How can I Move people with my speech?

Answer 1

I assume you mean emotionally, and not physically. If that's the case it takes charisma. You can take speech classes and build up your confidence, and you might have enough charisma to really begin affecting people. Overall though, some people seem to just be instilled with charisma, and others not.

-Best wishes on the moving though

Answer 2

Firstly, join a group like Toastmasters http://www.toastmasters.org/. They can tell you these tips and many more and give you a place to practice them.
Something that comes with this is speaking in a powerful tone and becoming able to form quick, accurate explanations/sentences specific to audience questions on the spot (as opposed to "scripting" the entire speech, which makes it more boring).

Secondly, know your audience. If you've seen the Adam Sandler movie "Overboard", you know his problem as a stand-up comedian is that he doesn't make a joke from the audience's perspective. Same goes for any type of "speech"...you benefit from, for example, describing how frustrating yet rewarding teaching disabled kids can be if you are advocating that.

Third, like an another user said, don't get long-winded keep it short. Quick but comprehensive jokes and reflecting on the experiences of others along with audience interaction help here immensely. Don't try too hard to emphasize what a professional you are (and what an ego you may have), instead, empathize with the audience.

Lastly, do you examples from other experts in your field. Everytime you referrence what it both says you are thinking outside your own bias and that you know what you are talking about (without getting egotistic about your own credentials).
A side note, if you are building off the work of experts, it's easy to have THE CONFIDENCE YOU NEED...after all, if they insult your informed takes on that material, they have to indirectly insult the experts, which they are likely smart enough not to do regularly.
On top of that though, do be innovative, make points that go a step deeper than the experts' do (without conflicting with their logic) and give real life explanations of their implications.

Best luck!

Answer 3

well it's helps if you loosen everyone up to begin. I'm not sure what your atmosphere will be, so it's hard to give advice. Most of the time starting off with a joke or casual words to loosen people up and they will feel more comfortable with you. Do it with wit and keep everything in order and understandable. It's better if you don't sound rehearsed. If it comes from the heart. I wish I knew what your subject was.
That's about all I can tell you- Heart-Soul-Wit-Humor- all help to make a good moveable speech. If you tell a personal experience so people get to feel like they know you a little, that helps too. Good Luck and I Hope You Do well. I wish I could Hear it. Your asking the question shows your sincerity and care.They are important too!

Answer 4

You could, for example, learn about NLP neuro-linguistic progamming) which has lots of ideas about effective communication.

There are other techniques you can learn about, of course, but this is as good a place to start as any.

Just one thing:

Any effective communication technique can be used to manipulate or to persuade. Manipulation may seem like the more appealing option, to some people, until they realize that manipulation is more than likely to leave you worse off than before you started because, as the old saying goes:

You can fool some of the people all of the time,
And all of the people some of the time,
But it's very rare indeed to find a person who can fool all of the people all of the time.

Answer 5

You can use aggression, like put power into your main points of your speech. And plus, add the negative parts if this and that didn't happen, and it helps to exaggerate with your voice =)

Answer 6

The more passionately you feel about your topic the better you may be in expressing yourself. This, in turn, can help you to "speak from the heart". That is the best way I can think of to move people with your speech.

Good Luck.

By hypnotising them with one's rhetorics, though one may sound lacking in sincerity or honesty as such an approach is mainly aimed at convincing, impressing and persuading the audience rather than informing them! This has been my well-proven successful public speaking tool for years!
