[@Speakconfidentenglish]

You're so welcome!

[@bobpolyglot452]

You have also to manage your time in speaking about some topics. You have to simulate with colleagues your presentation before meeting the audience. Take un account their comments for improvement. Finally, thanks as akways fir your kind advices

[@j.a-dery753]

It pays to be here. Thanks.

[@stellaguo9225]

Thank you Annemarie for the fantastic lesson. I find it useful to ask an engaging question or share a fun fact at the beginning of the presentation. By doing that, you not only set the tone for the entire presentation as a friendly communication but also keep your audience amused and engaged.

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

You're welcome! Asking engaging questions and sharing a fun fact are both excellent choices to keep the audience listening.👏

The best teacher ever. Thank you dear Annemarie for these great tips. You’re brilliant ♥️

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thanks so much, Claudia! I hope you are well.

[@p.r.7776]

Great advices! I feel the most challenging part for me is not only the public speaking skills, but also English itself. I can prepare a speech in advance but I am always worried about what if someone asked an unexpected question. Even if I could figure out how to answer the question per se, I probably couldn’t find the right sentences and words to express myself. For that reason, sometimes I rush my speech on purpose so that the audiences don’t have time to think and ask😂

[@josephaboudeeb5665]

Hello teacher. Thank you for the lesson. Great as usual! Of the most challenges I face when making a presentation is to know how to balance between the time given and the content of the presentation, and when a discussion takes place between the audience during the presentation (which consumes the time of the presentation) and I don't how to stop it and continue with my presentation. Thank you.

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thank you! I'm glad this was helpful. And thank you for also sharing some of the key challenges. I will certainly consider sharing how to address these challenges in future lessons. In the meantime, using Tip 1 from this lesson (know your audience) can help limit the content. As for conversation during the presentation, I would recommend letting your audience know there will be a discussion at the end rather than inviting discussion during the presentation if that is possible for your situation.

[@josephaboudeeb5665]

It is not a matter of inviting; sometimes the discussion emerges suddenly.@@Speakconfidentenglish

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

I would recommend letting the audience know that all discussions/questions should wait until the end and, at that time, you'll invite discussion.

[@antoniotarantini1114]

Annemarie, you should teach native English speaker how to talk...you speak so clearly! Thank you for the amazing lesson. Ciao from Italy🇮🇹

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thank you for the kind comment, and thank you for watching my lessons.

[@parveenchauhan5132]

I believe integrating a story in public speaking helps us to engage with the audience. Moreover, body language and dressing sense is also important.

[@geo-33-live]

My advice would be decide which points have more importance for you. Try to put across your arguments but at the same time show flexibility and maybe eagerness to find out in which way your interlocutors differentiate to you. In the end try to make an effort that the audience retain the main points of your presentation and what is its driving force. If you are a bit of a joker try to spice up your lecture with jokes and comic gestures that can put at ease your audience and make it more prone to pay attention.

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Wonderful advice. Thank you for sharing.

[@estudiostecnicos2001]

Dear Anne Amarie, wonderful video, as always, we can grow professionally based on your hints. I usually try to "break the ice" before start a presentation, I mean, I often bring to the table the difficulties, the odd of the situation and so on, of course, it depends on the context, but I found the better presentation begins if the presenter and audience are connected in some way

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thank you for your comment (and thank you for watching my lesson!). I totally agree with you. It sets a much better tone and helps everyone relax if you're able to break the ice in some way at the start. Do you have any go-to ice breakers?

[@estudiostecnicos2001]

Thank you for your kind answer. If the presentation is informal, I try some kind of joke about recent news (avoiding politics, religion, or any potential offensive issue). If the presentation is formal and the audience is unknown I try some common places like the so cold day or such a nice city where the event takes place or the exciting themes shall addressed in the conference@@Speakconfidentenglish

Insightful talk !! Any TOP books suggestions to read for on this topic according to your wisdom ?

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thanks for the question. There are many books on public speaking however I'm not aware of a specific one that covers this topic.

[@sunvaj6754]

The speaker should speak laud enough so everyone can hear.

[@stillwatersrundeep2438]

Good day to you Annemarie. Excause me, may I ask you a question, please? Are you able or general speaking, are Americans able to understand Britain's Idioms, phrase verbs or slang? Thank you so much.😊 ❤

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Interesting question. We certainly can if we are familiar with the particular idiom/phrasal verb/slang. Or if we understand the context in which it is used. However, there are certainly instances when we are not able to understand. In fact, there are regions within the United States that might have common idioms I am unfamiliar with and might not understand right away. This is true for slang as well.

[@alwayslearningslowly]

Hi, I have to give the presentation in English. I am not a native English speaker, and my topic is also complex. So, I am afraid that the audience is going to be confused in my explanation. If this happens, then the situation will be terrible.

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thank you for commenting. I hope that after having watched the video, you feel that you've gained some new skills. To help you prepare I would recommend reviewing some of my other lessons on public speaking. Here is a link to the video library on my website, www.speakconfidentenglish.com/category/public-speaking-presentations/

A good public speaker makes the audience laugh to break the ice and to relax people

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Yes, this is definitely a useful way to start a presentation. Thank you for sharing.

[@siavashkhazali5842]

Disinterested does not mean uninterested! Disinterested means impartial, fair or unbiased. A judge is supposed to be disinterested, but not uninterested!

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thank you for the comment. Certainly disinterested means to be impartial. It also means not having interest, feeling no interest, or no longer having interest, as used here.

[@siavashkhazali5842]

@@Speakconfidentenglish Not to the careful users of language.

[@sepehrAmirkiaee]

As a suggestion, I would like to mention in public speaking don't do anything spontaneously and without any plan. It's risky and can ruin your presentation and distract you easily. For example, sometimes you try to be funny but, your words could be offensive.

[@antoniotarantini1114]

Golden advice! Especially if you are a beginner!
