Public Speaking

Knowledge may be useless unless it is communicated to others. For most of us, when ever we are called upon to do public speaking, we experience immense feelings of nervousness. Our stomach may churn, our voices may dwindle or we may become shrill and breathless. However, there are techniques which we can also learn from experienced speakers - and the most essential of these, as with every other form of communication transmission, is preparation. Our in class speech presentations were very beneficial to me as I not only gained in confidence but I was also able to discover my own strengths and weaknesses and I have learnt to exploit my strengths and avoid my weaknesses. Few people are born speakers. It is an acquired skill, and everyone is able to acquire it to some degree.
