The FAQ Book on Public Speaking

 | Author:yowkia |  |

Public speaking has become my passion since mid of year 2007. Since then I have been searching for books about public speaking. I am a web-savvy and I always look for answers from google.com. I always love to search website which provides FAQ site. The reason is because most of the answers I can get from the FAQ site.

I have been an avid reader of a public speaking blog by Eric Feng, a remarkable public speaker in Singapore. There was one day, I saw “The FAQ Book on Public Speaking” from his website. This book was written by Eric Feng, Kelvin Lim and Irene Ang. Wow.. FAQ! I love FAQ…. I didn’t know that public speaking skills can be written in a FAQ manner and it can be published in a book!

I have to admit that I was quite skeptical to this book initially. Until one day, I went to MPH bookstore to flip through the book. Oh, this book was something that I have been searching for. Most of the questions that always appeared in my mind, I found them in the book.

There are a total of 75 questions and answers categorized in 13 categories.
- Overcoming your nervousness and stage fright
- Connecting with your audience
- Organize your speech for maximum impact
- Getting your audience interested, influenced and inspired
- Preparing and rehearsing your speech the optimal way
- Speaking from the platform - Dos and Don’ts
- Mastering your delivery on stage
- Overcoming language barriers
- Igniting your passion from within
- Finding your speaking style
- Revealing the secrets of successful speaking
- Winning a speech contest
- Getting up close and personal

Eric is right. “Public speaking is really about enjoying your life and journey, using your experiences and accomplishments, and turning them into stories that you can use in your presentations so as to inspire your audiences to improve their lives.”

Nowadays, at every single moment, I think about public speaking… I’m co-ordinating speechcraft workshop for The Frontier Toastmasters Club and I want to inspire the participants to start and continue their journey in Toastmasters… I have used some of the techniques share in “The FAQ Book on Public Speaking” and the result was quite satisfactory.

If you are serious in public speaking or if you are curious about public speaking, grab this book NOW - “The FAQ Book on Public Speaking
