Public Speaking Class

The public speaking class is mainly focused on developing the public speaking skills with practices. I joined the class later than other classmates so this week is my second week of the classes. I am kind of person who wants to speak a lot but this is my new school and I do not want to be loudest and outstanding kid in the first month of the school. I try to limit myself on speaking because I do not want to give people wrong first impression about me. However public speaking is definitely hard skill to pick up and I am trying to pick up as much skills I can from this course. Therefore to improve my public speaking skills I need to blend into school better to have more practices. 

Public speaking is difficult because you need to grab everyone’s attention and give them clear massage that you want to deliver. To fulfil that expectation, speaker need to have strong and loud voice to make all the audience to hear my words. speaker will also need body languages to make his words clear but need to be careful with it because too much body language will distract the audience. The natural body language of the speaker will help speaker to be much relaxed also the audience would feel fine with it. Additionally the speaker should try not to have monotone, if speaker keeps talking with monotone, the audience will get bored and be much harder to pick up the words. 

In my case, because English is not my first language I struggle with fluency and pronunciation. However this is not a problem I can easily solve, I need to keep working on improving my english skill to fix this problem. Through my childhood I have been the kid always enjoy talking in front of the audience but I was speaking Korean at that time. If I get much confident with my English skill I think I can perform better quality public speaking.
