Tips for Developing Speaking Skills

It is difficult to imagine life without conversations. Formal or informal- speaking is obviously a major requirement in the matter of communication. However, speaking to audience or involving in discussions requires a lot of skill in the use of word and language. Mouth is a medium to talk and respond to what others say.Here are few tips which could be of great help in case you need to develop speaking skills with confidence.

Speak to yourself: I think it's one of the best ways to learn to speak to self before proceeding to talk in public or otherwise. You can sit in front of the mirror and start monologue. Watch out for facial expressions. The way of speaking is different in different circumstances. Look into your eyes, mouth, teeth and cheek and try to understand the differences. Try how to respond to a question asked in a formal environment. Make sure you understand what you speak. Mirror is not only a reflection of self, it also aids in making aware the glitches likely to be faced while facing odd questions.

Speak to friends and colleagues: Sometimes, your introvert nature might hinder reciprocating well under circumstances. You wish to speak but certain inhibitions make you step backwards. Chatting with friends helps in overcoming the initial grudges before mixing in the crowd. Regular interactions not only improve speaking but help understand different nuances and speaking patterns followed in different situations. In fact, interactions are helpful in improving the language too.

Speak to Mother Nature: Sitting in the silence and serenity of Mother Nature and talking to fauna and flora eliminates nervousness. Before preparing for any interview or discussion, you can share your views within your immediate environment. Though no response is received from the other end yet it creates a sense of assurance of dealing with different circumstances. You can even rehearse the dialogues of your theatre play or seminar presentation to develop the poise.

Speak in different environment: If you happen to visit a foreign country or face a situation where you don't know the language of others, learning the language becomes your priority. It is important to understand how to use the language in the best way to communicate with people from other countries. Speaking etiquettes are quite essential so that you don't become a victim of embarrassment. Following the script and use of words in different situations is also important.

Write notes: Writing helps in framing proper and grammatically correct sentences. You can add the vocabulary according to the requirement. Writing prepares you to face the discussion or interview with confidence. It helps in harnessing ideas and creative power in order to generate the best speech.
