The Art Of Public Speaking: Make An Audience Love You In 90 Seconds 

The human brain is a wonderful thing. It starts working the moment you are born, and never stops until you stand up to speak in public.

Thank you for evaluating my speech. and yes I do agree with you about the crushing cigarette thing at the end. looking back at it, I think I would've finished stronger without it

Summary: Start: 1. Provocative Question, 2. Props, 3. Humor, 4. Get the audience to interact, speak, move, raise their hands, think, 5. Use a metaphor Middle: appeal to emotion using Personal Anecdotes End: Connect to metaphor

I learned persuasive techniques today 1. Alliteration 2. Repetition 3. Emotive language 4. Rhetorical question 5. Anecdote 6. Stats 7. Metaphors 8. Similes 9. Puns 10. Cliches

Today while I was aimlessly watching videos on youtube when I came across your video on eye contact, with Bill Clinton. I watched your video analysis and was instantly captivated. I immediately subscribed to your channel and began watching your other videos, and I came to a conclusion. What you are doing here is pure genius and unbelievably helpful. I can't thank you enough for how much you have helped me. I have applied your suggestions to me daily life, and with a little practice they have worked wonders. Keep up the good work I look forward to watching your videos for a long time to come!

I got an A during my Oral Recitation thanks to your videos Sir! It helped me a lot... Its really practical

Holy cow, you saved me with this one. A couple others and I were assigned to talk to school heads about a project were working on and to represent the class, and boy oh boy did this make it slide smoother for me. I used a book as a prop, and made it interactive by making them actually solve a puzzle which was a part of the project. They all were blown away! A nice side effect I noticed is that this made me the more domminant speaker and put me in a leadership position to some extent...

I had to do a 5 minute presentation in high school about some history war guy that I don't remember, but I was the only kid in school who could solve a Rubix Cube. When I got up to present, I had an unsolved Rubix cube and after every "slide" I would do a sequence. I timed it so that by the end I would have a solved cube. No one understood why but everyone loved it.

Most interesting. I have presented to many audiences, small and large. I totally agree about the first few minutes. One of my most interesting presentations was given to a group of about 400 middle school students. I was to tell them about what I did for a living; i.e. my career. I am an electrical engineer and my career was in industrial automation. So, how do you engage a group of kids with that subject matter? (Originally, I was to present to one class of 20, but in the last 10 minutes I was told that they had changed the plan and I would present to the entire school!) As I walked onto the stage in the center of the auditorium I looked at all of those eyes looking at me. I knew that if I waited about 30 seconds to a minute I could have them, as they anxiously awaited for me to speak. I love audience interaction, and I had not planned on this large group at all. So, I asked them, "How many of you have ever been in an industrial mill?" About 80% raised their hands, and I thought, great this is going to be easy. Then I asked them, "OK, what did you see?" Nearly all of the 80% raised their hands, and I had about 4 or 5 respond, then I told them, "OK, let's talk about what I do". I knew that I had them just by looking at their faces. At the end, and I had an hour to speak, I told them that I had some trinkets to give them, but and since I had originally planned on 20 I did not have enough for all 400, so I told them that in the final minutes whoever asked a question would get one, and kids at that age all want a gift, so those 20 trinkets went quickly. When I had given my last trinket I looked up at the clock in the rear of the auditorium and saw my time was up, so I thanked them and concluded the presentation. I have found that when presenting regardless of the subject matter, never ever use notes, and never ever stand behind a podium. In one other instance I had an hour presentation to a group of about 40 in Brazil and none of them spoke English, and I did not speak Portuguese! I had a white board at my disposal so I used it to convey what I was saying, and to my surprise, you don't have to be able to speak the same language as your audience to get your point across. OH, and I love to present regardless of topic, and I have never had any formal training, I just watched and listened to presenters and adopted what I liked about how they did and what they did.

Who is here for a speech for school😅

How Do I implement this in a school presentation?

I ate an apple in front of my class to start, the speech went very well

How To Reduce Stress: 1. Don’t respond to negativity 2. Stay active 3. Eat healthier 4. Read and write more 5. Give without expectations 6. Visualize, then act 7. Spend quality time with family 8. Write ‘thank you’ notes 9. Be a better friend 10. Do a random acts of kindness

Whos here for school?

I enjoyed this breakdown on this keynote. What impressed me the most is the use of silence throughout the presentation. I also liked the stories used and the level he uses to better allow the audience to experience what was happening. Your breakdown was very detailed and clear to understand. This helps me with my awareness of what to listen for in a keynote.

I have been these tricks for one year in very single presentation I give in my business school. I have scored highest marks when it came to presentation and debate. these tip and tricks are really effective.

Would love to see a video on speaking at meetings, not necessarily giving a presentation but just holding our grounds and getting your point across in a conversation with multiple people.

"I want you to watch the whole video." *doesn't include video link*

I love hearing this as I walk in this beautiful weather. Life is good!!

