英語演講技巧總集
演講稿的完成只是演講的序幕,要進行成功的演講則要進行嚴格的訓練。下面是小編為大家收集關於,歡迎借鑑參考。
1.做好演講的準備
包括瞭解聽眾,熟悉主題和內容,蒐集素材和資料,準備演講稿,作適當的演練等。
2.選擇優秀的演講者
優秀的演講者包括下述條件:
***1***足夠的權威性;
***2***演講者具有較強的語音能力和技巧:
***3***演講者的熱情;
***4***演講者的理智與智慧;
***5***演講者的儀表狀態
3.運用演講藝術
包括開場白的藝術,結尾的藝術,立論的藝術,舉例的藝術,反駁的藝術,幽默的藝術,鼓動的藝術,語音的藝術,表情動作的藝術等等,通過運用各種演講藝術,使演講具備兩種力量:邏輯的力量和藝術的力量。
4.何謂善用空間的演講
所謂空間就是指進行演說的場所範圍、演講者所在之處以及與聽眾間的距離等等。演說者所在之處以位居聽眾注意力容易彙集的地方最為理想。例如開會的時候、主席多半位居會議桌的上方、因為該處正是最容易彙集出席者注意力的地方。
反之,如果主席位居會議桌之正中央,則會議的進行情況會變如何呢?恐怕會使出席者注意力散漫了,且有會議冗長不休的感覺?因此,讓自己位居聽眾注意力容易彙集之處,不但能夠提升聽眾對於演講的關注,甚至具有增強演說者信賴度權威感的效果。
5.演講時的姿勢如何
演說時的姿勢***posture***也會帶給聽眾某種印象,例如堂堂正正的印象或者畏畏縮縮的印象。雖然個人的性格與平日的習慣對此影響頗巨,不過一般而言仍有方便演講的姿勢,即所謂“輕鬆的姿勢”。要讓身體放鬆,反過來說就是不要過度緊張。過度的緊張不但會表現出笨拙僵硬的姿勢,而且對於舌頭的動作也會造成不良的影響。
決竅之一是張開雙腳與肩同寬,挺穩整個身軀。另一個決竅是想辦法擴散並減輕施加在身體上的緊張情緒。例如將一隻手稍微插***袋中,或者手觸桌邊、或者手握麥克風等等。
6.演講時的視線
在大眾面前說話,亦即表示必須忍受眾目睽睽的注視。當然,並非每位聽眾都會對你報以善意的眼光。儘管如此,你還是不可以漠視聽眾的眼光,避開聽眾的視線來說話。尤其當你走到麥克風旁邊站立在大眾面前的那一瞬間,來自聽眾的視線有時甚至會讓你覺得刺痛。
克服這股視線壓力的祕決,就是一面進行演講;一面從聽眾當中找尋對於自己投以善意而溫柔眼光的人。並且無視於那些冷淡的眼光。此外,把自己的視線投向強烈“點頭”以示首肯的人,對鞏固信心來進行演說也具有效果。
7.演講時的臉部表情
演講時的臉部表情無論好壞都會帶給聽眾極其深刻的印象。緊張、疲勞、喜悅、焦慮、等情緒無不清楚地表露在臉上,這是很難藉由本人的意志來加以控制的。演講的內容即使再精彩,如果表情總覺缺乏自信,老是畏畏縮縮,演講就很容易變得欠缺說服力。
控制臉部的方法,首先“不可垂頭”。人一旦“垂頭”就會予人“喪氣”之感,而且若視線不能與聽眾接觸,就難以吸引聽眾的注意。另一個方法是“緩慢說話”。說話速度一旦緩慢,情緒即可穩定,臉部表情也得以放鬆,再者,全身上下也能夠為之泰然自若起來。
8.有關服飾和髮型
服裝也會帶給觀眾各種印象。尤其是東方男性總是喜歡穿著灰色或者藍色系列的服裝,難免給人過於刻板無趣印象。輕鬆的場合不妨穿著稍微花俏一點的服裝來參加。不過如果是正式的場合,一般來說仍以深色西服、男士無尾晚宴服***tuxedo***、以及燕尾服為宜。其次,髮型也可塑造出各種形象來。長髮和光頭各自蘊含其強烈的形象,而鬢角的長短也被認為是個人喜好的表徵。站出來演講之際,你的服裝、究竟帶給對方何種印象?希望各位好好地思量一番。
9.聲音和腔調
聲音和腔調乃是與生俱來的,不可能一朝一夕之間有所改善。不過音質與措詞對於整個演說影響頗巨,這倒是事實。根據某項研究報告指出聲音低沉的男性比聲音高亢的男性,其信賴度較高。因為聲音低沉會讓人有種威嚴沉著的感覺。儘管如此,各位還是不可能馬上就改變自己的聲音。總之,重要的是讓自己的聲音清楚地傳達給聽眾。即使是音質不好的人,如果能夠稟持自己的主張與信念的話,依舊可以吸引聽眾的熱切關注。
說話的速度也是演講的要素。為了營造沉著的氣氛,說話稍微慢點是很重要。標準大致為5分鐘三張左右的A4原稿,不過,此地要注意的是,倘若從頭至尾一直以相同的速度來進行,聽眾會睡覺的。
FIVE SPEECH STARTING DOs***5要***
1. Use physical activity to get the audience's attention. A theme related physical activity can also help the audience generate a visual image of your topic. Often you can draw on that later in the speech. A speech on the importance of exercise could open with jumping jacks. A speech on child abuse could open with the speaker striking an object with great force.
2. Make a startling statement or present a startling statistic. "Government officials in the United States have murdered 23 American citizens!" might open a speech opposing the death penalty. This type of opening can create a feeling of suspense and anticipation of the statement's justification.
3. Tell a theme related joke. Humor isn't for everyone and it's a little risky if you aren't familiar with the audience, but nothing wins audiences over as much as a good laugh.
4. Provide an apt quotation. In addition to framing the theme of the speech, you can generate credibility by demonstrating that you are familiar enough with the topic literature to have found such an appropriate quotation.
5. Relate a relevant story. Most people give only a few formal public speeches in their lives, yet we all tell stories every day. Telling a story can be a comfortable and natural way to generate momentum for the rest of the speech.
FIVE SPEECH STARTING DON'Ts***5不要***
1. Begin with "Hi, my name is" The sentences most likely to be remembered by the audience are the very first and the very last sentences you utter. Don't throw away the opportunity to do something meaningful in the opening line.
2. Make a false start. Avoid apologies and tentative statements that can put your credibility in question. Some typical phrases to avoid are: "Well, here goes," "Where shall I start?" and "Can you hear me OK in the back?"
3. Use a rhetorical question. Typically they result in an awkward moment. Because the audience is unsure if a response is really desired by the speaker. This can erode your confidence.
4. Go overboard. You want to be creative and innovative in attracting audience attention, but your opening should be consistent with your personality and with the tone of the rest of the speech.
5. Fail to consider how you'll get to the podium. Speaking areas are often crowded and nothing destroys your credibility like tripping on the way to the front of your audience. This happens to someone famous every year!
