Need ideas on how to start your upcoming speech? Public speaking is listed as Americans' number one fear, before death at number 5, and loneliness at number 7. So most of us are less afraid of dying alone than possibly embarrassing ourselves in front of others. The good news is, I've put together a few tricks to start your speech off right and take that pressure off.
In this video, I will teach you how to begin a speech and grab your audience's attention, how to get to your point, and how you can leave a good lasting impression. I go through a free speech openers that others have done to show how effective these openers can be, and I talk about what not to do for your speech.
