Public Speaking Classes And Presentation Skills Training Resources

I have been asked many a times, should people attend public speaking classes, to improve their speaking or presentation skills.

Well, to be honest, it all depends. If you are a complete novice in public speaking, then attending one of those professionally conducted public speaking training can help you tremendously.

But if you have been speak in public or conduct presentations on the regular basis, then I would advise you to read up valuable effective tips from various sources (both on and off line) and by watching polished and persuasive professional speakers in action.

You can both learn and unlearn a great deal by watching these masters speaking with poise and enthusiasm. Study and analyze where you have gone wrong and pick up their techniques in delivery, voice modulation, body language, the speech opening, the use of visual aids, etc.

One good relevant source to study amazing speakers and presenters is watch the many free videos on YouTube and TED

As for those who want to attend those public speaking classes,or courses like Dale Carnegie Training or Buckley School Of Public Speaking.

One excellent way to start off to a great verbal communication skills is attend your local Toastmaster classes.

For presentation skills training, you can check with American Management Association.
