Techniques of focusing on speed in speeches
Part 1: Speech speed and overcoming excessive speech speed
Speech speed, That is, the speed of the voice when speaking, and the number of syllables spoken per unit time. Changes in speaking speed are also an important means of expressing expressions. The speed of speech can generally be divided into three types: fast, medium and slow.
1. Fast
Expressing excitement, joy, nervousness, and excitement. More than two hundred syllables per minute. Example: Hurry up, I have to leave. 2. Medium speed
Used in places where the emotions do not change much, and used to describe ordinary scenes. About 200 syllables per minute
Example: I will leave later.
3. Slow speed
Narrating calm and solemn scenes is used to express sadness and depression. Around 100 syllables per minute.
Example: He left yesterday. My dog ??slowly moved closer to it. Suddenly, an old sparrow with a black breast flew down from a nearby tree and landed in front of the dog like a pebble. The old sparrow's feathers stood up all over, and it was terrified. It let out a desperate and pitiful cry, and then pounced on the dog's mouth, which showed its teeth and opened wide. (The sentence starts slowly and becomes faster after "suddenly")
If you want to know how fast you speak? You can time it yourself, mark the beginning of a paragraph, read it aloud for one minute, and then count the number of words you have read. Generally it should be about 150 words per minute. In normal conversation, you can speak about 200 words per minute.
In general formal speeches, the speaker is required to be able to skillfully grasp the speaking speed during the speech, and choose an appropriate speaking speed based on the actual situation at the scene, the content of the speech and other factors.
If it is a formal speech, the speed cannot be too fast. First, it is difficult for the audience to understand, and the listeners cannot follow the train of thought in time. Second, it is easy to make people suspicious and mistakenly think that the speaker has stage fright. Because people tend to speak faster when they are timid.
Of course, you can’t speak too slowly. If it is too slow, it will sound like a drawl, giving others room to wander, and giving people the impression of being stupid, slow, and uncultured.
Let’s talk about in detail when to speak slowly and when to speak quickly.
(1) The speaking speed is subject to the content of the speech
1. Use normal speaking speed for explanatory text
2. Use slower language for narrative and descriptive text Speed
In "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond", Mr. Zhu Ziqing was dissatisfied with the darkness of society and felt depressed, so he went to the lotus pond to relax in the dead of night. This paragraph should be read at a speed of narration and description at the same time, so as to vent the inner anguish.
These past few days, I have been feeling quite uneasy. Tonight, as I was sitting in the yard enjoying the shade, I suddenly thought of the lotus pond I walked past every day. It must have looked different in the light of the full moon. The moon was gradually rising, and the laughter of the children on the road outside the wall could no longer be heard; my wife was patting Run'er in the house and humming a lullaby in a daze. I quietly put on my coat, closed the door and went out. (Slow)
3. Argumentative and lyrical writing should be written either fast or slow.
Mr. Zhu Ziqing did not get rid of his depression and sorrow in the silent lotus pond and returned to reality. The mood changes from a touch of joy to a touch of sadness, so this paragraph should be read like this: The liveliest sounds at this time are the cicadas chirping on the trees and the frogs chirping in the water. But the excitement is theirs and I have nothing. (Slow)
The first sentence expresses a touch of joy, and the speaking speed should be faster; the latter sentence expresses a touch of sadness, and the speaking speed should be slower.
(2) The speed of speaking should take into account the formal characteristics of the language itself.
For example: long, scattered sentences and words with difficult pronunciation should not be spoken too fast; while neat and rhythmic sentences should be spoken faster to make them easier to hear.
For example, the following text:
For thousands of years, the ghosts of traditional concepts such as "a woman's lack of talent is virtue" and "a good wife and mother" are still in every corner of society. Wandering in it, it stubbornly hinders the complete liberation of women in contemporary society
! Are mothers born stupid and unworthy of education? Please look at the heroines of today’s world!
