We are here to learn about public speaking. We are ready to go. Welcome back. In this episode we are talking about preparing yourself to speak, not a speech. I was just drinking some lukewarm tap water to make sure my voice is okay. You know a lot of speakers talk about rehearsal but concentrate more on preparation. Let me share with you the four areas you need to prepare.
#1 Your mind. Go over all the ideas you want to use. Maybe even read your notes or your script ahead of time, just to refresh your memory.
#2 Body. Get plenty of sleep. Try to eat something protein filled, but not too much.
#3 Voice. Get that tap water. No ice. May be get some Halls and get the throat lozenges warming you up. You can also go in the bathroom and start singing Van Halen at the top of your lungs. That is what I do.
#4 Try to get to the room ahead of time, maybe even the night before. Visualize yourself, engaging the audience. Giving them key points that they can use. If you can visualize it here, it will manifest itself in the real world. These four keys will help you prepare like a pro.
