It was speech of hardly 2 pages n am practicing it from last 6 days…. I was in anchoring committee for our Annual seminar. The committee head gave me script n i have to give vote of thanks for our chief guest.
The following things I have learned from experience of anchoring from those 7 days. No doubt I spoke well in annual function on 19th JAN. But if u wants to deliver fluent speech without any barrier u should read this.
1. Confidence. Be Confident. Don’t lose u r maintained level of CONFIDENCE. In that case OVERCONFIDENCE will do. Confidence has huge impact on u r GESTURE n POSTURE n u tone of speeking.
2. Most Important thing is “EYE CONTACT”. (I was scolded thousand times by senior’s n faculty members for this reason. (Sid, don’t read. Look at audience, Even my senior friend told me to move eyes only instead of moving head)……. For whole speech u should see @ all audience for more than half time.
3. Adjust mike according to u r voice pitch n quality. (Also for tone). Don’t use fillers in u r speech.
4. Make u r script (Vote of thanks, Introduction of guest whatever it may b) proper without any mistake(use proper designation of guests, Dr., Sir, Mrs, Mr………otherwise…..u will b culprit for that event by u r management)
5. Take proper pauses between speech n always try to make u r pronunciation more clear,(Don’t CHEW CHEWGUM ….. Lesson from my past EXPRI)
U must do anchoring at least once in u r college life. My Experience was too good. Climb step of dais, n then u will be in new world, World which is overflowed by confidence n full of experience, enjoyment. (BACKSTAGE ENJOYMENT!!!!!!).
GO n SPEAK.
P.S -Whatever I scribbled is my views n opinion according to my knowledge n experience. May b u all are the good orator….buts it’s what I think sincerely.
