! This is the most basic ability.
So, what's wrong with speaking in public?
One is cowardice. No matter how well the speech is written, no matter how many times I practice it, when I stand on the stage, my brain will still be blank and I will tremble.
The second is silence. You can't speak scientifically with your breath, and your voice is small and unpleasant. If you talk too much, your voice will be hoarse and your words will be vague.
The third is heartless. Speak without emotion, plain as water, and lack of intonation.
The fourth is ignorance. Lack of knowledge, the content of the speech is logical, disorganized, unpleasant and difficult to remember.
So how should I practice?
First, practice courage.
Practice courage by smiling, staring and standing. Specifically, what are the manifestations of speaking without courage?
According to my observation, people who don't have the courage to speak often have "three uncertainties" in body language: one is uncertainty in laughter.
When talking, there is no smile on your face, or you can't keep smiling all the time.
Second, the eyes are uncertain. You can't look at the audience with your eyes when you are giving a speech. You can either look at the ceiling, the ground and the speech, or look at the audience and get out of the way at once.
Third, uncertainty. After taking the stage, I began to speak before I stood firm, stood crooked on the stage, and hurried off the stage after I finished.
Since cowardice can be expressed through body language, can we improve our courage by improving body language? Practice has proved that this is feasible and effective.
The "three-determination" method-smile, look in the eyes and stand, that is, smile on the stage and stand on the stage before starting to speak. When you speak, you should also smile and look at the audience. I tried it and found it very effective, especially after standing on the stage for three seconds. I immediately relaxed and felt "relaxed". The "three-determination" method of practicing bravery is as simple as that. This method makes many students feel the sense of achievement in public speaking. For them, speaking in public is not an uncomfortable thing, but an enjoyable thing.
Second, practice your voice.
Practice ear grammar:
It can make people learn to make sounds with Tian Dan Qi. When you speak, push your lower abdomen and relax your vocal cords, so that there will be no congestion or nodules in your vocal cords. So, what is whispering practice?
To put it bluntly, it is a way to practice your voice by whispering. For example, when you are reviewing your lessons at home, your mother has something to say to your father, and she whispers in your father's ear for fear of affecting your study. This is ear grammar.
By practicing ear grammar every day, you can master the correct pronunciation method. This method is easy to learn and everyone can learn it. As the saying goes, "A true story tells a false story about thousands of books", some people teach their knowledge to others, which is very mysterious. After listening to it for a long time, people are still at a loss, and finally they can't learn it. The ancients said that the real truth is very simple, and everyone can understand it as soon as they listen.
Please do the following exercises:
For the first time, I read the tongue twister "Strange": Strange, strange, strange, the sparrow trampled the old hen to death, the ant was three feet six, and the octogenarian was lying in the cradle.
When reading, which part is exerting force? Sound.
The second time, make horns with your hands, then put them on your mouth and read them in a low voice. When studying, where do you feel tired? Lower abdomen. Please remember this feeling, the abdomen is very tired, which is the result of the voice of Dantian.
In the traditional vocal music training method, the practice of qi, sound and word are separated, while the whisper practice rule combines the practice of qi, sound and word into one, killing two birds with one stone. After practice, breathing will be smoother, voice will be more pleasant, and speech will be clearer. Why is this happening? Because when you practice ear grammar, you use breath sounds, and to make breath sounds, you have to tighten your lower abdomen and push hard, so that your breath can sink. When the breath is smooth, the sound will naturally be loud.
Third, training methods
Double dance "method:
It doesn't mean dancing, but dancing and dancing happily. "Double Dance" training method is a training method to make the speech vivid. The so-called "dancing" means adding gestures when talking; The so-called "very happy" means that there is an expression on your face when you speak. I borrowed a dance term and called these two requirements "duets". When you speak, you are expressionless and don't do any physical movements, which will make the audience feel dull, just like drinking a cup of boiled water.
Albert Merabian, a psychologist, found through research that when people speak, they mainly infect the audience through three aspects. Among them, the content of speech only contributed 7%, the tone, intonation and speed of speech contributed 38%, and body language such as gestures and facial expressions contributed the most, accounting for 55%.
Say "speed, strength, passion" without gestures for the first time.
The second time, add gestures to say "speed, strength, passion".
When you say "speed", put your right hand and five fingers together, make a sharp knife shape, and quickly stab it from back to front;
When you say "strength", your arms are raised, your hands are clenched, and your muscles are tightened to show your muscle strength;
When you say "passion", stretch your arms up and open your hands and fingers.
How do you feel? Do you feel that when you don't make gestures, your tone is dull and there is no passion, but with gestures, the language full of breath, blood boiling and passion will blurt out?
The consistency of human action rhythm determines what rhythm the hand has and what rhythm the mouth has; What you feel in your hand is what you feel in your mouth.
Let's look at an exercise paragraph "Balloon Theory":
Success is like a balloon. If you want this balloon to be big and round, you must keep blowing it. Once blowing is stopped, the balloon will deflate slowly until it is exhausted.
When you say "success is like a balloon", draw the shape of the balloon by hand.
When you say "If you want this balloon to be big and round", draw the balloon bigger and rounder with both hands.
When you say "you have to keep blowing", drum up your cheeks to do the blowing action;
When you say "once you stop blowing", do the referee's action with both hands;
When you say "the balloon will deflate slowly", draw the balloon from big to small by hand;
When you say "until you blow your breath away", open your hand. With action, is the speech immediately vivid?
