How To Be A Public Speaking Star Reviewing Self Help
November 23rd, 2008

Reviewing is a helpful tool that will help you write a good speech. To become a public speaking star you will need a well-structured speech. A well-structured speech along with practice will help you to do a good job at delivering.

As you write your speech you will need to review throughout the process. Reviewing should be done in a short time after the parts of the speech is written. Reviewing can be the most valuable tool you will use while writing your speech. The review will help you to see areas of the speech that you could possibly change.

Reviewing will also help to keep your memory in tune. As you review you can see areas of the speech also that may need editing. It is important to edit your speech so that there are no spelling and grammar errors. If you have spelling or grammar errors it may interrupt your speech as you give it on stage.

While writing your speech if you are unclear of spelling be sure to abbreviate so that you can look the word up later. Better yet while writing the speech keep a dictionary handy so that you can look up words. If you are writing your speech on a computer use the Thesaurus, since it will help you define the words as your write them.

The mission of writing is to work with precision while adding facts in which you can verify. If during the reading and reviewing of your speech you find areas in your speech that is unclear, make sure to note those points and verify them.

While writing the speech, underline areas where keywords stick out in the speech. The keywords are important. If you mark the keywords it will help you to remember what you want to say while giving your speech. IF the speech is an outline and not the finished copy you can make notes on the left-hand side of the page as you review especially if new thoughts come into your mind.

Once you finish your speech you should review it each day so that you can recall your parts, as well as to keep your mind fresh. Likewise, if something else comes to your mind that is useful then you can add the information accordingly.

You can also recite your speech so that you can keep in touch with your words. Use the words you want to point out, i.e. use the keywords. Try to recite the keywords to stay familiar with the points so that on the day you arrive at the speech you will be prepared.

As you finish the note make sure you type it so that it will be easier to read. If you type the speech throughout the process then you are ahead of the game. Still, if you store your speech on a computer make sure to back it up so in case of an emergency.

Also you want to make sure that your mind maps are in place. Review your mind maps to make sure everything is in place; if you notice areas amiss then you can fill in the details.

You should also use PowerPoint so that you can provide visual aids at the presentation. This will help the audience see more into the topic you are discussing. In fact, visual aids leave a lasting impression most times if they are done right. I can remember a man at a meeting giving a speech. His visual aids stood out in mind years later. He was from Africa and showed beautiful pictures of the country with elephants coming off a hill
