Public speaking Techniques To Overcome Bad Habits

Here are 2 bad habits you may have that can distract an audience and 2 public speaking techniques to help prevent them becoming a problem

When you are first starting out you may have some traits that are annoying to your audience such as twitching, grimacing, handling your nose or tugging at your lips. These can eventually drive your listeners to distraction. Keep your hands light clasped at waist height when you are not gesturing.

You may also have the habit of moving back and forward across the stage - almost like a panther on the prowl. The best way to prevent this is to look at your audience as one composite person and speak to that person.

It is by applying the techniques outlined you will soon become a more effective public speaker.
