Common Speaking Mistakes To Avoid

每当我去学术会议时，我都必须坐在一187金宝搏beat亚洲体育些可怕的会谈中。它继续让我惊讶，这么多人犯错误，这很容易避免。这里有几个我在过去两天内注意到了。

Spend first two minutes apologizing

I understand the impulse to apologize. I really do. But the audience does not want to hear it. Don’t apologize for your slides, your talk, your name, your title, you not being the first author, etc. It’s just a waste of time and makes me pay less attention.

如果你给出一个演示而出现问题，这也是如此。Even just mumbling under your breath can be distracting, and you’d be surprised how many people never even notice that you clicked the wrong button, etc. It’s much smoother and looks much better if you just calmly keep going rather than apologizing for some tiny mistake.

“欢迎我的谈话！”

令人惊讶的常见的事情在他们的谈判开始时说。这听起来很糟糕。当您在会议中的第三个发言者时，它更糟糕，并且您刚刚被主席介绍。

您’ve probably prepared your talk, so why haven’t you thought of an opening? I’ve gotten some speaker training, and what the trainers want you to do is write out your opening. You’re not supposed to write the entire talk, just the first few sentences. That helps quite a bit, because you see in writing just how terrible your opening is. But it’s easy to change, and because you’ve written it, you’ll remember. You can also put it on the notes in your presentation (assuming you’re using the presenter view, which you really should).

还有什么要说的，而不是“欢迎”？怎么样“你好！”，“我的名字是......”，“四个得分和七年前......”等等。介绍你的共同作者，特别是如果椅子没有这样做或者只是通过他们的名字嘟。从问题陈述开始。停止浪费时间并到达您的内容！一个强大的开放意味着人们会从一开始时关注你，而不是盯着他们的笔记本电脑，希望你的谈话很快就会过来。

“I think we can get started”

这是会话主席/工作室组织者版本“欢迎来到我的谈话”。这意味着你没有花一秒钟考虑你将如何开放会议。你只是对自己喃喃自语。你的第一个通过扬声器的单词是无意义的德国的。

为什么不开始合理的东西，如“欢迎！”（在这种情况下它有意义！）？想到一个开口并不难。首先对讲习班的动机说一些有意义的事情，你希望解决或至少讨论的问题，这是一种不仅仅是你内在的独白意外重定向到外面的内心的问题。

说太柔软

Many people seem to think that just because there’s a microphone somewhere in the vicinity, they can just whisper or mumble and it’ll all magically turn into great sound. It doesn’t. Quite the opposite, in fact: your low voice sounds shaky and terrible over the loudspeakers.

你必须对着麦克风说话,project your voice. Any speaker trainer will tell you to speak up, speak up, louder! Louder! LOUDER!

It makes a huge difference, too. Not only will the microphone pick you up much better, you sound much better. And when you speak louder, your voice is much more stable and sounds more confident. People will pay attention to a loud, clear voice. No amount of amplification can make up for your unmodulated murmur.

Speak without a microphone

有一个麦克风。在你使用之前的人。现在你只是用麦克风猛击到侧面。为什么？

我不明白为什么人们这样做。当他们紧张地听到你或者根本听不到你的声音时，你如何期望观众要注意？你最不能做的是确保人们在他们的耳朵里获得足够的声能，以便能够理解你。没有那个，你没有说重要。

你不仅要能够发言，你必须学会​​听扬声器。如果你没有听到扬声器的听力，那么观众可能不能。它需要一点经验，但对此并不困难。通过去空房间尝试（开启A / V）并谈论一分钟。倾听你自己声音的声音。让你对你说话的延迟感觉，声音来到你身边。它会给你信心，如果事情有没有必要询问观众并希望有人回应，你就可以讲述。

No modulation, no pausing

除了不够大声说话之外，很多人都没有调制他们的声音。这对非常短的会谈并不重要，但是超过几分钟的任何东西都变得非常无聊和疲惫不堪。

This is usually a sign of a speaker who’s nervous or unprepared. But this doesn’t help the audience at all. It just means that the monotonous sound of your voice is lulling the audience to sleep – or, more likely, becomes background noise to whatever they’re doing on their laptops.

相反，用你的声音做一些东西。将其提升到点。这个很重要！看！在这里注意！我现在问一个问题吗？你能告诉？看看如何调制一切差异，即使你只是读这些话？

另一个策略演讲者培训师将告诉您了punching words。您punch该重要话。Even当他们是不重要， 你还在punch该m只是because。The result is that there’s a lot more going on in your voice and people are basically forced to pay attention.

同样，许多人似乎相信他们不断生产噪音，以保持观众参与。相反是真的。暂停是强大的。停止交谈一会儿，人们会从他们的电子邮件中查找，想知道刚刚发生了什么。安静。一阵风。一眨眼。

暂停也有助于强调一个点。你暂停给出点空间。如果你只是继续沮丧，它就迷失在其他东西中。

想一想。本段中的每个时期都是短暂的暂停。阅读它。暂停。呼吸。调制。它需要一些练习，但它不难学习，而且每一点都有巨大的差异。

“That’s it!”

您haven’t thought about how to start your talk, so of course you have no idea how to end it. You could just stop talking and stare at the audience in awkward silence. That would at least be entertaining. But instead, you say something idiotic like “That’s it!” or “I’m done!”.

There is an obvious alternative to that, and it’s a simple “Thank you!” Everybody will understand that that means your talk is over. It’s polite and makes sense. You can also say “Thank you for your attention!” or “Thank you, and I’m looking forward to your questions!” or similar.

夫妇与最终幻灯片具有您的姓名，谈话标题和联系信息，也许是一个有意义的图像（它是可视化, use some pictures!) and there won’t be an awkward silence or confusion, just roaring applause.

通过观看人来学习

People are always on my case for being negative, but you can learn a lot by observing when you don’t like a talk. If you’re just sitting there, bored to tears, try to figure out what the speaker is doing wrong. Then watch yourself: are you doing the same things?

当然，您也需要观看善良的人并从中拿起技巧。但我实际上发现观看坏事和诚实地问自己的更多有用：我多久这样做？我该怎么办才能避免这种情况？我怎样才能做得更好？

而已。我已经完成了我的帖子。
