Secrets of a successful speech at the seminar


If you have to speak to the public on a mandatory basis (each student is assigned a report to be defended at a seminar), that's one conversation. If you have been chosen to speak as a representative of your group or the whole faculty at a university or interuniversity conference, then you have an increased responsibility, because all the representatives of the group you represent (faculty, university) will be judged on you.

As you've probably already realized, speaking at a seminar is a demanding endeavor. If you fail, speaking at a responsible seminar like the one we wrote about above, you will not so much embarrass yourself, as you will lower the prestige of your place of study. Of course, you will not be asked out of the institute for this (after all, the student is a student at university for the sake of making mistakes sometimes), but a bad performance will have a negative impact on your further promotion within the university. You will be less often invited to various kinds of events, seminars, conferences, which is not good for your self-esteem...


Well, did you scare me? :) However, we did not set a goal to scare you with the possible failure of your performance at the seminar. We just wanted to make you to treat any public performance responsibly, to eliminate the element of laxity, which is, unfortunately, very widespread among students today.

In fact, in order to speak successfully at the seminar, it is important to consider several aspects. The most important of them is the preliminary preparation. Preparation is almost 100 percent of your success at the performance. Believe it or not, all the great orators and just famous figures (politicians, businessmen) spent hours perfecting and honing their speeches in front of a mirror or something (or someone) in order to make their performance go off without a hitch.


After all, think about what a speech at a seminar is? It is a kind of a result, an examination, a checkup. Here you give out to people the product of your laborious home work. It would be very offensive to fail at the most responsible moment and, therefore, not tell the listeners about your activities. That's why these very politicians and orators have been honing the art of public speaking all their lives.Read any book dedicated to success. You will probably find a whole chapter devoted to public speaking.

By the way, for example, the famous American lawyer and part-time president of the USA Abraham Lincoln could walk from one office to another where his colleagues were working and rehearse his speech aloud. It goes without saying that he also rehearsed in front of the mirror diligently. Another interesting fact about Lincoln - remember that he always walked with a bowler on his head? Well, that's where he kept many of his valuables, including his speech.


If even famous people pay so much attention to rehearsals before speeches, what else can I say?
But let's get back to speaking at the seminar. In order for you to have a clear picture of how to prepare for the speech and in general to know what you usually speak at seminars, we have prepared specially for you a step-by-step instruction in which there is a detailed description of each step that you should overcome in order to successfully make a speech at the seminar.
