2. Intro
• Whether you are presenting in an audio conference,
webinar or webcast, you need to make sure you are an
effective speaker in order to efficiently engage your
audience.
• Some people are great conversationalists, but this doesn’t
always equate to being a good speaker.
• Speaking in front of a large group of people in a meeting
environment can be an intimidating experience.
• Learning how to speak most effectively will ensure the
success of your presentation so you can be sure everyone
receives the message you are trying to portray.
3. The Effect of Group Size
•The size of the group to which you are speaking
during an audio conference or webinar can have a
great impact on the way you speak to when trying
to get your message across.
•If you have ever presented to different group
sizes, you realize how different it can be to speak
to a meeting of five people versus talking to more
than 50 people through webcasts.
•The small intimate experience is often much
easier for people than the larger, less personal
presentations.
•Learning to cater to larger groups is important to
becoming an effective speaker.
4. The Effect of Group Size
•One of the best ways you can learn how to
effectively speak to a larger group is to attend
a live meeting or webcasts that features a
larger audience.
•Any hand gestures should be greatly
exaggerated to make sure everyone can see
them, especially if they are a necessary part of
your presentation.
•Looking all around the room is also critical to
give the impression of an effective speaker.
5. Time and Space Correlation
•It is important for you to realize that speaking is much
different from the way you will write.
•This means you need to pay attention to the fact that an
audio conference, webinar or other online event is often
live.
•Use language that talks to your audience in the present
instead of in the past as writing typically conveys.
•In addition, as a speaker, you will only get one chance to
get your message across and ensure a good first
impression.
•Make use of an outline and notes to increase your
confidence and effectiveness the first time around.
6. Great Writing = Great Speaker?
•While it is always a useful skill to be able to
portray a message clearly and effectively, doing
so in writing doesn’t necessarily carry through to
speaking.
•However, it also doesn’t mean you are doomed
to stick to writing and leave the presenting to
someone else.
•Practice is an essential element to becoming the
most effective speaker possible.
•If you are able to write something that can get
the message across, you only need to study up
on the ways to speak most effectively and begin
implementing them into your presentations.
7. More than Just a Presentation
•Some people mistakenly think they only need to stand up in front of everyone and start
talking.
•You will need to prepare for your presentation, listen and observe other similar
meetings, manage the timing of the presentation and work on being able to properly
control the volume and inflection in your voice.
•Add in the need to balance a slideshow and at least look like you are relaxed and you
will realize how difficult being an effective speaker can be.
8. More than Just a Presentation
•Being able to get your message across in the
most effective manner requires plenty of
practice and learning not what to do.
•When presenting live, don’t just focus on only
those who are in the front of the room, as your
entire audience is your target.
•Take care not to stand in the way of the
screen for your slideshow during a live event
and to control the speed and volume of your
speaking.
•Learn the right balance between keeping to
your time limitations and still leaving time for
answering questions.
9. More than Just a Presentation
•In addition to the content you will portray to
your audience, your webinar or webcast
speaking needs to be exciting.
•The way you speak and present the
information is often just as important, if not
more so, than what you say.
•Try to smile through at least most of the
meeting.
•Even if it is an audio conference, your
audience should be able to hear the smile in
your voice.
10. Closing
•It doesn’t matter if you will be presenting for an
audio conference or online with a webinar or
webcast.
•The impact of the meeting will be directly affected
by whether you are an effective speaker.
•Even if you aren’t a naturally effective speaker, you
with some practice and following these tips, you will
find you are able to make a much greater impact on
your intended audience.
