Introduction to Public Speaking
About this Course
This course offers a proven framework for crafting and delivering impactful presentations. In the professional world, academic settings, or public life, we\'re frequently asked to \"share some thoughts.\" Many individuals struggle in these situations. This course aims to make you excel where others stumble. We\'ll explore how to structure speeches coherently, write memorably, and present confidently. Upon completion, you will diminish your public speaking anxiety, leverage rehearsal methods to develop a robust, engaging speaking voice, and execute speeches with dynamic movements. The speech model we\'ll practice is versatile for briefings, elevator pitches, interviews, and even as a blueprint for hour-long presentations. Whether you\'re a novice or an experienced speaker, this course will help you master speaking fundamentals or elevate your public speaking skills to new heights. As a bonus, you\'ll gain access to an immersive VR experience that lets you perfect your presentation skills in a simulated auditorium or conference room, complete with a virtual audience. You will receive real-time feedback, empowering you to refine your abilities through practice in a realistic setting.Created by: University of Washington
