Are You Guilty of These 3 Common Speaking Mistakes on Stage?

On this episode of Speaking Sessions, we're talking about the do's and don'ts of public speaking. Philip is a public speaking coach and he has curated three tips that people are often told to do when addressing an audience, but instead, they should stop doing. The most common problem is breathing into the mic and this is not a good practice. As an audience member, hearing someone breathe right into the mic is a little weird and uncomfortable. The second tip concerns movement during presentations. Walking back and forth across the stage can be distracting, and some speakers can cover up to two miles during an hour-long speech due to excessive movement. Finally, the third tip is not revealed in this excerpt, but can you guess what it is? Philip shares his insights on how to move on stage without coming across as rehearsed and unnatural. He emphasizes how important it is to be confident when speaking in public and what you can do to inspire trust in your audience.
