9 The art of public Speaking 公共演讲的艺术1. The need for effective public speaking will almost certainly touch you sometime in your life. When it does, you want to be ready. But even if you never give another speech i n your life, you still have much to gain from studying public speaking. Your speech class will give you training in researching topics, organizing your ideas, and presenting yourself skillfully. The training is invaluable for every type of communication.1、在你生活的某个时刻，几乎必定(almost certainly)需要做某种有影响力的(effective)公开演讲。

当这个时刻来到时，你希望自己十分有把握。

但是，即便你在生活中从未发表过一个演讲，你仍然会从学习公共演说中获益良多(gain from)。

你的演讲课将会在研究主题、组织思路和表现技巧方面对你进行训练。

这种训练对任何类型的交流都是非常宝贵的(invaluable)。

2. There are many similarities between public speaking and daily conversation. The three major goals of speaking-to inform, to persuade, to entertain-are also the three major goals of everyday conversation. In conversation, almost without thinking about it, you employ a wide range of skills. You organize your ideas logically. You tailor your message to your audience. You tell a story for maximum impact. You adapt to feedback from your listener. These are among the most important skills you will need for public speaking.2、在公开演讲（public speaking）和日常交谈(daily conversation)之间有许多类似的东西(similarity)。

The Art of Public SpeakingCHAPTER 05 THE VOICEThe dramatic critic of The London Times once declared that acting is nine-tenths voice work. Leaving the message aside, the same may justly be said of public speaking.A rich, correctly-used voice is the greatest physical factor of persuasiveness and power, often over-topping the effects of reason.But a good voice, well handled, is not only an effective possession for the professional speaker, it is a mark of personal culture as well, and even a distinct commercial asset.There are three fundamental requisites for a good voice:1. EaseThe secret of good voice is relaxation. The air waves that produce voice result in a different kind of tone when striking against relaxed muscles than when striking constricted muscles. Try this for yourself. Contract the muscles of your face and throat as you do in hate, and flame out "I hate you!" Now relax as you do when thinking gentle, tender thoughts, and say, "I love you." How different the voice sounds.In practising voice exercises, and in speaking, never force your tones. Ease must be your watchword. The voice is a delicate instrument, and you must not handle it with hammer and tongs. Don't make your voice go--let it go. Don't work. Let the yoke of speech be easy and its burden light.Your throat should be free from strain during speech, therefore it is necessary to avoid muscular contraction. The throat must act as a sort of chimney or funnel for the voice, hence any unnatural constriction will not only harm its tones but injure its health.Nervousness and mental strain are common sources of mouth and throat constriction, so make the battle for poise and self-confidence for which we pleaded in the opening chapter.But how can I relax? you ask. By simply willing to relax. Hold your arm out straight from your shoulder. Now--withdraw all power and let it fall. Practise relaxation of the muscles of the throat by letting your neck and head fall forward. Roll the upper part of your body around, with the waist line acting as a pivot. Let your head fall and roll around as you shift the torso to different positions. Do not force your head around--simply relax your neck and let gravity pull it around as your body moves.Again, let your head fall forward on your breast; raise your head, letting your jaw hang. Relax until your jaw feels heavy, as though it were a weight hung to your face. Remember, you must relax the jaw to obtain command of it. It must be free and flexible for the moulding of tone, and to let the tone pass out unobstructed.All the activity of breathing must be centered, not in the throat, but in the middle of the body--you must breathe from the diaphragm. Note the way you breathe when lying flat on the back, undressed in bed. You will observe that all the activity then centers around the diaphragm. This is the natural and correct method of breathing. By constant watchfulness make this your habitual manner, for it will enable you to relax more perfectly the muscles of the throat.The next fundamental requisite for good voice is2. OpennessIf the muscles of the throat are constricted, the tone passage partially closed, and the mouth kept half-shut, how can you expect the tone to come out bright and clear, or even to come out at all? Sound is a series of waves, and if you make a prison of your mouth, holding the jaws and lips rigidly, it will be very difficult for the tone to squeeze through, and even when it does escape it will lack force and carrying power. Open your mouth wide, relax all the organs of speech, and let the tone flow out easily.Start to yawn, but instead of yawning, speak while your throat is open. Make this open-feeling habitual when speaking--we say make because it is a matter of resolution and of practise, if your vocal organs are healthy.The final fundamental requisite for good voice is3. ForwardnessA voice that is pitched back in the throat is dark, sombre, and unattractive. The tone must be pitched forward, but do not force it forward. You will recall that our first principle was ease. Think the tone forward and out. Believe it is going forward, and allow it to flow easily. You can tell whether you are placing your tone forward or not by inhaling a deep breath and singing ah with the mouth wide open, trying to feel the little delicate sound waves strike the bony arch of the mouth just above the front teeth. The sensation is so slight that you will probably not be able to detect it at once, but persevere in your practise, always thinking the tone forward, and you will be rewarded by feeling your voice strike the roof of your mouth. A correct forward-placing of the tone will do away with the