Oratory skills

Oratory skills are a combination of the abilities you need to have to speak publicly. Great public speakers have to perfect their oratory skills over time before being as articulate and impactful with their speeches. With the proper oratory skills, anyone can be a good public speaker. 

Key oratory skills you need to possess

  • Charisma: Charisma is a feature that draws people’s attention, so it is an important public speaking skill. If you are personable and likable, people will enjoy listening to you, and that makes it easier for you to pass your message.
  • Confidence: An audience is more likely to connect with a confident speaker that looks like they know what they are saying. When you exude confidence, you are viewed as more likable, intelligent, and believable.
  • Passion: You can’t speak convincingly to an audience if you don’t look like you believe in what you’re saying. Audiences connect more with people that are visibly passionate and excited about their speech.
  • Authenticity: To connect with your audience, they have to relate to you on a personal level. You have to be yourself and look as natural as possible while giving your speech. Practice until you sound like you’re speaking from the heart.
  • Storytelling: Storytelling is one of the most important oratory skills because it simplifies ideas and draws an audience into the experience. They are more likely to remember a story than a boring speech.