Thanks for tips and for using Mohammed Al-Qahtani's speech. He is a fantastic speaker and I personally met him and listened to him during SATAC 2017 at Princess Norah University Riyadh which was sponsored by SABIC - my ex- employers. Being a member of the Saudi Toastmasters community, it was a proud moment for us when he won the world championship in the International Toastmasters Public Speaking Competition in 2015.

This is great Charlie! I’m not sure why this is in my feed again but I needed this and I remember how great it was when you first dropped it! Thanks for all you do to help me make my channel and my business better ! I appreciate you & your team Charlie!

Gorgeous opening!!!! I really like that. I love your style.

I love how simple your format is for literally just watching a cut up video and pausing at certain spots so we can hear your voice. That's easy to produce similar videos.

This is so cool! I inadvertently just did this. I’m an amateur speaker. We just had an event where we wanted to celebrate and encourage the ladies. We literally “rolled out the red carpet” for them and took their pictures on the way in. They loved it! As I opened, I referred to their moment on the red carpet. I added, “Our goal for tonight was to celebrate you. But we don’t just want to make you feel special, we want to help you understand just how special you really are.” The red carpet was not intended to be a speech prop, we truly wanted to bless the ladies. But in effect it worked exactly as you laid out here.

I learned a lot from this. It was particularly helpful to hear specifics like capturing their attention within the first 10 seconds and engaging audience interaction within 60 seconds. Also, I came the understand the importance of not telling the audience what you are going to talk about in the first minute of the presentation. This structure was very helpful.

It has really good tips!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge on public speaking.

This is amazing! I've never done public speaking in my life. But I practice and visualize public speaking in my mind, and believe it or not I've actually hit most of these points when I practice/pretend. Hopefully one day I'll be able to give a public speech where I can put them into action.

Even though you think this is "cliche", at the end of his speech crushing the cigarette, it is required in learning to how to give a speech. At least that is what my teacher is requiring. I am glad I found this, I have to re-read and then re-write my speech I wrote yesterday, I am struggling with it. It sure helps on those points, thank you.

thank you so much for this video, I wrote a whole page of what I learned from just this one video!

I love the use of props and the idea of using them to come full circle. Also telling stories are one of the most powerful ways to connect with people. Great video! Really enjoyed 🙌🏻

I'm studying your videos to better myself thanks man :)

This was such an interesting and informative video. I really learned a lot, and can clearly see why he was nominated for best Toastmasters Speaker 2015.

did my first toastmasters the other day and got best performance of the night! thanks Charlie!!

This video was very helpful. Learning that I must grab the audience's attention within the first 10 seconds, I need to get audience interaction so they will engage in what I'm saying, and make sure I have stories in my presentation along with points to the stories was really informative. Then I can't forget acting out my stories. Thank you so much!

I gave a presentation in my business communication class about why you should have backups of your computer. I took an old macbook I had laying around with no parts inside and began the presentation by throwing it on the ground. Worked great

Great points and will watch his whole presentation! Thanks for kicking off another learning/presentation trail for me

Very good speech & analysis. thanks for sharing!

I found the way you broke down this speech to explain and evaluate was extremely powerful and informative. Thank you for doing so. Can you create a video about speaking to younger audiences about important topics such as adversity and resilience? Thanks so much.

I like that you are teaching with an example thank a lot

thanks for all the help! That's my speech done. You really know what you're talking about.

Charlie, This is the best analysis of this amazing speech. Thank you .

I love your videos! As a really shy and reserved person, your videos provide a lot of interesting insight and tips! Have you ever considered doing a segment on Jon Stewart or one of his correspondents? It would be really cool to see how they pull of charisma and humor so effectively!

I learned that a keynote is a performance that includes humor, stories, utilizes the power of pauses and your asking questions. End the presentation with and emotional statement and a close for action.

This is amazing. Thank you for you deep instructions. I have received the teaching and will apply to my keynotes! Thank you!

Great video. I'm a stand up comic and this really helps me think about how I organize my set- not just spitting out a bunch of random jokes, but to take the audience on a journey. Thumbs up!

I whole heartedly appreciate you sharing this video. The techniques that I learned from this has truly transformed my presentation style.

So true what has been said. And even the Proverb 18:21- says "Death and Life are in the power of your tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit".

Hey Charlie, your deconstruction was brilliant. You deserve way more views and subs. I'm rooting for you, keep up the good work!

I love it! Once again, youre awesome man.

would love to see a video on Ragnar from Vikings. the character seems to ooze charisma whenever he talks.

Excellent break down I have won Toastmasters contest and got to the semi-final rounds this speaker extremely natural and is very connected even comes through on the camera

I really enjoyed this speaker and his mixture of comedy and more thoughtful moments. I also thought your critique of his presentation was top notch. I am learning so much for COC . Thank you .

