About speaking in public

Why are some people super cool and good at speaking in public and why others struggle and simply suck?

I always thought it was a matter of character and personality but the more I go on and the more I figure it depends also on training and structure. I myself always thought I was good at public speaking just because I am reckless enough to not think too much about the audience and responsibility but simply go there and have people be interested in what you're saying. I was decent, not good and with some courses I managed to become better. I am not the female version of Steve Jobs yet.

So you don't need to despair if you feel you suck at presenting and speaking in public. With a little bit of training you can become a great public speaker. There are tons of ways to improve your public speaking capabilities, you'd need to:

  • Subscribe to an organization near you teaching public speaking. You can refer to your city's university and you're done.
  • Expand your vocabulary. Read and talk and write about what you read.
  • Take a course and get documented about body language and voice control. An acting course is an option.
Mmm, I think I'll start from the vocabulary part...
