(TED-Ed Club presents: Seven Way to Perfect Your Public Speaking)
(Presentation tips from teen TED speakers)
(Tip 1: Talk Slower)
If I had one piece of advice to give to someone who's about to give a talk,
I would say to practice talking slower than you would actually do it and then you'll have a bit of a range to not talk really fast, but not talk really slow, and you'll find that perfect balance.
As long as they are readers willing to devote themselves to any story, the packaging doesn't really matter.
So, remember: Don't forget to read.
It's so much fun.
(Tip 2: Positive Body Language)
Have your shoulders open and relax, and it would make the audience know that you are ready to give your talk and that you know what you're talking about.
We are the generation of problem-solvers; we can come up with better, newer solutions, and it starts simply.
(Tip 3: Leave Your Words on Stage)
To leave your words on the stage so that the audience can soak it in once the conference or your talk is over.
So, be passionate, be emotional, and, um, just... just bring the fire.
My walk, my talk, my swagger, my collar⏤I'll pop it, my kicks' so sick even Jagger Mick couldn't get with.
(Tip 4: Make It a Conversation)
If I had one piece of advice, it would be to have fun with it, to literally just make it as personal as you can.
Treat it like a conversation, treat it like you're having a conversation with the crowd.
Every time you hear someone being talked down to or taken advantage of, you're going to make a decision.
And that role you choose will define you, and, ultimately, define us all.
(Tip 5: Stage Presence)
Really have a stage presence, and, um, to⏤use the full extent of the stage, and really connect with every single member of the audience.
It's really the golden era for innovation, and, so, the question I asked all of you today is:
Why wait? Together, we can build the future today.
(Tip 6: Talk to the Heart)
Connect with the audience's heart⏤I think that's important.
That's when people listen⏤is when you appeal to the part of them that is human, that is emotional.
I trust blindly and I love unconditionally.
And I held my sister's hand in that hospital even though I had no idea what would happen.
(Tip 7: Imagine the Applause)
Imagine that you've already given the talk, and people are applauding and cheering for you, which makes you give a more confident talk.
That would allow you to empower our new generation to go faster than any generation ever has.
Thank you so much.
