If you are starting a new project and wanted to tell the world, you may find yourself like me tweeting, posting, go live, email blasting, and now blogging about your new project. Passionate and self-absorbed with tunnel vision eye goggles on, you would only see the finish line, yet the finish line is only the starting line for a year-long project. That is the journey I’m embracing this year, and I hope you will embark on this journey with me.
The newly created YouTube channel iTalkDEO is dedicated to public speaking. Public speaking is a passion of mine from the early years as a corporate/college instructor to the present as a professional entertainer. My journey is to share examples of speaking techniques, tips, and strategies on how to enhance your communication while mixing in balloon entertainment.
Along the journey, I give examples on:
- Fingers as bullet points
- Hand gestures
- Eye contact, Voice inflection
- Pause
- Movement for a purpose
- Opening statement
- Closing statement
- Dialog
- You focus
- Props
- Body movement
- Inner dialog
- Varied speech rate
- Word selection
- Facial expression
- Goals and organization
- Transitions
- Using Acronym’s
- Jargon
- Supporting Points
- Visual aids
- Logical reasoning
- Storytelling
- Using notes
- Grammar
- Topic relevant to the audience
- Understanding & expressing audience feelings
- Using quotes
- Character development
- Writing speakers directions into a script
