  3. Getting Started • Why learn to speak in public? • Success in the school/workplace can be tied to a person’s ability to effectively communicate. • Some opportunities are unavailable to people because the opportunity includes a public speaking component. • Ability to address one’s peers allows for the ability to express one’s opinions and concerns. Make a contribution.

  4. The Communicative Act • There are 5 steps in the communication process: • Speaker wishes to communicate an idea • Speaker encodes the idea into a message • Message is sent through a channel to a audience • Audience receives and decodes message • Audience responds to the message.

  5. Breakdown • “What we have here is a failure to communicate” - Cool Hand Luke • A breakdown in communication can usually be tracked down to a missed, altered, or ineffective step in the act of communication. • The speaker, message, channel, and audience are all responsible for the act of communication.

  6. Reasons for Fear • People are often afraid to speak in public because: • Lack of information • Lack of confidence • Nervousness • Embarrassment • Fear of making a mistake • Looking “stupid” • Sounding “stupid”

  7. Confidence • The key to overcoming the fear of public speaking is fostering confidence. • Eye contact with the audience, facial expression, body movement, personal appearance and strength of voice all convey confidence externally. • Knowledge of the subject and proper preparation and mental state breed confidence internally.

  8. Preparation • Preparation is the key to success in a public speaking environment. • Preparing a speech includes determining a purpose of a speech, analyzing the intended audience, gathering information, organizing information and delivery. • Delivery includes not only what is said but how it is said.
