英文演講技巧盤(pán)點(diǎn)
演講開(kāi)場(chǎng)要告訴聽(tīng)眾什么;你的演講準(zhǔn)備充分了嗎?以下是小編為大家收集關(guān)于英文演講技巧盤(pán)點(diǎn),供你參考閱讀。
一、 善用空間的演講
所謂空間就是指進(jìn)行演說(shuō)的場(chǎng)所范圍、演講者所在之處以及與聽(tīng)眾間的距離等等。演說(shuō)者所在之處以位居聽(tīng)眾注意力容易匯集的地方最為理想。例如開(kāi)會(huì)的時(shí)候、主席多半位居會(huì)議桌的上方、因?yàn)樵撎幷亲钊菀讌R集出席者注意力的地方。
反之,如果主席位居會(huì)議桌之正中央,則會(huì)議的進(jìn)行情況會(huì)變?nèi)绾文?恐怕會(huì)使出席者注意力散漫了,且有會(huì)議冗長(zhǎng)不休的感覺(jué)?因此,讓自己位居聽(tīng)眾注意力容易匯集之處,不但能夠提升聽(tīng)眾對(duì)于演講的關(guān)注,甚至具有增強(qiáng)演說(shuō)者信賴(lài)度權(quán)威感的效果。
二、 演講應(yīng)注意的幾個(gè)問(wèn)題
1、演講時(shí)的姿勢(shì)
演說(shuō)時(shí)的姿勢(shì)(posture)也會(huì)帶給聽(tīng)眾某種印象,例如堂堂正正的印象或者畏畏縮縮的印象。雖然個(gè)人的性格與平日的習(xí)慣對(duì)此影響頗巨,不過(guò)一般而言仍有方便演講的姿勢(shì),即所謂“輕松的姿勢(shì)”。要讓身體放松,反過(guò)來(lái)說(shuō)就是不要過(guò)度緊張。過(guò)度的緊張不但會(huì)表現(xiàn)出笨拙僵硬的姿勢(shì),而且對(duì)于舌頭的動(dòng)作也會(huì)造成不良的影響。
訣竅之一是張開(kāi)雙腳與肩同寬,挺穩(wěn)整個(gè)身軀。另一個(gè)訣竅是想辦法擴(kuò)散并減輕施加在身體上的緊張情緒。例如將一只手稍微插入口袋中,或者手觸桌邊、或者手握麥克風(fēng)等等。
2、演講時(shí)的視線(xiàn)在大眾面前說(shuō)話(huà),亦即表示必須忍受眾目睽睽的注視。當(dāng)然,并非每位聽(tīng)眾都會(huì)對(duì)你報(bào)以善意的眼光。盡管如此,你還是不可以漠視聽(tīng)眾的眼光,避開(kāi)聽(tīng)眾的視線(xiàn)來(lái)說(shuō)話(huà)。尤其當(dāng)你走到麥克風(fēng)旁邊站立在大眾面前的那一瞬間,來(lái)自聽(tīng)眾的視線(xiàn)有時(shí)甚至?xí)屇阌X(jué)得刺痛。
克服這股視線(xiàn)壓力的秘訣,就是一面進(jìn)行演講;一面從聽(tīng)眾當(dāng)中找尋對(duì)于自己投以善意而溫柔眼光的人。并且無(wú)視于那些冷淡的眼光。此外,把自己的視線(xiàn)投向強(qiáng)烈“點(diǎn)頭”以示首肯的人,對(duì)鞏固信心來(lái)進(jìn)行演說(shuō)也具有效果。
3、演講時(shí)的臉部表情
演講時(shí)的臉部表情無(wú)論好壞都會(huì)帶給聽(tīng)眾極其深刻的印象。緊張、疲勞、喜悅、焦慮、等情緒無(wú)不清楚地表露在臉上,這是很難藉由本人的意志來(lái)加以控制的。演講的內(nèi)容即使再精彩,如果表情總覺(jué)缺乏自信,老是畏畏縮縮,演講就很容易變得欠缺說(shuō)服力。
控制臉部的方法,首先“不可垂頭”。人一旦“垂頭”就會(huì)予人“喪氣”之感,而且若視線(xiàn)不能與聽(tīng)眾接觸,就難以吸引聽(tīng)眾的注意。另一個(gè)方法是“緩慢說(shuō)話(huà)”。說(shuō)話(huà)速度一旦緩慢,情緒即可穩(wěn)定,臉部表情也得以放松,再者,全身上下也能夠?yàn)橹┤蛔匀羝饋?lái)。