dark, throaty tones that are so unpleasant, inefficient, and harmful to the throat.Close the lips, humming ng, im, or an. Think the tone forward. Do you feel it strike the lips?Hold the palm of your hand in front of your face and say vigorously crash, dash, whirl, buzz. Can you feel the forward tones strike against your hand? Practise until you can. Remember, the only way to get your voice forward is to put it forward.H ow to Develop the Carrying Power of the VoiceIt is not necessary to speak loudly in order to be heard at a distance. It is necessary only to speak correctly. Edith Wynne Matthison's voice will carry in a whisper throughout a large theater. A paper rustling on the stage of a large auditorium can be heard distinctly in the furthermost seat in the gallery. If you will only use your voice correctly, you will not have much difficulty in being heard. Of course it is always well to address your speech to your furthest auditors; if they get it, those nearer will have no trouble, but aside from this obvious suggestion, you must observe these laws of voice production: Remember to apply the principles of ease, openness and forwardness--they are the prime factors in enabling your voice to be heard at a distance.Do not gaze at the floor as you talk. This habit not only gives the speaker an amateurish appearance but if the head is hung forward the voice will be directed towards the ground instead of floating out over the audience.Voice is a series of air vibrations. To strengthen it two things are necessary: more airor breath, and more vibration.Breath is the very basis of voice. As a bullet with little powder behind it will not have force and carrying power, so the voice that has little breath behind it will be weak. Not only will deep breathing--breathing from the diaphragm--give the voice a better support, but it will give it a stronger resonance by improving the general health.Usually, ill health means a weak voice, while abundant physical vitality is shown through a strong, vibrant voice. Therefore anything that improves the general vitality is an excellent voice strengthener, provided you use the voice properly. Authorities differ on most of the rules of hygiene but on one point they all agree: vitality and longevity are increased by deep breathing. Practise this until it becomes second nature. Whenever you are speaking, take in deep breaths, but in such a manner that the inhalations will be silent.Do not try to speak too long without renewing your breath. Nature care for this pretty well unconsciously in conversation, and she will do the same for you in platform speaking if you do not interfere with her premonitions.A certain very successful speaker developed voice carrying power by running across country, practising his speeches as he went. The vigorous exercise forced him to take deep breaths, and developed lung power. A hard-fought basketball or tennis game is an efficient way of practising deep breathing. When these methods are not convenient, we recommend the following:Place your hands at your sides, on the waist line.By trying to encompass your waist with your fingers and thumbs, force all the air out of the lungs.Take a deep breath. Remember, all the activity is to be centered in the middle of the body; do not raise the shoulders. As the breath is taken your hands will be forced out.Repeat the exercise, placing your hands on the small of the back and forcing them out as you inhale.Many methods for deep breathing have been given by various authorities. Get the air into your lungs--that is the important thing.The body acts as a sounding board for the voice just as the body of the violin acts as a sounding board for its tones. You can increase its vibrations by practise.Place your finger on your lip and hum the musical scale, thinking and placing the voice forward on the lips. Do you feel the lips vibrate? After a little practise they will vibrate, giving a tickling sensation.Repeat this exercise, throwing the humming sound into the nose. Hold the upper part of the nose between the thumb and forefinger. Can you feel the nose vibrate?Placing the palm of your hand on top of your head, repeat this humming exercise. Think the voice there as you hum in head tones. Can you feel the vibration there?Now place the palm of your hand on the back of your head, repeating the foregoing process. Then try it on the chest. Always remember to think your tone where you desire to feel the vibrations. The mere act of thinking about any portion of your body will tend to make it vibrate.Repeat the following, after a deep inhalation, endeavoring to feel all portions of your body vibrate at the same time. When you have attained this you will find that it is a pleasant sensation.What ho, my jovial mates. Come on! We will frolic it like fairies, frisking in the merry moonshine.P urity of VoiceThis quality is sometimes destroyed by wasting the breath. Carefully control the breath, using only as much as is necessary for the production of tone. Utilize all that you give out. Failure to do this results in a breathy tone. Take in breath like a prodigal; in speaking, give it out like a miser.V oice SuggestionsNever attempt to force your voice when hoarse.Do not drink cold water when speaking. The sudden shock to the heated organs of speech will injure the voice.Avoid pitching your voice too high--it will make it raspy. This is a common fault. When you find your voice in too high a range, lower it. Do not wait until you get to the platform to try this. Practise it in your daily conversation. Repeat the alphabet, beginning A on the lowest scale possible and going up a note on each succeeding letter, for the development of range. A wide range will give you facility in making numerous changes of pitch.Do not form the habit of listening to your voice when speaking. You will need your brain to think of what you are saying--reserve your observation for private practise.。

