Public Speaking (Indonesia MUN: Open House Session Part 3)

When you have any ideas/opinions, don't be so sure about it; don't think that your ideas are absolutely right. Try to compromise with other delegates' ideas. If you don't agree in their ideas, say it in the most diplomatic way. Try to avoid attacking other people's opinions because every opinion should be respected.

How to Manage Your Audience

Break the ice. You could do it by telling jokes (preferably intelligent jokes) or you could probably tell your interesting experiences.

The audience come with expectations that they'd get something from you, so try to fulfill their expectations and give them your best efforts. Persuade them to do good things you've told them during your session.

Your goal is to have your audience moved by your speech. You could make them happy, sad, or anything - it all depends on how you move them. You should also influence your audience because influencing other people to do your advise is another important goal of public speaking.

Pause after a long speech. Give time to the audience to understand and absorb what you just talked about.

2. Take public speaking seriously. By mastering public speaking, we're a step colser to understand how to communicate with other people. Gain as much knowledge as possible. Don't talk about sensitive issues (especially the taboo ones).