(This paragraph should be slower, and the beginning should be slower, because it has a long sentence and is difficult to pronounce)
The following paragraph should be faster, because it is a set of parallels sentence. Quick, it can increase the momentum of the article:
Old man Bing Xin worked hard on his writing amidst the cries of his three children and became a literary master; after Ms. Qiong Yao broke up with her gambling husband, she wrote the next chapter with her little daughter in her arms. The romantic novel finally became famous all over the world; the long-distance running champion of the 23rd Olympic Games was a mother of two children; with the support of her husband, Mrs. Thatcher became the first "Iron Lady" in British history to serve three consecutive terms as Prime Minister. (The speaking speed should be fast, the faster the better.)
[Summary] In the second part of speaking speed, we know that the speaking speed should be consistent with the content of the article, so as to: Speed ??should follow the content of the speech. Use normal speaking speed for explanatory words, slower speaking speed for narrative and descriptive words, and fast or slow for argumentative and lyrical words.
Secondly, the speed of speaking should take into account the formal characteristics of the language itself.
The structure of the speaker’s ups and downs of thoughts and feelings is dense and loose, and the orderly, regular and rhythmic combination of elements such as intonation, priorities, and behavior form the rhythm of the speech. Common speech rhythms include brisk, sustained, gentle, rapid, low-pressure, etc.
The speed of the speech should be appropriate, slow and moderate, fast but not chaotic, slow but not dragging, fast and slow, slow and fast, relaxed and natural, and well-proportioned. In this way, the clarity and rhythm of the language can be displayed, making the speech musical.
If it is too fast for a long time, it will "oversupply" and cause the audience to be irritated. It is difficult for the audience to fully understand the content and understand the emotions.
If you are too slow, the demand will exceed the supply, which will make the audience impatient. The audience cannot concentrate and their emotions cannot be aroused.
In short, the speech cannot always be at the same speed. It must be rapid and slow, and the speech must be cadenced to express emotions, and the rhythm and logic must be clear.
Speaking too fast is one of the most common mistakes for first-time speakers. Professor Yin Yamin has summarized a set of effective methods through years of practical experience in speech teaching to overcome speaking too fast during speeches.
Pick it into the east. square. gold. mouth. The articles in the blog of Yin Yamin, a specially hired expert consultant teacher, are for readers’ reference.
Readers and students often ask: What should I do if I speak too fast? Today I will give a detailed answer to this common question.
Q: What should I do if I speak too fast?
Answer: There are two types of fast speaking speed: fast words and fast sentences.
What is word speed? It means that the words are connected too closely when speaking; what is a fast sentence? There is no pause between each sentence. To solve these two problems of fast speaking, you can practice from the following two aspects:
1. Stop for three seconds to practice.
That is, after taking the stage, count silently for three seconds before starting to speak, and pause for three seconds between sentences.
After speaking, pause for three seconds before leaving the stage.
Why stop for three seconds? There are three benefits: First, transfer - transfer tension. The more you say you are not nervous, the more nervous you will become. Because you said you were not nervous, your subconscious only remembered the word "nervous", and the word "no" was blocked by the brain. The correct way is to transfer. Because your mind has no dual purpose, when you start counting "one, two, three", all your energy is focused on counting, and the tension has been squeezed out of your mind. This is the transfer method. The second is to calm down - let the mind calm down. Only through tranquility can we go far. Only by meditation can you think clearly, and only by thinking clearly can you speak appropriately. The third is to practice pauses. Speaking fast is a habit. A habit developed over a long period of time. The only way to break an old habit is to overwrite it with a new one. Practice counting for three seconds every day, and your mental rhythm will slowly slow down, and you will develop a new habit of pausing.
Exercise content: Pause for three seconds and say "Dear leaders", then pause for three seconds and say "Dear guests", then pause for three seconds and say "Hello everyone". Pause for three seconds before stepping down. ----If you do it 100 times a day, your speaking speed will slow down.
2. Practice pas de deux (pas de deux means adding appropriate gestures according to the content during the speech). Because words are faster than actions. There is an idiom called "One move, one move". When doing an action, you must lift it up first and then you can complete the action. As for language, it just went out. For example, if you add gestures to say the word "power", you must first raise your hands, clench your fists, and tighten your muscles to complete this action. And when you say the word "power", it comes out when you open your mouth. So by speaking with gestures, you can force you to slow down your speech. You have to slow down your language so that the two can be in tune and coordinated.
