How to Give a Speech on Live TV - Public Speaking Video Lecture - Public

so how do you deliver a speech if you're
on live television for starters you're
better off just ignoring the camera if
you have a large audience you need to be
focusing on your audience and you need
to realize it's going to look weird if
there's a shot over here showing you
ignoring the audience and you're just
staring at a camera so don't do that
focus on your audience and that's going
to make things much much better
don't just pander to the camera the next
thing you got to realize is that even
though there's somebody in the audience
500 feet away who can barely see you
that camera can zoom in plus you've got
a microphone on so the tendency is and
yes my fellow Americans that's why this
election as a pivot all the tendency is
to really raise your voice to yell to to
come across as extreme if you do that
the person 500 feet away may think
you're powerful and charismatic but on
TV you could look like a lunatic
you could look too hot too extreme and
it can seem like you're yelling you
don't want to seem like you're yelling
now occasionally to speak a little bit
louder can be a good thing as long as
you couple it with speaking a little
softer variety is key you want to be
conversational that's the biggest
difference between the way politicians
in the 1930s 40s and 50s spoke versus
when Ronald Reagan came on the scene in
1980 he realized that TV changed
everything for live speeches you have to
be personal and intimate because your
larger audience is not the people in the
room it's the people watching you on TV
so you have to have that conversational
quality do that and your speech will be
a hit with the audience in front of you
and the ones watching
at home
