Do you have lots of
Do you have lots of great ideas but need a little help finding evidence to support them-this one's for you.
THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBLIC SPEAKING AND EVERYDAY CONVERSATION IS THAT GIVING A SPEECH REQUIRES A LOT OF PREPARATION AND IT IS MUCH MORE FORMAL. PART OF THAT FORMALITY IS YOU NEED TO HAVE SUPPORTING EVIDENCE AT YOUR COMMAND TO SUPPORT YOU IDEAS--OR YOUR MAIN TALKING POINTS.
A GOOD PLACE TO START AFTER WRITING OUT YOUR THREE MAIN TALKING POINTS IN COMPLETE SENTENCES IS TO FIND SUPPORTING EVIDENCE FOR EACH POINT.
BEST PRACTICES WOULD BE TO FIND A VARIETY OF SUPPORTING EVIDENCE FOR EACH TALKING POINT. IT’S BETTER TO HAVE TOO MUCH INFORMATION THAN NOT ENOUGH.
FIRST, TRY DEFINING A TERM FOR THE AUDIENCE. MAKE SURE YOU’RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT BY DEFINING IT WITH INFORMATION FROM THE MOST CREDIBLE SOURCE YOU CAN FIND. HINT--THAT IS PROBABLY NOT AN ONLINE DICTIONARY BUT RATHER A PROFESSIONAL OR GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION.
NEXT, FOR EACH TALKING POINT, FIND AN EXAMPLE. GIVE THE AUDIENCE AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT IN A SINGLE SENTENCE. THIS NOT ONLY IMPROVES AUDIENCE COMPREHENSION BUT IT HELPS THEM CONNECT YOUR POINT TO THEIR REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE.
NEXT, TRY FINDING A STATISTIC THAT RELATES TO THE POINT YOU’RE TRYING TO MAKE. A STATISTIC IS INFORMATION GIVEN NUMERICALLY. WHEN USING STATISTICS FOLLOW THREE KEY RULES--USE THEM SPARINGLY, TRY TO EXPLAIN THEM WELL--MAYBE EVEN WITH VISUAL AIDS LIKE INFOGRAPHICS--AND FINALLY THE LAST RULE: CONTEXTUALIZE YOUR EXAMPLE. CONNECT IT TO YOUR SPEECH. DON’T JUST GIVE THE EXAMPLE AND MOVE ON.
ANOTHER VERY EFFECTIVE TYPE OF SUPPORTING EVIDENCE IS TESTIMONY--EITHER EXPERT BY A CREDIBLE SOURCE OR PROFESSIONAL--OR PEER TESTIMONY FROM SOMEONE WHO CAN SPEAK TO HOW THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED YOUR TOPIC. SOME PEER TESTIMONY CAN PLAY A LARGER ROLE IN YOUR SPEECH IF YOU SHARE A NARRATIVE OF SOMEONE’S EXPERIENCE OF YOUR TOPIC AS A DEVICE IN YOUR SPEECH--FOR EXAMPLE AN ATTENTION GETTER….OR AN EXTENDED EXAMPLE.
IF YOU DO A LOT OF RESEARCH, YOU’LL QUICKLY REALIZE THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE TOO MUCH INFORMATION FOR THE LENGTH OF YOUR SPEECH. THAT’S OK. REMOVE THE INFORMATION THAT DOESN’T ADVANCE YOUR PURPOSE AND YOUR TALKING POINTS LEAVING THE MOST POWERFUL EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT YOUR CLAIMS.
ONCE YOU’VE ADDED YOUR SUPPORTING EVIDENCE TO YOUR MAIN POINTS, YOU’RE READY FOR THE NEXT STEP. PLANNING HOW YOU WILL VERBALLY CITE YOUR SOURCES.
