1. Want to be funny?
→ How did you learn to be funny? Comedy skills can be practiced and improved just like other skills. In fact, there are many points worth exploring in the most ordinary and daily life experience. Be a conscientious person, think more, ponder more and communicate more. It's time to take a notebook to record things. Does anyone think of the great Mrs. Mercer in American TV series? )
→ Research source. Learn from others' humorous speeches and comedy performances. Write down their jokes, think carefully and study their structure. Clever use of humor can make you keenly see some opportunities to visit shaker expectations and create surprises!
→ Learn lighter triggers. What can stir people's psychological jokes? Take advantage of surprise, embarrassment, audience superiority, sense of identity, disorder and release. Due to the space problem, there is only one explanation here, imbalance. Disorder refers to imposing the characteristics of one thing on another. For example, let animals talk ~ others read magazines 13 pages ~
→ Make them laugh and remember. Please remember that the main purpose of a speech is to convey unforgettable information clearly and effectively. The function of humor is to find such a happy moment and spread your message conveniently.
2. Introduce ten skills of your speech on a global scale.
If one day you are not in Xi 'an, but in other corners of the world, and the audience is no longer our compatriots, but foreigners with different cultural customs, what should we pay attention to before giving a speech? People in different places may have different views on successful speeches ~ Listen to Dean Foster's summary of more than 30 years' speech experience in more than 0/00 countries around the world: how can we get started?
A great beginning depends on? What, you? Want to achieve.
Is your speech inspirational, instructive, entertaining or providing cutting-edge information? Different purposes mean different ways to deliver. For example, when giving a technical lecture in Germany, don't use too many funny facts, because Germans have always been very serious in the professional field.
9) Show who you are from the beginning. ?
It is important to review who you are with. Do you introduce yourself in a country that prefers casual or formal? Humility. Modesty, even if it is to establish authority, should also show that it is to better serve the audience.
8) Show your admiration for their culture. Make yourself an admirer of this country's achievements.
7) Consider language traps.
Don't think that listeners in other countries have good English. Omit polysyllabic words and abbreviations when you speak. If the audience does not understand the language, the message of the speech cannot be conveyed.
6) Meet with your translator. If translation is needed, communicate with the translator in advance, and simultaneous translation is the best.
5)? Pay attention to your nonverbal information.
Before 10 seconds, everyone has already judged the speaker. Gestures, smiles, facial expressions and standing posture comprehensively reflect whether the speaker on the stage will be accepted by the audience under the stage.
4)? Your introduction also shows your way of thinking.
Some cultures like to speak with clear logic and sufficient facts; Some cultures prefer the structure of having a conclusion before a story. Learn more about these differences before giving a speech.
3)? Master the technology.
Prepare technical props such as pictures and demonstrations. In addition, what is displayed should also consider the way that the audience culture is more accustomed to. For example, East Asians prefer to express a concept with words rather than letters. It is also necessary to keep all images culturally neutral, or at least culturally sensitive.
2) Have a game plan for cultural "damage control".
In case you say something that offends culture, admit your ignorance and thank the audience for letting you know more.
1) Be modest.
Last but not least, the audience is not only judging you, but also judging your country and everything you stand for-from the moment you step onto the stage.
