Try listening to other expert speakers as much as possible during a speaking event especially the guest speaker since they may be able to provide useful tips while hearing them talk. This could also eliminate redundancy and add more bits and pieces when it is time to speak in front of the audience. This is also done to save a speaker from any embarrassment because the materials of the same kind are at some point used by other speakers.
You should also try to listen to the majority of the audience besides just listening to the other speakers. By knowing the audience, a speaker can have a clearer idea on what is really sought after and what the audience may not like to hear. Below are few tips that you can accomplish before you make that big speech.
Go to the entrance hall and try to mingle with the audience as much as you can when they arrive. One way to remove the tension and put a smile on their faces is by greeting them and it could stay there when the speech begins.
Feel the room. Being familiar with the people and the place can be helpful in knowing the audience type.
Remember that the event has been probably scheduled ahead of time and that people came there to listen so a speaker giving apologies would be the last thing that the listeners would want to hear.
Don't forget to do your research. In order to have some ideas on how to properly talk to them, you need to know who are delivering the speech to and the place where these people came from.
Make sure to study their facial expressions. Their actions as well as the way they tense their muscles would definitely mean that they don't understand what the speaker is saying or they have other questions to support what was earlier spoken even though they may not be saying anything. You need to open the floor for questions if this happens. To start, raise your own hand to invite people with questions.
A speaker who is interesting, very informative, and can provide entertainment is what the audience would especially want. If the audience have questions and if the topic is very sensitive, make sure to understand each and try to answer them in the most informative and non-offensive way as possible. For minor issues, a little keynote for an icebreaker will surely help but you must also put seriousness if the topic calls for it.
Knowing when to halt during the speech is important for a speaker. Practicing the speech at home by using a timer would help a speaker eliminate unnecessary words or phrases during the speech. Unimportant words are not necessary because having his audience end up being bored and not having to understand the speech all together is something he would want to avoid.
