Be Quiet To Keep The Public Speaking Audience Interested

It does take a little more effort to keep a public speaking audience interested in your speech but the rewards are worth it. The next public speaking techniques to keep them interested is:

Use Pauses

In public speaking, as with conversation, your audience will almost always react to silence. It quickly increases their attention, they wonder at the reason for the silence. Use a pause when you wish to emphasize a particular word or idea. A pause gives the public speaking audience time to digest your point before you move on. It also provides a "breather" for your audience as it is hard work to be attentive when being spoken to non-stop.

A pause become ineffective if it is as the result of poor preparation. Another key to keeping a public speaking interested is a properly prepared speech.
