Good public speakers are made, not born. Very few speakers can give a stirring speech without preparation and practice. With studying public speaking techniques, you may not become a famous speaker. However, you will be able to get your messages across clearly and completely. Essentially, there are four guidelines to follow in order to deliver a speech effectively.

优秀的演讲者都是练出来的而不是天生的。很少有人能不准备也不练习就能做出激动人心的演讲。学习公共演讲的技巧，你也许不能成为一名著名的演说家。但是，你可以清晰、完整地表达自己的信息。基本上，遵循以下四点可以有效地指导演讲。

Be natural

自然

Good speakers let their unique personalities shine through. They don’t try to imitate other speakers.  As you deliver a speech, you’ll communicate those same interests and attitudes to the audience through your verbal and nonverbal delivery. Because it isn't as natural to express yourself through public speaking as through conversation, you must be well-prepared. Preparation gives you the confidence that lets you be yourself.

好的演讲者会让他们自己独特的个性大方光彩。他们不会试图模仿其他的演讲者。当你发表演讲的时候，你会通过言语和非言语的方式来和志同道合的观众交流。因为通过公共演讲，通过对话来表达自己并不是自然的，你必须有所准备。准备可以给予让你做自己的信心。

Be lively

充满活力

No one wants to listen to a dull speaker. It doesn't mean you have to tell dozens of jokes to hold an audience’s attention. It does mean that your delivery must express your interests and enthusiasm for your topic and your audience. A speaker who has an energetic, lively, active, or assertive style is said to possess dynamism, which is one element establishes a speaker’s credibility. Lively delivery can help build the audience’s perception of the speaker’s credibility.

没有人愿意听一个无聊的演讲者的演讲。这并不意味着你必须讲很多笑话来吸引听众的注意力。这意味着你必须把你的兴趣和热情放在你的主题和观众上。一个充满活力，活跃，积极，或自信的演讲者是被认为是很有活力的，这也是演讲者建立可信度的一个元素。活跃的演讲可以帮助获取听众的可信度。

Be appropriate

恰当的

Good delivery is appropriate for the situation, the purpose, and the audience. For example, a speaker presenting a tribute to someone who died would be expected to create a solemn, respectful mood through vocal techniques, posture, and facial expressions, as well as through the words selected.

优秀的演讲是合乎事宜的，目的和观众的。例如，一个纪念逝去的人的演讲者会被期望通过声乐技巧，姿势，面部表情，以及所选的词语创造出一个庄严的、尊敬的心情。

Be empathic

情感转移

Good delivery gives meaning to a speaker’s message. Through appropriate vocal and non-vocal techniques, you can emphasize ideas or provide pauses that allow the audience to reflect on what has been said. Likewise, using a gesture to indicate an object’s size adds clarity to a description.  

好的演讲可以传达演讲者的信息。通过适当的声乐和非声乐技巧，你可以强调思想或着提供停顿来让观众反映所述说的。同样，使用手势来表示对象的大小也增加了描述的清晰性。
