Many people replied: "The speech is stuck!"
Then I asked them why the speech got stuck.
They said, "Because I forgot the manuscript!"
Oh, it turns out that the speeches are all written and ready to be recited on stage, and then I forget the words after reciting them ~
This can't help but make me think, "Do you want to write a manuscript before making a PPT speech? Because sometimes writing a manuscript, the speech is more stuck, and sometimes even reciting the manuscript like a robot ~ "
I happened to read a lot of lecture books recently, and finally found the answer: whether to write a speech before making a PPT speech can't be generalized, it depends on different speech scenes and speakers of different levels ~
If you want to take part in the roadshow competition on behalf of the company, or you want to take part in the personal debriefing with strict time limit, or you want to attend the TED talk, then I suggest you write a word-for-word speech, that is, the whole draft ~
Except for these speeches that strictly limit the speaking time, there is no need to write a complete draft for other speeches ~
Why do you say that?
Because it is difficult to finish a speech within a strict time limit; Unless you are a top speaker, it's hard to be sure that you will finish your speech before the specified time ~
Only by writing down the whole draft, rehearsing the opportunity repeatedly, and finally memorizing the content of the speech, can the speech be completed within the specified time ~
The average speech speed of an average adult is 240 words/minute. You can calculate how long your speech will be ~
However, I want to remind you that when you are on the stage, don't recite the manuscript like a robot, or you will get stuck ~
I still remember that Luo Zhenyu said in a sharing: "When writing a speech, you don't mean that you have to memorize it all, but that you have to give a live speech first and use your head with words." .
Therefore, writing a whole draft is actually equivalent to practicing in your mind, and you must not recite word for word!
If there is no strict time limit for the speech, I don't recommend writing a complete draft ~
On the one hand, writing the whole manuscript is too time-consuming and laborious; On the other hand, when writing the whole manuscript, I want to recite it. As a result, it is easy to turn the speech into an emotionless recitation ~
According to my previous experience, it is ok to write a draft outline for daily work report, project communication, scheme communication and training sharing ~
What is a draft outline?
As the name implies, it is a manuscript that can reach the outline ~
For example, write down the main points of PPT explanation on each page in PPT remarks:
Or draw a story line or mind map of the speech on white paper:
After you are very familiar with PPT, turn it off and practice directly with the draft outline ~
I use this way of preparing speeches the most, and it is also the best. I strongly recommend it!
If your speech has reached a certain level, for example, you don't have speech phobia, and you know your speech by heart, then you just need to prepare the keyword draft.
The keyword draft is simpler than the outline draft, with only keywords and no sentences. Just remind yourself with keywords and you will know what to say next ~
For example, when Jobs held an Apple product launch conference, basically every PPT page had only one or several simple keywords ~
But don't underestimate these keywords, they are the essence of the essence, and what is needed is a strong ability to copy and refine ~
At the same time, the keyword draft also requires the speaker to have the ability of eloquence, content extension and smooth expression, otherwise it will be too dry to read keywords on the stage ~
Therefore, I don't recommend ordinary people to use the keyword draft ~
However, for impromptu speech scenes, draft keywords are very useful. If you are suddenly called up by the leader to speak in a meeting, you can quickly write a few key words in your notebook and then start speaking slowly. The effect is much better than standing up and saying it directly. Try it ~
Under what circumstances, you just need to write a draft with your heart, okay?
I think there is only one situation, that is, "the same old tune": for example, the trainer repeats a set of courses, or the sales representative repeats a product introduction ~
I'm going to finish class on the PPT master thinking line now, and basically I don't need to make any preparations, because I can recite 300 pages of courseware by heart, and I know everything on each PPT ~
Therefore, even without PPT, I can attend classes fluently for two days, because I have a complete draft in my stomach ~
To sum up, whether to write a speech before PPT speech, my suggestion is:
That's all for today's sharing, I hope it will help you ~
