It has been written that public speaking is the number 1 fear, even above the fear of dying. Yet, speaking about a topic that you truly love can be a great experience. I host and produce my own television program in which I interview many best selling authors, experts and celebrities in the area of health and wellness. Before we are about to go on the air, many of my guests say to me nervously, "What questions are you going to ask me?" Or, "Are You going to ask questions that I sent to you?" Or even this, "Did you read the book?"

My response to them is to not worry about anything, just act like we are friends talking in your living room. That usually calms them down and we go on to have a great time sharing our thoughts about their book. The point I am attempting to make is to speak about something you really love to do and have fun doing it! If you do this one thing, speak about your subject that you are passionate about, it will be a lot easier than having to force yourself to pick a random topic and try to create a speech around that unintended subject.

For a lot of us, it is like working a job we do not particularly care for. Or being around someone or something because we are obligated to do so. What tends to happen in this situation is we end up resenting the person, job or subject we feel we are obligated to. I know many of you have to work to pay the bills, so if you are doing so, why not do something in your life that you love to do? Especially if you are branching out in the speaking world?

So, there two very important rules to begin this process. Rule number 1 toward becoming a confident speaker is to pick a topic about something you are passionate about. The second rule is to practice that speech until you are comfortable with it and go out and talk about it! Hey, what a concept! Talking about what you love to do!! You do it all of the time and perhaps you do not know that you talk about a subject because it is a part of your everyday life.

I suggest taking out a pad and writing down the things you love to do and talk about. Write these ideas down and you will be surprised at the outcome. You love and know more than you think you do. The demands and obligations of our life usually do a great job of making us suppress our desires and talents in favor of security. Take time for yourself and explore your wants, desires and passions and begin the process of exploring those things that drive you and in the same process become the confident speaker you were meant to become.

Learning to become a Confident Speaker while developing your speaking skills and making your audience feel great and informed about your topic is what becoming a confident speaker is all about.

A Quick Note From The Publisher... If you like the article above, you may be interested in the following article which is also related to Professional Speaker... Choosing a Hot Keyword: Advice for Aspiring Public Speakers When choosing keywords, you’ll want to stay away from using general terms like “speaker,” for example. This will only leave you competing with stereo speakers for a top ten spot in a search engine like Google. Don’t discard the word from your list altogether, but don’t make it number one either. Think about what services you offer. Let’s say you are a customer service speaker in Los Angeles. Some key phrases for you to use might be “customer service speaker” or “customer service trainer.” The best key phrase to use would be “customer service speaker Los Angeles,” the more specific the better. Your audience is trying to locate you, why not give them the easiest possible way to find you? Somewhere, someone is sitting at their desk right now saying “But Tom, I speak all over the world, this technique will limit my business to strictly Los Angeles!” Wrong. Here are some more keyword phrases to help get you started: “customer service speaker San Francisco” “customer service speaker New York”. So what if you don’t live or speak in these places? We are playing the search engine game here, so when someone finds one of these pages, the top could read “Special Discount to Programs in the Las Vegas Area” (or something like that.) You’ll at least get a shot at the business even though some of the people typing in these phrases aren’t looking for you at least your name is out there. *Note: If you want the job and they won’t pay travel expenses, use some of those frequent flyer miles you have been saving up. It just might seal the deal. About the Author Tom Antion provides entertaining speeches and educational seminars.
