3. Practice makes perfect

    The best way to improve your public speaking is to practice giving speeches in public. You will find out what you struggle the most with, whether it is maintaining dominant body language, crafting a compelling story or something else. You will also find out the situations in which you might have lost the attention of your audience.

     Before going to the public, you should also practice at home. If you are going to give a presentation, do it as many times as you can at home, in front of the mirror or a camera. Watch yourself in action or rewatch your speech afterward. It is a good way to learn the proper amount of body motion, hand usage and facial expressions.

     If you record your speech, it might be helpful to get feedback from other people. They can point out any problems with your pronunciation and warn you of the body language that might come across negatively to an audience.

     Public speaking is a great skill to have but not an easy one to master. However, by learning the useful techniques, you will acquire the tools and gain the confidence for the next time you need to speak before a group of people.
