Topic that will surprise my audience!

Okay, at first I’m having a hard time choosing a good topic that will make my audience listen from the start until I finish my speech. I asked myself of what do I love to talk about, do I have the resources necessary to obtain sufficient data and I keep thinking for how many hours until I have decided that my topic is about my country Philippines. Well, the title of my informative speech is “Land of the morning: Philippines”. Since my speech is obviously about the Philippines, I will be talking about what makes the Filipinos unique and special, some problems and issues of the Filipinos and how Filipinos use their voice in trading goods.

Without the audience the speech will become useless, so it means that they are very important and it is imperative that we should analyze our audience. My audience are college students and their ages are ranging from 16-20 years old. Also my audience are combination of male and female. Though my audience are taking up different courses, I’m sure that my topic will sync in to their minds and I can get their attention because if I share my experience and knowledge people will listen. The venue of our public speaking will be held in classroom at around 1:00pm to 2:30pm. Since all of my audience are Filipino they can relate easily to my topic. Audiences will judge a speech based on what they already know and believe.

My speech can help the audience to know more about the Philippines. Nowadays, Filipinos are facing some serious problem that can affect our self confidence. I would like to encourage them to help each other to be more proud in our own country and be an active citizen. I would like to encourage the youth to love their country so they will have respect someday as a citizen. This is the best way to set a positive example. So I hope that my speech will inspire them.

That’s all! Thank you and God Bless.

Stand up and speak

Our professor in English two conducted a discussion about nervousness, and that topic caught my attention because it can help us to amend our skills in public speaking. Even though I can say that I'm a good example of someone who can conquer the fear of public speaking. Sometimes I felt so nervous and I don’t know why. So after the discussion I realized that it is a big help if you know how to get rid of nervousness. It helps me to find a way to overcome my nervousness, ways how to identify a person if he/she is nervous, and how to determine my weaknesses and strengths. So in that way I can ascertain which things I need to improve.

Public speaking for me is very important because in that way you can express and share your thoughts and knowledge in front of many people, and it can also makes you recognize and be successful. So I have some tips that can help you to overcome your nervousness. First of all act confident so you will look confident, in that way it can help you to get the attention of the audience and convince them that you are very prepared. Second is be prepared always, it can lessened the tension and you can concentrate. And redefine your audience, like for example treat them as your friends so you can feel the support you need. Don’t hesitate to stand up and speak, and just keep talking in public and in no time you can see yourself as a good public speaker.

The possible topics for my informative speech are about why Filipinos are very unique, since I’m a proud Filipino, I can easily share some qualities that makes a Filipino unique. And how the students manage their allowance since my course is operations management I’m very interested of how students handle their money.

That’s all! Thank you and have a nice day.