4、有關(guān)服飾和發(fā)型
服裝也會(huì)帶給觀(guān)眾各種印象。尤其是東方男性總是喜歡穿著灰色或者藍(lán)色系列的服裝,難免給人過(guò)于刻板無(wú)趣印象。輕松的場(chǎng)合不妨穿著稍微花俏一點(diǎn)的服裝來(lái)參加。不過(guò)如果是正式的場(chǎng)合,一般來(lái)說(shuō)仍以深色西服、男士無(wú)尾晚宴服、以及燕尾服為宜。其次,發(fā)型也可塑造出各種形象來(lái)。長(zhǎng)發(fā)和光頭各自蘊(yùn)含其強(qiáng)烈的形象,而鬢角的長(zhǎng)短也被認(rèn)為是個(gè)人喜好的表征。站出來(lái)演講之際,你的服裝、究竟帶給對(duì)方何種印象?希望大家好好地思量一番。
5、聲音和腔調(diào)
聲音和腔調(diào)乃是與生俱來(lái)的,不可能一朝一夕之間有所改善。不過(guò)音質(zhì)與措詞對(duì)于整個(gè)演說(shuō)影響頗巨,這倒是事實(shí)。根據(jù)某項(xiàng)研究報(bào)告指出聲音低沉的男性比聲音高亢的男性,其信賴(lài)度較高。因?yàn)槁曇舻统習(xí)屓擞蟹N威嚴(yán)沉著的感覺(jué)。盡管如此,各位還是不可能馬上就改變自己的聲音??傊?,重要的是讓自己的聲音清楚地傳達(dá)給聽(tīng)眾。即使是音質(zhì)不好的人,如果能夠稟持自己的主張與信念的話(huà),依舊可以吸引聽(tīng)眾的熱切關(guān)注。
說(shuō)話(huà)的速度也是演講的要素。為了營(yíng)造沉著的氣氛,說(shuō)話(huà)稍微慢點(diǎn)是很重要。標(biāo)準(zhǔn)大致為5分鐘三張左右的A4原稿,不過(guò),此地要注意的是,倘若從頭至尾一直以相同的速度來(lái)進(jìn)行,聽(tīng)眾會(huì)睡覺(jué)的。
三、 英文演講和中文演講的區(qū)別
我們的社會(huì)政治情況與國(guó)外不太一樣。美國(guó)人從小學(xué)開(kāi)始就要競(jìng)選這個(gè)、競(jìng)選那個(gè),比如俱樂(lè)部經(jīng)理、學(xué)生會(huì)主席,跟政治競(jìng)選差不多,所以他們的講演發(fā)達(dá),在講演培訓(xùn)方面也開(kāi)展得比較好。在西方國(guó)家,特別是英語(yǔ)國(guó)家更加重視演講。中國(guó)在這方面滯后了一點(diǎn)兒,但是現(xiàn)在講演的風(fēng)氣開(kāi)始興盛,這很是令人喜悅。隨著我們對(duì)外經(jīng)貿(mào)、外交關(guān)系的拓展,學(xué)英語(yǔ)講英語(yǔ)的形勢(shì)更加喜人。
那么,英文演講和中文演講相比有哪些區(qū)別呢?實(shí)際上一樣,關(guān)鍵在于了解演講對(duì)象,減少冗余信息。中文演講和英文演講實(shí)際上是一樣的,關(guān)鍵是看你演講的對(duì)象。不管是用中文還是用英文演講,首先你要對(duì)自己的聽(tīng)眾要有一個(gè)很好的了解。在國(guó)外講演,講演超過(guò)半個(gè)小時(shí),你就要考慮這個(gè)時(shí)間是不是快到了,絕不要超過(guò)50分鐘。而且應(yīng)該留出一半以上的時(shí)間讓聽(tīng)眾來(lái)提問(wèn)題。在中國(guó)情況就有所不同,實(shí)際上現(xiàn)在中國(guó)人也愿意聽(tīng)短話(huà),特別是沒(méi)有什么信息量的套話(huà)說(shuō)法。