英语3分钟presentationLadies and Gentlemen,Good day to you all. Today, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share with you a topic that is very close tomy heart: "The Power of Language in Shaping Our World." Inthe next three minutes, I will be discussing the profound impact that language has on our daily lives, our cultures,and our understanding of the world around us.Firstly, let's consider the role of language in communication. Language is the primary tool we use to express our thoughts, feelings, and ideas. It is the bridge that connects us with others, allowing us to share experiences and knowledge. Without language, we would be unable to convey thecomplexities of our inner world, and the richness of human interaction would be greatly diminished.Secondly, language is a reflection of our culture. Each language carries within it the history, traditions, andvalues of the people who speak it. It is through languagethat we pass on our stories, our beliefs, and our customsfrom one generation to the next. The diversity of languages around the world is a testament to the richness of human culture and the myriad ways in which we interpret andinteract with the world.Moreover, language is a powerful tool for learning anddiscovery. It enables us to explore new ideas, to ask questions, and to seek answers. The development of language has been instrumental in the advancement of science, technology, and the arts. It is through language that we can document our findings, share our insights, and collaboratewith others to build upon the knowledge of the past.In addition, language has the power to inspire and to influence. Great speeches, literature, and poetry have the ability to move us emotionally, to challenge our perspectives, and to inspire us to action. The words we choose can uplift, motivate, or even change the course of history.However, language is not without its challenges. Language barriers can lead to misunderstandings and can hinder collaboration. The loss of languages, due to globalizationand other factors, is a significant concern, as it represents the loss of unique cultural perspectives and knowledge.In conclusion, language is a fundamental aspect of our human experience. It is through language that we connect with others, express our identities, and shape our world. As we continue to navigate the complexities of our global society,it is essential that we value and preserve the diversity of languages, and strive to bridge the gaps that languagebarriers can create.Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to any questions or discussions that may arise from this presentation.。