The key to practicing three-second pauses and pas de deux is perseverance.
The author would like to add one more thing. If you have not trained enough to speak on stage and become nervous as soon as you go on stage, then you should first practice your experience on stage until you can overcome the nervousness of going on stage. Because if you are nervous on stage, no matter how skillful your speech is, the effect of your speech will be affected by nervousness, and the speaker will unconsciously speak too fast because of nervousness.
Finally, I wish the reader can become a great speaker through hard work.
Part 2: Techniques for emphasizing speed in speeches
Techniques for emphasizing speed in speeches
In a speech, some contents are relatively important. , some content is secondary. Important content or issues should be emphasized to make them stand out so as to leave a deep impression on the audience. To achieve the purpose of emphasis, certain methods and techniques must be used. Emphasis through "repetition"
The so-called "repetition" refers to the repeated appearance of the same content in a speech. Due to repeated occurrence, this content is emphasized. The recurring content must be the point of view of the commander-in-chief's speech or the important content that expresses the main idea.
The form of "repetition" is mostly the repetition of a sentence or a small natural paragraph. For example, in the speech "The Road to Self-Strength of the Chinese Nation" (Du Hugang), the sentence "This is the yesterday of our Chinese nation" appeared twice in the speech.
It appears in the form of a natural paragraph, thus emphasizing that the Chinese nation in the past was a nation that suffered humiliation. In the latter part of the speech, there are two sentences repeated twice: "This is the patriot in the modern history of our Chinese nation." This emphasizes that even in the past of humiliation, our Chinese nation still has the ability to throw away its heads and spread the word. The idea of ??passionate patriots standing up and fighting highlights the theme of the Chinese nation's road to self-improvement.
Emphasis through contrast
Through the contrast and comparison of two things, the things and ideas to be expressed are highlighted and left a deep impression on the audience. In his speech "Country, Nation and Integrity", Li Yanjie compared Qu Yuan with Pushkin, Luo Guanzhong with Chaucer, Gong Zizhen with Byron, and Tang Xianzu and Guan Hanqing in order to illustrate that the Chinese nation has a long and splendid culture. Shakespeare comparison. This is very convincing proof that the culture of our Chinese nation is much older and more splendid than the cultures of other nations in the world.
Emphasis through asking questions and rhetorical questions
"I have already made up my mind, and deliberately ask questions in my words, which is called asking questions." (Chen Wangdao) The purpose of asking questions is to remind the following content to attract the attention of the audience, and the answers are spoken by the speaker. Please read the following text:
Comrade, have you been to Beijing? Have you been to Tiananmen Square? Have you ever stood under the majestic red wall, looked up at the majestic city tower, and touched the Jinshui Bridge with your own hands? A pure white watch? The first time I came to Beijing was an evening when the lights were on. As soon as I got off the train, I went straight to the Tiananmen Square I had longed for. After so many years, I still often recall that unforgettable scene. Motherland, my dear mother, you will always remain in my heart. (Xin Weijie: "The Motherland is in the Hearts of Young People")
If this paragraph did not ask questions but used general narrative sentences, then the speaker's feelings for the motherland would not be so strong. Rendering and emphasis.
A rhetorical question is different from a hypothetical question. It is a question to stimulate the original intention. The questioner does not need to answer. The answer is on the opposite side of the question. But this rhetorical question caught the audience's attention. For example, Dong Wenhua's rhetorical question in his speech "I Will Not Be Such a Flying Pigeon": "How can we despise the land under our feet? Isn't it an integral part of the 9.6 million square kilometers of the motherland? How can we despise the poverty of the Dabie Mountains? Isn't it Is it supposed to be like this? Do the children of the motherland only have a reason to avoid it, but have no obligation to build it? Can a person of the new era, a young man with blood, be able to do such a 'flying pigeon'?" Through the above many rhetorical questions? sentence, the speaker's point is emphasized. The content of these questions is closely related to the main theme of the entire speech, or in other words, the main theme is cast into the form of rhetorical questions and rhetorical questions. We also see that the form of the question will inevitably affect the tone of expression. Questions can obviously aggravate or strengthen the tone, and strong emotions will be expressed accordingly.
Emphasis through language speed changes
