hauncey M. Depew once said, "There is no other accomplishment which any man can have that will so quickly make for him a career and secure recognition as the ability to

speak acceptably." Your ability to express yourself confidently, no matter the audience, has the full potential of giving you leadership and authority anywhere you find yourself more than almost any other activity you can think of.

In all nations and among every race of people, we all long for the attainment of confidence in public speaking. There are few things that can compare with standing boldly before an audience, be it small or large, and making them appreciate your thoughts after hearing from you.

Notwithstanding the enormous benefits that accrue to the man that can master speaking boldly in public, one common fear many of us have from childhood to adulthood is the fear of the audience.

And no matter how hard we try to avoid audience in our lifetime, a day comes when we eventually have to stand before an audience. Educational and occupational systems offer us a wide variety of opportunities to speak to audience. Preparing yourself to manage any audience size life brings you is a prudent thing to do.

I have seen how great men have been robbed of respect and dignity by their reaction before an audience. On the other hand, some ordinary men have received extraordinary honor and respect after delivering a vital speech.

From our churches through to our schools and businesses, the demand for fearless communicators and the management of audience cannot be overemphasized.

If there is a season in which individuals must express themselves publicly without fear, I believe it is now. The days of denying yourself the privilege of speaking in public and of rejecting appointments of mass communication must be far over. The secrets of speaking without fear have been hereby exposed. Go on ahead and enjoy the freedom of knowing who you are and your distinct flow of communication.

See you at the top of your chosen field; on the thriving wings of your speaking abilities anytime anywhere. Yes, you have been wired in the likeness of God to speak and never be afraid of any audience. By the time you are through with this book, standing before an audience would be aa motivation and never a condition of fright.

A Wrong Picture

communicate with other people each day of our lives. But we begin to be afraid when we have to

speak formally to people in a gathering or meeting. Each of us have the ability to communicate but only few have developed this ability to an adorable state. Our fear of audience often stems from the fact that we have the wrong picture of who an audience is. The image that comes into our minds when we hear the word "Audience’’ is a ‘Large’ number of people sitting or standing.

According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, An audience refers to "the assembled spectators or listeners at a public event such as a play, film, concert or meeting.’’

We must know that individuals make up an audience. It should have been easier

talking to all the individuals at

the same time. However, that is not always true because of the different perspectives with which we view the act of standing before an audience. All great speakers know that

The image that comes into our minds when we hear the word Audience is a LARGE

NUMBER’ of people sitting or standing.

to have a good delivery, you must speak to the audience with the motive of addressing each individual in the audience. Likewise, we need to start seeing the art of public speaking as talking
