hi I'm TJ Walker and I'm an
internationally renowned expert on
communication
what do you judge when you see something
like that or you hear something like
that now I might be the most confident
speaker in the world but if my head is
down like it just was if my volume is
down you are going to perceive that I'm
lacking confidence I mean here's the
good news about audiences they can't
really read your mind to know whether
you're confident or not the only thing
an audience can ever do is make
judgments about you based on what you're
doing with your body are not doing with
your body what you're doing with your
voice are not doing with your voice so
if you learn how to do the things that
audiences associate with confidence they
will think that you're confident and if
you know that it will actually be hard
for you to lack confidence you simply
won't be able to be scared any longer
the number one way to really have
confidence when you're giving a speech
is to have practice in advance on video
and watch it and keep doing it until you
can point to the video and say and that
guy that woman is fantastic if I can be
half as good as that person I'll be the
best speaker at my conference or at my
school and you're pointing to a video of
yourself so what are the biggest signs
of confidence that the audience is
looking for subconsciously well for
starters nervous people freeze they're
grabbing a lectern their body isn't
moving their head isn't moving and all
they're doing is moving their lips that
is a surefire sign of lacking confidence
nervous people speak too quickly - flat
- monotone that's a surefire sign of
lacking confidence nervous people stand
in one spot if you want to appear
confident you need to move that means
move your hands move your body even move
around the room that's right walk and
talk something every five-year-old knows
to do and when it comes to your voice
you need to have a full range that means
loud or softer faster slower if you
follow these tips you will appear to be
confident to your audience even if you
aren't
