Delivering a speech is a hard task. Yes, if you were just new in the arena, of course, you would feel incompetent and all. But with practice everything will be fine and dandy.
Here are some things to consider when you want to make your audience go crazy about you, and your performance:
1. Practice. Yes, sans practice your delivery would be chaotic, unless you have mastered the art and science of public speaking. But, a newbie must undergo series of training from their mentors, or self-help books, audio materials, etc.
2. Improve your vocabulary. The more words you know, the better a chance to express yourself in a comprehensible way. Exactness of word to illustrate your point is a tool to making your speech or message easy to absorb by your audience.
3. Be yourself. No need to ape someone. Be unique. Develop your own way of taking the center stage and let them be amazed on how you make them enthralled. A good speaker sets the milieu simply by standing there without uttering a word; but, the time he speaks everybody is trapped in his world. Yes, audience becomes oblivious of the inadequacy of the venue, say lacking proper ventilation due to overcrowding, etc.
4. Deliver as if it is your last. Yes just like an actor, his competence is gauged by his latest movie-- when it becomes box office hit, he is effective and all. You as a speaker must do the same. Pretend that you are evaluated by an all-knowing veteran in the public speaking world and your performance would speak of you either a great speaker or ineffective one.
5. Assess yourself. In every speaking engagement you have, why not learn a thing or two? The audience reaction or responses could give you some hints on how you deliver your speech. They know if you had ample preparations before going live and when you were inadequate in your performance by merely presenting your topic as if a routine given to you.
Audience deserves respect. Give it to them by making your speech a meaningful one. Get creative and see how it would impact to them.
There is always room for improvement. Yes, in fact it is the biggest room in the world of learning. Have fun and experience learning a thing or two on your journey to becoming a great speaker someday.