在講演當(dāng)中,語(yǔ)言文字的運(yùn)用很重要。第一,語(yǔ)言表達(dá)純熟清晰。第二,以對(duì)方習(xí)慣的方式、喜歡的方式來(lái)講。第三,要有內(nèi)容。當(dāng)聽(tīng)眾通過(guò)贊揚(yáng)英文的辦法來(lái)贊揚(yáng)你時(shí),例如觀(guān)眾對(duì)你說(shuō)Articulate,這是表示你講得非常清晰,你聽(tīng)到這樣的評(píng)語(yǔ)之后,實(shí)際上就說(shuō)明你的內(nèi)容已經(jīng)打動(dòng)了人。適應(yīng)聽(tīng)眾思維習(xí)慣,在講演一定要注意觀(guān)眾的反映。我的講話(huà)就是半個(gè)小時(shí),必要的時(shí)候縮短20分鐘。我看大家睜著眼睛很安安靜靜的在聽(tīng),我就多講幾句。講話(huà)不要長(zhǎng),講20分鐘就可以打住了,然后讓人家提問(wèn)題,這個(gè)10分鐘是有效的10分鐘,你可以根據(jù)他們提的問(wèn)題,不完全是切中這個(gè)問(wèn)題放大放開(kāi)講。
學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)也沒(méi)有什么捷徑可走。
一是慢慢積累,不要放棄?;A(chǔ)一定要打好,特別是語(yǔ)法的基礎(chǔ)。在學(xué)校學(xué)的時(shí)間不長(zhǎng),但是基礎(chǔ)必須非常穩(wěn)固。
二是多看、多讀、多模仿。英語(yǔ)開(kāi)始就是模仿,注意外國(guó)人的表達(dá)方法。另一方面要非常注意閱讀。像《新聞周刊》、《時(shí)代》等等,而且是越看不明白的東西越看。
三是要記錄。寫(xiě)有用的短語(yǔ)、詞句,要把它記下來(lái),而且要注意比較外國(guó)人和中國(guó)不同的表達(dá)法。舉個(gè)例子,中國(guó)人講話(huà)的時(shí)候,謝謝大家對(duì)我的熱烈歡迎,很平實(shí)的。英語(yǔ)國(guó)家的人講這么一句話(huà),“Thank you for the warm hospitality that makes me feel so welcome。”意思就是“謝謝你們的好客,這個(gè)好客使我感覺(jué)到自己如此受歡迎”。假如你沒(méi)有看過(guò)英文、聽(tīng)過(guò)英文,你絕對(duì)不能想到這么表達(dá)。所以你就要學(xué),就要聽(tīng)。我們不能說(shuō)我學(xué)的時(shí)候?qū)W了,自己講得時(shí)候還照中文講,不能這樣,要用英文來(lái)思維,越是覺(jué)得有點(diǎn)怪怪的,越是要學(xué)的。時(shí)間久而久之,你就不會(huì)講中式英文。

Just smile and go to the next card. Not the one in front of you, but to the next following. Look at the first word on it. This will be the point from which you will now continue. Of course you missed part of your speech. But nobody will notice it. They will blame themselves for not following your thoughts.只需要微微一笑,繼續(xù)下一張卡片上的內(nèi)容,不是擺在你目前的那張卡片,而是下一張??匆幌驴ㄆ系牡谝粋€(gè)單詞,這就是你要繼續(xù)的要點(diǎn)。當(dāng)然你會(huì)遺漏一部分內(nèi)容,但是沒(méi)有人會(huì)注意到這一點(diǎn)。聽(tīng)眾只會(huì)責(zé)怪自己沒(méi)有跟上你的思路。
