2-Minute Tip: Let the Audience Respond
When you tell a joke, make a humorous aside, show an entertaining picture, or land a heavy or emotional point, it's important to give your audience a chance to experience the emotions you've just inspired in them. That means that while you plan your presentation, and your timing, you need to allow time to respect your audience's reaction. Remember also that when you practice you will not get the emotional response. Don't become so wedded to your practice timing that you skip over the response in the actual session.
Post Tip Discussion: Ancient Rhetoric TodayThere's lot's of new stuff to learn about public speaking, but that doesn't mean older stuff suddenly becomes obsolete. Nearly 2,500 years ago, Aristotle gave us a model for understanding rhetoric by balancing the spheres of Logos, Pathos, and Ethos.
For maximum success, a speaker must engage all three spheres with their audience.