It can be seen that if you want to dance well, you must store rich image data in your mind. This requires us to observe things in life carefully in order to store more image data. In the process of access, thinking in images has been well exercised.
Fourth, practical knowledge.
When we speak in public, the purpose is to spread our thoughts, so it is most important to convey them to each other's ears.
There are three criteria for a good speech:
First, it sounds good. What do you mean, yes?
Is to hold the audience's ears tightly and make them want to hear it involuntarily. Whether the speech is good or not can be seen from the size of the "three sounds" (laughter, cheers and applause) at the scene.
The second one is easy to remember. It is easy to remember that the audience need not take notes. After listening to your speech, they will naturally remember.
If you finish, the audience will have a good time, but you don't know what you said, then your speech is unsuccessful.
The third is easy to use. It is not enough to make a good speech and remember it easily, but also to be able to use it easily.
Tell the truth, useful words, avoid empty talk, big talk, irrelevant words. Your ideas, principles and methods should be put into practice by the audience.
Is there a simple and logical way to speak? ——? "One simple, two living and three practicing knowledge".
"Jane" is a way to refine ideas.
How to operate specifically? To compress the viewpoint, one is to compress long sentences into phrases, the other is to compress short sentences into keywords, and the third is to compress words into words. In short, we should try our best to express our views in the simplest language, so as to make people remember deeply.
The "second activity" means that after expressing your point of view, you will then quote vivid examples and data to illustrate your point of view.
If you don't give examples, the effect is zero, because no one likes to listen to dry sermons. Men, women and children love stories. A good story is worth a thousand words. Telling a vivid little story is better than telling a bunch of boring truths.
"Three types" refers to the formulation of ideas.
That is to connect two or more small ideas in the speech into a word, so that the audience can easily remember it. For example, if the words "thinking power", "decision power" and "execution power" all contain the word "force", then these three words can be compressed into "three forces".
For example, we often see the word "coal dance" in stock reviews, and people who don't speculate in stocks will be puzzled. In fact, "coal flying color dance" is a homonym of "flying color dance", in which "coal" refers to the coal sector, "color" refers to the non-ferrous metal sector, and "coal flying color dance" refers to the rise of these two sectors in the stock market.
When you speak in a simple, vivid and pithy way, you should follow the "432" commandment.
The so-called "four" means that the point of view should be concise, no more than four words, preferably one word, so that it is easy to remember.
The so-called "three" means that there cannot be more than three opinions. As the saying goes, there are too many opinions, and it is difficult to explain every point thoroughly in a limited time. Generally speaking, three viewpoints are enough to make the truth clear.
The so-called "two" means that it is best to use two examples when explaining the point. To give just one example, the audience was not impressed by the viewpoint. Tell three examples, one is that it takes up too much time, and the other is that the audience will feel verbose. Two examples are just right, no more, no less, which can strengthen the point of view without boring the audience.
Practice method:
1, spend time practicing every day: you can train the logic of speaking with "one word understanding";
To write "one-word understanding" is to write down the feelings of practicing ear dance every day, or the feelings in work and life, with one-word point of view and one or two hundred words of examples.
If a speech is to be convincing, it must be reasonable.
"Reason" is an opinion and truth, and "certificate" is an example. The idea of writing a word is "simplicity", training high generalization ability and practicing "rationality";
An example of writing one or two hundred words is "two jobs", training the ability of careful observation and practicing "evidence"
Writing "one-word understanding" is the most effective way to train speaking logic. First use a word to show your point of view, then use a sentence to illustrate your point of view, and then use a vivid example to illustrate your point of view. This is the most rigorous and logical discussion process.
Summary:
I just introduced four simple directions to you, using very simple methods to practice our courage, voice, emotion, knowledge, and train our logic and expression ability.
It takes a long time to fundamentally solve the problems of "poor words" and "nothing to say". Only with skill, it is difficult to be eloquent. There are two ways to accumulate knowledge: one is to read thousands of books, and the other is to take the Wan Li Road.
While we are doing "output"-speech training, we are also urging us to "input"-reading and learning (in any form)!
To sum up, in fact, all methods need constant practice to be helpful, and no matter how many methods you know, you can't do it without practice.
Eloquence, like fitness, needs to be ironed in person. ? Continuous deliberate practice. There will be progress.
Ordinary students, it is more difficult to practice alone. Except those who are particularly self-disciplined ~ ~
Simin online eloquence class will help you solve the following difficulties:
1, it is difficult to persist and self-discipline-punching practice
2, a person has no feelings-group training, interaction,
3, no feedback, I don't know if I practiced correctly-the teacher supervised and practiced feedback.
4, offline training feedback time is long-see the teacher four times a week, training every morning, feedback time is fast. The internet age is good ~
5, afraid of no sense of reality-live broadcast, refusal to record and broadcast, group learning, just like the opposite side of the line, more intimate ~ ~
6, do not like reading books-Simin eloquence WeChat official account, intensive reading of a book every month, actual combat in eloquence practice (after all, learned eloquence skills, and finally spelled knowledge reserves and ideas! )
7, free audition, the only criterion to test the truth is to experience it yourself ~ ~ (after all, adults are not stupid and have their own judgments)
