more pieces of advice 1) Speak from the diaphragm Tom Vizzni
mentions that quite a lot If the voice emanates from the throat or the
nose, you'll sound pathetic To ensure that the voice is diaphragmatic,
press down on your tummy as you practice speaking If you feel it
rumbling, you'll know that you're drawing from the lower levels to vastly
and naturally explode the resonance of your voice You'll sound ooohh so
sexxxy 2) Slouch and you're dead Your posture adds and detracts from
your vocal command Imagine a hidden puppet master perpetually pulling
your strings UPWARDS
7. Try speaking Abe Lincoln's "Four Score and Seven Years Ago" while
standing straight AND slouching like a whipped dog You'll see the
difference DON'T BE LAZY Do it RIGHT now! 3) Pepper your words
with Action words Trash the vague abstractions and passive sentence
structures- people will lapse into trance and space out Say, "Mike
SLAMMED open the door in disgust He seethed with fury " Don't say
"The door was opened my Mike and he was mad
8. " Geez 4) Finally, LISTEN and let PEOPLE speak Communications is
about saying your spiel as fast as you can, then gaining feedback You
and I would hate the speaker who hogs the floor, woudn't we? I walked
out of a Microsoft Convention for Networking Idiots Like Me at the Hotel
Shangri-La because the speaker spoke straight for two hours without a
forum or even a single question thrown at the audience Respect your
listeners by listening and gaining feedback Feedback is gold
ADVANCED LESSONS Okay, from now on, take note of your favorite
anchor people Watch how they report Ask yourself how you could speak
with such charisma, and HOW you can do it even *better
