Process Questions:
What Is It
What is public speaking?
Public speaking can be scary to a lot of people. The fright that you feel every
time you will be asked to speak is unexplainable. Why is public speaking frightening?
Why is it an anxiety-provoking task? In order to achieve a good public speaking
outcome, there some are factors to be considered and preparations to be done.
6
Mental factor. This is what you need in overcoming jitters and uncertainties.

techniques to connect to your audience. Be sure to appear calm and confident and
free of mannerisms.
Vocal factor. Speech patterns are very important to avoid monotone delivery of
your talk. Using different speaking techniques will keep your audience attention.
Verbal factor. Your choice of words and your diction are both essential in
sending appropriate message to your audience. Make sure that the words that you will
be using are understandable and appropriate for your target audience.
Hence, these factors of public speaking will be of great help in your future speaking
tasks and will also give you the confidence to deal with your public speaking anxiety.
Use this challenge as an opportunity to be an inspiration to others to conquer their
fears and be a motivational speaker to those who lack confidence.
Ethics are moral principles that govern a person’s behavior and it is a moral
correctness of a specified conduct.
Ethics of public speaking are the invisible rules and guide or basis of
behavior that a public speaker or an aspiring public speaker should engrave in the
hearts and minds of the listeners. These ethics must be observed to be able to gain
their respect and establish a speaking credibility.
1. You should show respect to your audience. Avoid stereotyping because your
knowledge about your audience is limited. This should be done to avoid offending your
audience. They should be your top most consideration while preparing your talk.
2. Respect their time. Avoid talking too much. Go straight to the point to avoid
boredom among your audience. Start on time and finish on time.
3. You must prepare your speech. Consider the time allotted for your talk in
preparing for you to end on time. Make an outline so you will be guided. Do not be too
wordy and avoid adding language fillers.
4. Honesty will always be the best policy. Be honest to your audience. Never give
them false information or never think of misleading them. Your honesty to your
audience is very important. Deception has no room in public speaking.
5. Avoid plagiarism. Always acknowledge sources and never own someone’s work.
6. Ensure your objective is ethical. Be sure that your talk will be for the good of your
audience and not to your own good and comfort.
7
7. Be yourself. The audience want to know the speaker. Never pretend to be someone
else that you are not. Always remember that public speaking is not acting on the stage.
The audience should see the real you.
If you consider these ethics you will never go wrong and definitely your
audience will long to listen for your next talk.
