What next?

Speaking Tip #20: Preview the Speech
 

Give the audience a brief overview of what you will be saying.

You will learn how to set goals in three simple steps.

You will learn why drunk driving is such a problem and what we can do to help.

Consider phrasing the overview in "You" terms. Not "I will share", but "You will learn."

Previewing the speech will help your audience remember it and keep their attention.

Delivery Tip #15: Deliver your opening line to a person on the back row. You'll instantly bring the back row into your speech. This will also bring in the rest  of the audience as our eye contact flies over their heads towards the back row. Then we jump into our Figure 8 eye contact pattern or whichever patter you want to use. Combine this public speaking tip with the Hook & Reel Intro and you'll have a powerful opening.

If we fail, we may never fully gain a connection and the audience’s attention. Speaker trainers emphasize the vital importance of having a good speech intro that hooks the audience.

But how can we hook the audience and reel them into our speech?

Tip #4: Use the Hook and Reel Intro

The Hook and Reel Intro is a powerful intro formula which grabs the audiences  attention and reels them right into our speech. Get a free report on the Hook and Reel Intro.