经典英语演讲三分钟7篇经典英语演讲三分钟 (1) during his presidency, bill clinton seized important opportunitieson issues from welfare to free trade. he was a tireless champion of peacein the middle east. he used american power in the balkans to confrontaggression and halt ethnic cleansing. and in all his actions and decisions,the american people sensed a deep empathy for the poor and the powerless.shortly before leaving office, president clinton said, "christ admonishedus that our lives will be judged by how we do unto the least of ourneighbors." throughout his career, bill clinton has done his best to liveup to that standard. and americans respect him for it. at every stage ofhis remarkable life, president clinton has made and kept countless friends,who share in the joy of this day. and three people in particular have thelargest part in this remarkable story. one day more than 30 years ago,inside the yale law library, a fellow student walked over to bill clintonand said, "if you're going to keep staring at me, and i'm going to keepstaring back, we ought to at least know each other's name. mine's hillaryrodham. what is yours?"that was a good day for both of them, and thebeginning of a partnership unique in american history. so today, we honorthe former first lady of arkansas, the former first lady of america, theunited states senator from new york, senator hillary rodham clinton.perhaps the clintons' greatest achievement is their daughter, whomoved into the white house as a young girl, and left as an accomplishedyoung lady. it's not easy to be a teenager in the white house, but it'sa lot easier when you have a loving mother and a loving father that chelseaclinton had.this magnificent presidential library, and the american life itcelebrates, would not have been possible without the love and sacrificeof a special lady. among his heroes, president clinton always includeshis mother, virginia kelley, "a working woman and a widow." virginia wasthere when her son took the oath of office, and we know that she wouldbe incredibly proud of this day.the story that began in a little house on hervey street in hope,arkansas is the kind of story that inspires people from every background,all over america. in this great nation, it is always possible for a childto go as far as their talent and vision can take them. visitors to thisplace will be reminded of the great promise of our country, and the dreamsthat came true in the life of our 42nd president. the william j. clintonpresidential library is a gift to the future by a man who always believedin the future. and today, we thank him for loving and serving america.经典英语演讲三分钟 (2) internet civilizationgood afternoon, ladies and gentleman! first iwant to say is that i’m very proud of to be invited to to present my topichere, which is “ internet civilization”.before i begin my topic, pleaseallow me to ask you a question: every time you click the mouse to surfthe web, do you know what does it mean?on the net, you can make friendsoverseas and call them with ip phones; you can get information from allover the world; you can even give a hand to some people in troubles andget help when in need.however, we have to admit that internet also leadsto intimacy before acquaintance; it scatters secrets outwards, notinwards; and, most worrying of all, it is a vehicle for liars.here weshould see, there exists good and evil, right and wrong on the web.as netizens, we’d better grow to realize the importance of internetcivilization.just as the famous saying goes “long and steep is the pathto virtue.” many people advocate that we should be sincere, honest andresponsible in our society—the real world.now, what i want to add is that we also should obey the primary moralprinciples in this virtual world.all of my dear friends here, on theinternet, which role did you play? which role are you playing? and whichrole will you play?thank you very much!经典英语演讲三分钟 (3) transpositonal considerationGood afternoon, Ladies and Gentleman.Thanksfor raising your attention.

公共演讲的艺术与技巧In the realm of communication, public speaking stands as a towering edifice, a testament to the power of the human voice. It is not merely a means of sharing information but also an opportunity to captivate, persuade, and inspire. This essay aims to delve into the intricacies of public speaking, unpacking its essential elements and offering practical tips for those aiming to master this craft.The foundation of any successful public speaking endeavor is preparation. As the saying goes, "by failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail." Thorough research on the topic, understanding the audience's background and interests, and practicing the speech repeatedly are crucial steps. This preparation ensures that the speaker is confident, knows the material inside out, and is ready to adapt to any unexpected situation.Beyond preparation, the art of public speaking hinges on three pillars: clarity, engagement, and delivery.Clarity refers to the ability to convey ideas and information in a concise and understandable manner.Avoiding jargon and using examples, anecdotes, and visual aids can enhance clarity. Engagement, on the other hand, is about connecting with the audience, making them feel included and interested. Eye contact, smiles, and an approachable demeanor are essential tools for engagement. Delivery, the final pillar, encompasses the speaker's tone, pace, and physical presence. A confident, animated delivery can captivate the audience and bring the content to life. Conversely, a monotone or sluggish delivery can bore the audience and deflate the impact of the message.Moreover, it's important to remember that public speaking is a two-way street. Interaction with the audience is crucial, as it keeps them engaged and allows for feedback. Listening to the audience, acknowledging their questions and comments, and adapting the speech accordingly are hallmarks of a skilled speaker.In conclusion, public speaking is much more than just speaking in public. It's an intricate dance between the speaker and the audience, a performance that requires meticulous preparation, clarity, engagement, and an engaging delivery. By mastering these elements, anyindividual can transform a simple talk into a powerful, transformative experience.**公共演讲的艺术与技巧**在沟通的领域中，公共演讲犹如一座巍峨的建筑，是人类声音力量的有力证明。