I find Steve Jobs' presentations hugely inspiring. One of the finest public speakers of the modern era, in my opinion

Thanks, that helped on a school Presentation

It's absolutely amazing to see such videos, quite helpful and intriguing... Especially when you added the facts on the human brain.

I had an English Speech that I have to do, but this video gave me a high score because of your lecture THANKS YOU

You should do a video on how to write a killer essay or captivating letter. I mean it's just a suggestion but it would be cool to see how you deconstruct it and present it. By the way I love your game of thrones videos it added so much more depth to the show for me, I may have to re-watch the show and do character analyses for every character. And even do the same with the books I read. You have inspired me. So thank you for being the trigger or door opener to the thirst I have for more depth and understanding. I'm going to be such a nerd it's going to be awesome. I'm gonna have fun with this. XD

Works like magic. Thanks !

This is so amazing 🤩 I've learned new things because of this video. I hope you could make another video like this. I will really appriciate your effort. Thank you so much for this channel 😊

Thanks, I’ll use your tips for my next speaking engagement in April. Great video!

“Even though I just made them up.” First minute capture attention than go into human brains love for stories (anecdotes) Take into present tense and demonstrate. He does a big sighhh Attention body than insight at end moral.

Awesome!!! I love his anecdote and how he hook the audience

Keep these videos up man, I can't get enough!

Fantastic break down! I’m changing my opening of my speech for tonight!

Fantastic tips....but I'm afraid you missed something: Could you give us a list of the 6 tips? While watching the video I only came up with 5....1 Use a prop. 2. Get the audience responding to you. 3. Use humor. 4. Tell a story. 5. Leave the audience with a thought-provoking idea or a way to take action. Did I miss something?

This is amazing! I wish I've found this earlier.

I just started to watch this video and it’s helping me already !!!

thanks this elevates my confidence I need to go speak to an audience in school Its about how you diliver not just what you say

Informative and thought-provoking. Thanks for taking the time to break this down and offer some solid analysis!

excellent job. fabulous, amazing😁😁

Thank you for making this video, one of the best on this subject !

Thanks for posting. Inspiring, and I´ll use it for my next presentation

would be great to have the 6 tips on the side of the video so visually we can relate and remember!

The Hook at the beginning is so important!

I just found your channel and I'm hooked! Thank you so much. :)

I just finished a story telling training organised by our organizations. How fabulous was it! I just came to get down to this video to get more experienced and it is awesome. I have to get and hit the subscribe and the 🔔.

Great video, as always. I'm sure you'll become real popular one day.

What is "cliché" at the end is more the meaningless punchlines than crushing the cigarette! But Toastmasters is about packaging, not content. This distinction of context is everything!

This helps, thanks. I'm a 78 year old transvestite atheist, trying to save the world from nuclear obliteration. It's a tall order but I believe there is a possibility the world might wake up to what's really going on.

Hi there, thank you for the tips. I have sat through so many boring presentations so there is definitely a need for inspiration :-)

Dude, I think Ravi Zacharias would be an awesome breakdown. Excellent videos btw, thanks for the good job!!

Hi Charisma, I"m not sure you're able to read and respond to all the comments, but I'd like to add mine as a way of Thankfulness and support. I love public speaking and have learned a lot about behaviors, postures, eye contact etc.... But do you have advise about creating content (i.e. speaker notes)? I really like to inspire people especially regarding confidence. I wrote a Bestseller (Awaken your confidence) and would like to hear your suggestion about how you select the content out of a book to create interaction with the public. What I mean is that a book is too much information, obviously, and it's hard to select one piece to create a presentation. Or anybody here can share their experience too. Always nice to hear. Thanks! Rachel

Just subscribed yesterday and have been watching your insightful videos. Your delivery is what grabbed my attention- unique style and honesty in relaying information. Thanks Charlie!

For a speech tournament I copied his speech (we were supposed to copy another persons speech and give it for the comp) and I won 2nd out of like 200 ppl I love this speech, I still have it memorized like 2 yrs later.

Ahh man that had me laugh out loud. I was so excited smiling ear to ear thinking i dont have to quit smoking.. When he said he made it up i busted out laughing. That was a good one

In one of your videos you said that Tony Robbins is the best communicator. I think, considering this, you should make more videos about his style !

You explained this really well, thanks!

Excellent video with great tips I will use as an MC for an event I'm working at. Thank you.

Can you tell us where to find the whole speech?

I would’ve lit the smoke and walked off 😂

A powerful voice adds to the substance of presentation.

Thank you very much for these insights. Great tips there.

This is very important for school students

good stuff. thanks

Love the way you point out each movement.

Gracias es un gran video. It helps me for my future speech and those tips are so important to take it in mind.

This is some goooood stuff... hilarious but well executed

Can you do a video on Ryan Reynolds?

Fantastic summary, thanks! Would live to learn how to build intrigue :)

thank you so much for this wonderful vid, it helped me a lot. A lot means A LOT!
