当众演讲的10项顶级技巧译者:xiaonicholas 原作者:Garr Reynolds
1. Show your passion 1.展示您的激情 If I had only one tip to give, it would be to be passionate about your topic andlet that enthusiasm come out. Yes, you need great content. Yes, you needprofessional, well designed visuals. But it is all for naught if you do nothave a deep, heartfelt belief in your topic. The biggest item that separatesmediocre presenters from world class ones is the ability to connect with anaudience in an honest and exciting way. Don't hold back. Be confident. And letyour passion for your topic come out for all to see. 如果我仅有一条建议的话,那就是:对您的话题充满激情,让您的热情爆发出来!不错,您的话题需要完美的内容,需要专业的、精心设计的视觉效果。但是如果您对自己的话题没有深刻的、发自内心深处的自信,那么一切将化为乌有。世界级大师与普通演讲者的最大区别在于,他们具有以真诚而令人兴奋的方式与听众进行沟通的能力。不要退缩!自信起来!将您的激情展现给大家看! 2. Start strong
2.开个好头 You've heard it before: First impressions are powerful. Believe it. The first 2-3minutes of the presentation are the most important. The audience wants to likeyou and they will give you a few minutes at the beginning to engage them --don't miss the opportunity. Most presenters fail here because they ramble ontoo long about superfluous background information or theirpersonal/professional history, etc. 您以前应该听说过:第一印象非常重要。相信这一点。开始2-3分钟的演讲是最重要的。观众要喜欢您,一开始会给您几分钟适应——不要错过这个机会。很多的演讲者栽倒在这里,因为他们花太多的时间来介绍过量的背景知识,或者是他们个人的/专业的历史。 3. Keep it short 3.保持简短 Humanshave short attention spans when it comes to passively sitting and listening toa speaker. Audience attention is greatest at the opening and then again whenyou say something like "In conclusion...." This is just the humancondition, especially so for the busy (often tired) knowledge worker of today.So, if you have 30 minutes for your talk, finish in 25 minutes. It is better tohave the audience wanting more (of you) than to feel that they have had morethan enough. Professional entertainers know this very well.
当人们坐下被动地听您演讲时,他们的注意力是非常短的。在演讲开始的时,以及在您 说“综上所述……”的时候,听众的注意力最集中。这是人之常情,特别是对于今天繁忙(经常劳累)的知识工作者来说。因此,如果您有30分钟的演讲,那就25分钟完成吧。最好是让观众感到没听够,而不是让他们觉得您讲的太多。专业的娱乐界艺人就很懂得这个道理。
4. Move awayfrom the podium 4.离开讲台 Get closer to your audience by moving away from or in front of the podium. Thepodium is a barrier between you and the audience, but the goal of our presentationis to connect with the audience. Removing physical barriers between you and theaudience will help you build rapport and make a connection. 站在讲台前面,或离开讲台,去接近您的听众。讲台是您和听众之间的障碍,而我们演讲的目的是与听众建立联系。扫除您和听众之间的实物障碍,有助于您与听众建立联系,利于沟通。 5. Use a remote-control device 5.使用遥控翻页器 To advance your slides and builds, use a small, handheld remote. A handheld remotewill allow you to move away from the podium. This is an absolute must. Keyspanhas two good ones. I highly recommend the Keyspan Presentation Remote. Manypeople like the Interlink remote as well.
使用一种小型的手持式遥控翻页器来控制您的幻灯片。翻页器可使您能够离开讲台。这是绝 对必要的!KeySan有两种遥控翻页产品,我吐血推荐Keyspan。不过也有许多人喜欢Interlink 牌子的。
6. Remember the“B” key 6. 记住“B”键 If you press the “B” key while your PowerPoint or Keynote slide is showing, thescreen will go blank. This is useful if you need to digress or move off thetopic presented on the slide. By having the slide blank, all the attention cannow be placed back on you. When you are ready to move on, just press the “B”key again and the image reappears. 当您的PPT或Keynote幻灯片处于放映状态时,按下“B”键,屏幕立即变为空白。这一招在您 需要转移话题时非常有用。通过把幻灯片变成空白,就可以将听众的注意力全都转移到您身上。当您准备好继续演讲时,再次按下“B”键,幻灯片图像就会重新出现。
7. Make good eye contact
7.眼神接触 Try looking at individuals rather than scanning the group. Since you are using acomputer, you never need to look at the screen behind you — just glance down atthe computer screen briefly. One sure way to lose an audience is to turn yourback on them. And while you're maintaining great eye contact, don't forget tosmile as well. Unless your topic is very grim, a smile can be a very powerful thing. 尽力用眼睛盯住听众,而不是朝大伙轻瞄一眼。由于您正使用电脑,因此您决不需要看您后面的大屏幕——短时间低头看一下电脑屏幕就行了。把背朝向听众的做法一定会使您失去他们的。而当您和听众保持良好的眼神接触时,别忘了也要微笑一下。除非您的话题非常严肃,否则保持微笑是非常非常有好处的。 8. Keep thelights on 8.打开室内灯光 If you are speaking in a meeting room or a classroom, the temptation is to turnthe lights off so that the slides look better. But go for a compromise betweena bright screen image and ambient room lighting. Turning the lights off — besidesinducing sleep — puts all the focus on the screen. The audience should belooking at you more than the screen. Today’s projectors are bright enough toallow you to keep many of the lights on.
如果您是在会议室或教室演讲,那么关灯之后的幻灯片效果好些。但是要对明亮的屏幕图像 和室内光线之间进行权衡。关了灯——除非是让大家睡觉——就是把大家的注意力都引到屏幕上了!听众应该多看您,而不是看屏幕!现在的投影仪已经足够亮了,您可以将室内的大多数灯光打开。 9. Use a TV forsmall groups 9.为小组提供电视 If you are presenting to a small group, then you can connect your computer to alarge TV (via the s-video line-in). With a TV screen, you can keep all or mostof the lights on. Make sure your text and graphics are large enough to be seenon the small the screen. You will probably have to increase the type size significantly. 如果您的听众是一个小组,那么你就可以将电脑连接到一个大型电视(通过S端接入)。有了电视屏幕,你就可以打开大部分的灯光。请确保您的文本和图形足够大,这样在小屏幕上才看得清楚。您可能需要增大字号的大小。 10. At alltimes: courteous, gracious, & professional 10.在任何时候:礼貌、和蔼、专业 When audience members ask questions or give comments, you should be gracious andthank them for their input. Even if someone is being difficult, you must keepto the high ground and at all times be a gentleman or lady and courteously dealwith such individuals. The true professional can always remain cool and incontrol. Remember, it is your reputation, so always remain gracious even withthe most challenging of audiences.
当观众提问或作评论的时候,你应该表现心态随和,并感谢他们参与。即使有人刻意刁难,您也要表现出绅士或淑女之风,以高姿态、礼貌的方式妥善处理。真正的专业人士总是能保持冷静,控制局面。请记住,这是您的声誉,即使遇到最难对付的听众,也始终保持和蔼可亲。
