The Public Speaking Technique That Everyone Should Be Using

The Public Speaking Technique That Everyone Should Be Using - Brian Tracy

The powerful speech pause might be the most important public speaking technique you will ever learn. This secret is something that I’ve used for many years. Dramatic pauses are so powerful that they should be illegal.

In music, all of the beauty is contained in the silences between the notes. In speaking, the drama and power of the speech is contained in the silences that you create as you move from point to point.

This is an art that you can learn with practice.

Public Speaking Tip: The Powerful Speech Pause

There are 4 kinds of speech pauses that you can use to put more power into your presentations.

In this three minute video below I explain them to you.

The key takeaways for you from this video are:

Use the sense pause to allow people to absorb the new information and catch up with you.
Use the dramatic pause to make a point stick in the listener’s minds.
Use an emphatic pause to emphasize an important point.
Use the sentence-completion pause to make a statement or quote a line in which everyone is familiar, then let the audience answer it for you.

Many speakers are nervous when they stand up in front of an audience. As a result, they speak faster, with a higher pitch to their voices, and without pausing. When you are more relaxed, you speak more slowly, pause regularly, and have a much better tone of voice.

Practicing pauses and allowing silences when you speak will enable you to speak with power in any situation.
