In this video, I'll share public speaking tips for beginners.
2
So if you're just getting started in your stand-up speaking experience, this video is for you.
3
So let's unpack the details.
4
Hello there and welcome to this channel, Communication Coach.
5
If you're never tuned in yet, this channel is here to help rising leaders increase your personal impact
6
so you can lead the people around you with more excellence and today we're talking about communication skills specifically.
7
If you haven't had a lot of experience doing stand-up speaking, I'm going to give you some do's and some don'ts that'll help move you in the right direction.
8
And as we talk about these do's and don'ts, I want you to pick out which ones you think would help you the most,
9
and feel free at any point to comment in that section below the video.
10
So I said do's and don'ts, we're actually going to start with the don'ts and then give you the do version of it.
11
So that's the way we'll organize it.
12
So the first pair goes like this.
13
Don't ramble and get long-winded.
14
Anytime a speaker is disorganized and weaves all around, it's very hard to follow what he or she is talking about.
15
And instead, what you want to do is give a nice organized and concise message.
16
That means you have to take the time beforehand when you're preparing to create a nice introduction, body, and conclusion.
17
Make sure you have clear main points and there's a transition statement between each main point,
18
your audience is really going to appreciate an orderly presentation of your ideas
19
and it's much more likely that they'll remember what you said
20
and really that's the whole point of speaking to them in the first place.
21
The next don't is don't look with your eyes in the wrong places.
22
You want to not look over people's heads
23
or not look at the floor and not stare at the ceiling or scan around like that,
24
what you want to do is look directly into a person's eye long enough to finish a thought
25
and then move on and look directly into the next person's eyes long enough to finish a thought.
26
One public speaking teacher told me, one thought, one look.
27
In other words, about a sentence or a half a sentence and then move on to the next person.
28
Now this is very difficult to do if you're not used to it.
29
It can feel very awkward looking right into someone's eyes, but you have to gear up for this because that's what audiences want.
30
We want people to connect with us.
31
If you're not looking into our eyes and making us feel like we're part of this, then you're not going to have much of an impact.
32
The next thing you want to do is don't, rather, this is a don't, don't clutter up all your notes with too many details.
33
A lot of times we're tempted to jam our notes
34
or our PowerPoints with everything we want to but the result is when we're nervous in the moment,
35
we end up just locked into our notes and looking down the whole time and reading and sounding really stiff, really wooden, and you're not going to again connect with people.
36
So what you want to do instead is pare down your notes
37
so that you can just have a conversational style with your audience.
38
And again, as you're practicing, you have to whittle down those notes so that all you have is like talking points, like a little grocery list of items that you're going to talk about,
39
and it almost forces you or at least frees you to connect with people,
40
to look up, and to have a nice normal conversation with them and your natural personality.
41
The next don't is you don't want to load up your slide with all complicated animations and text.
42
And one of the reasons is you don't want to stare at it and read from it.
43
The other reason is that it's very hard to follow what's going on if your slides are jam-packed with detail.
44
What you want to do instead is make sure your slides nice
45
and clear and simple and help you make whatever point you're making in that particular moment.
46
A rule of thumb that I like to use is
47
if you're spending more than about two
48
or three minutes on each PowerPoint slide then you're probably wasting your time
49
and I don't recommend using more than a couple of slides per presentation anyway
50
if you're a beginner because people tend to over rely on the slides
51
and load up each single slide with way too much.
52
The next don't is don't Don't fidget.
53
Don't fidget with your hands.
54
Don't fidget with your feet.
55
Don't pace back and forth aimlessly because you're nervous.
56
What you want to do instead is have nice confident posture where you stand in one place for a little while.
57
And then if you want to move with a purpose, move, stand another place for a while, and then share another part of your message.
58
Move for the purpose, stand still, share some of your message.
59
Don't just pace, have nice confident posture.
60
Same thing with your hands.
61
You want to use gestures and emphasize your ideas with your hands.
62
You don't want to fidget and put them in your pockets
63
or play with a pen or do anything else weird or distracting like that.
64
That's a big part of how you come across non-verbally
65
and I recommend that when you're practicing you work on this as well.
66
And the last don't and do is how you use your voice.
67
What you don't want to do is speak too softly, use a lot of fillers like um and ah and so.
68
What you want to do is have a confident voice where
69
you speak loud like to the back of the the room with a nice clear volume.
70
Aim for the back of the room because think about it.
71
You have to reach those people.
72
The other thing you want to do is emphasize your key words with the sound of your voice
73
and also pause after you share a key idea or a key thought.
74
Pause for a minute silently.
75
Don't fill it up with an um or an ah.
76
The pause is much more effective.
77
So here are some do's and don'ts, some tips for beginners.
78
Again, as I mentioned, where do you see yourself in here?
79
Which one do you think would help you the most in this list?
80
I would love to hear your comments in that section below.
81
So thanks, God bless, and I will see you in the next video.

谁适合这个视频？
如果你是刚开始接触公众演讲的新手，或是想通过英语口语练习提升表达能力，甚至是为雅思口语练习积累实战技巧，这个视频都能给你实用指导。它聚焦沟通技巧的核心细节，帮你避免常见误区，快速建立自信。
值得借鉴的表达
- ramble and get long-winded：东拉西扯、冗长啰嗦。比如演讲时没有结构，想到什么说什么，就会给人这种感觉。
- pare down：精简。视频中提到要把笔记“pare down”成关键点，就像把繁杂的信息“瘦身”，让表达更清晰。
- whittle down：逐步删减。和“pare down”意思相近，强调通过反复练习，一点点去掉多余内容，让演讲更流畅。
如何练好发音与表达？
想要通过shadow speak（影子跟读法）模仿视频中的演讲风格，可重点关注以下几点：首先，注意演讲者的语速控制。他在强调“组织清晰”时，语速平稳，每个观点之间有明显停顿，这有助于听众理解。练习时可跟着重复，感受“一句一停”的节奏。其次，模仿眼神交流的表达。虽然视频中没有声音，但“one thought, one look”的原则可通过语气变化体现——每说完一个观点，语气稍作加重，仿佛在与听众“对视”。最后，关注连读和弱读。比如“a lot of”中的“of”弱读，“connect with”中的“with”轻读，这些细节能让你的口语更自然，提升英语发音的地道感。
记住，公众演讲的核心是“连接”。无论是精简笔记还是简化幻灯片，都是为了让你的声音和思想更清晰地传递给听众。不妨用shadowspeak法反复跟读视频片段，从模仿中找到属于自己的表达节奏。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
