不要躲藏
Unless you are Bono, Oprah, or the President, you have no reason to hide before you speak and every reason to mingle, letting people know that you are interesting and personable BEORE you take the stage. Aim to connect with individuals and build a following before you address your audience as a whole.
除非你是bono ,oprah 或者是總統(tǒng),在社交場(chǎng)合你都沒(méi)理由在你說(shuō)話(huà)之前就藏起來(lái),抓住機(jī)會(huì)站到臺(tái)上讓人們都知道你是個(gè)有趣的人。在你把一大群人變成你的聽(tīng)眾之前,應(yīng)當(dāng)多與人交流。
2.Do Not Write a Boring Intro and Have a Boring Person Read It
不要做過(guò)多的自我介紹
Your audience already has some idea of who you are, so skip the boring LinkedIn bio facts. When deciding what to include, ask yourself why your biomatters to this group of people. Keep it short and sweet, including only the most pertinent information of why they should care about who you are and what you have to say.
你的聽(tīng)眾都知道你,因此直接縮短這段無(wú)聊的自我介紹環(huán)節(jié)。當(dāng)你決定好了說(shuō)什么,問(wèn)問(wèn)你自己為什么要對(duì)著這群人說(shuō)。帶著感情挑重點(diǎn)說(shuō),說(shuō)些和為什么他們應(yīng)當(dāng)知道你是誰(shuí)、你必須要說(shuō)的內(nèi)容相關(guān)的。
3. Do Not Slowly Stroll Onto the Stage
不要在舞臺(tái)上閑晃
Unless you are really, REALLY famous, no one is getting a thrill out of viewing your entry. So, just get there. Fast. As humble as you may actually be, even appearing to take your time to get on stage can come off as self-important. And, if the applause after you’ve been introduced has dwindled or completely stopped before you get to center stage, you (and your entire audience) can practically taste the awkward in the room.
如果你不是特別的有名,沒(méi)人愿意看你在舞臺(tái)上自我陶醉。因此,請(qǐng)快些的走到舞臺(tái)上。盡可能的謙虛,甚至是用時(shí)間來(lái)表現(xiàn)出來(lái)。要是在你做完自我介紹后掌聲就開(kāi)始小了,甚至當(dāng)你走到舞臺(tái)中心就沒(méi)有了,那么你(和你的聽(tīng)眾)就是在互相看不慣。
4. Do Not Start with "Thank you very much. It’s such a pleasure to be here".
不要以“非常感謝,站在這里是我的榮幸”開(kāi)始
This was an entirely acceptable way to begin public speaking the first ten million times it was done. We are now past that mark and opening with this line is akin to saying: "Thank you for hearing me say something that you are now not listening to at all." Starting with this line is the best way to make your audience members check their Twitter or Instagram accounts within the first 10 seconds of your speech.
這類(lèi)說(shuō)法完全是被人說(shuō)過(guò)千萬(wàn)遍的開(kāi)場(chǎng)白。現(xiàn)在我們不必再用這些話(huà),說(shuō)點(diǎn)像:“感謝你在這里聽(tīng)我說(shuō)些你可能不是很贊同的話(huà)。”用這些話(huà)來(lái)做開(kāi)場(chǎng)白,就是讓你的聽(tīng)眾在你開(kāi)始講話(huà)的10秒內(nèi)就上網(wǎng)的最好方式。
5. Do Not Say, "Good morning!" …Wait for a Response, and Then Say, "Oh, Come On, You Can Do Better Than That!"
不要說(shuō),“早上好,”然后在等著她們給些回應(yīng)后,再說(shuō),“哦,加油,你可以做得更好!”
You are not your audience’s mom. You are not at summer camp. (And if you are, your audience better be under the age of 12 for this line to work.) This phrase was effective exactly one time and that was in 1964 when Art Linkletter said it. Ever since then, it’s been annoying as heck.
你不是他們的母親。你也不是在夏令營(yíng)。(如果是夏令營(yíng),那么這些話(huà)最好是說(shuō)給還不到12歲的孩子聽(tīng)。)這類(lèi)話(huà)在當(dāng)時(shí)以及1964年藝術(shù)聯(lián)系信中是會(huì)很有效,此后,那就變得跟真見(jiàn)鬼一樣的令人煩。
6. Do Not Show a Text-Heavy PowerPoint Image Right Off the Bat
不要使用太多的及時(shí)幻燈片
No one wants to both see AND hear your words. If you are wearing a mic and are on a stage, this is your cue to aim for more words heard than seen. Don’t try to cram a bunch of text onto each slide; instead, choose simple, powerful visuals that complement your verbal message.
沒(méi)人愿意邊聽(tīng)邊看。要是你在臺(tái)上沒(méi)使用小話(huà)筒,那么你潛意識(shí)里就是希望他們多看你講的內(nèi)容。每張幻燈片上不要放太多內(nèi)容,相反地,你應(yīng)該選些容易理解的,另外好的視圖還會(huì)幫你補(bǔ)充你的說(shuō)話(huà)內(nèi)容。
7. Do Not Read Your Entire Speech From Your Notes, Verbatim
不要逐字逐句的讀你所要教授的內(nèi)容
Public speaking is an art. You need to practice. Take video of yourself practicing, watch it, make note of your mistakes, and then practice some more. Imbed your message into your head and your speaking style into your body so that when you are on stage, you will be freed up to speak more from your heart than your head. Anyone can read a speech out loud—don’t be "anyone"; be someone worthy of the public speaking opportunity you have.
在公眾場(chǎng)合講話(huà)是門(mén)藝術(shù),應(yīng)當(dāng)多加練習(xí)。邊練邊錄,觀看時(shí)記錄下自己做的不夠好的地方,再加以練習(xí)。在臺(tái)上時(shí)先打好腹稿,然后再按你自己的講話(huà)方式講出來(lái)。講話(huà)隨心比先想后講更輕松。每個(gè)人都可以大聲的讀演講—不要成為那樣的那個(gè)人。要做那個(gè)能在公眾面前有機(jī)會(huì)演講好的那個(gè)人。
