Оцените и, если возможно, проконтролируйте окружающую обстановку
Заранее составьте список всего, что необходимо вам знать, например, как проехать к месту выступления, формат выступления, очередность выступающих и наличие кафедры.
Если можно, придите на место выступления раньше, особенно в тех случаях, когда обстановка для вас абсолютно новая, лишнее время поможет получить более полную информацию и удобнее почувствовать себя в новом месте, устранить выявленные в последнюю минуту факторы, которые могут помешать сосредоточиться.
Договоритесь с соответствующим представителем, чтобы он сопровождал при проверке места выступления и проверьте:
• размер помещения;
• уровень комнатной температуры (отрегулируйте ее);
• расстояние от выступающего до слушателей (нужны ли какие-то изменения);
• высоту подиума, а также пюпитра для записей;
• работу и расположение микрофона или звуковой системы (опробуйте уровень звука);
• освещение, которое должно позволить читать текст выступления или записи;
• наличие питьевой воды;
• работу аудиовизуальной и вспомогательной системы, если они используются.
До появления на телевидении или радио получите информацию - непосредственно или через посредника - относительно формата, времени, грима, процедуры прямых телефонных звонков и других подробностей программы. Как правило, теле- и радиорежиссеры не ожидают, что их гости знакомы с обстановкой на телевидении и радио, поэтому в общих интересах сделать все возможное и «показать товар лицом». Если вы не уверены, что получили необходимую информацию, то спросите, задали ли вы все вопросы относительно того, что может оказаться полезным для успешной работы.
Unit 13 the nature of a speech
Text A
It is important to know the basic structure of an effective speech and imperative to incorporate these concepts into every speech you prepare.
A Speech is Heard, Not Read
The average speech has only one brief exposure - the few minutes during which the speaker is presenting it. There is no chance to go back, no time to let it slowly digest, no opportunity for clarification. The message must get across now or never.
You may be an accomplished writer, but you must realize that speaking is something else. The words may be the same, but the grammar, rhetoric, and phrasing are different. It is a different mode of expression - a different language.
One major difference is that you have to build up to a major point and prepare the audience for what is coming. The lead of a written story attempts to say everything in about 15 to 25 words right at the beginning. If a speaker used the same form, most of the audience probably wouldn't hear it. When a speaker begins to talk, the audience is still settling down - so the first one or two minutes are devoted to giving unimportant information: a humorous comment, remarks on how nice it is to be there, and so on.
You should also be aware that people's minds wander. As your speech progresses, you must restate basic points and also summarize your general message.
One platitude of the speaking circuit, but still a valid one, is to "tell them what you are going to tell them, tell it to them, and then tell them what you have told them". In this way, an audience is given a series of guideposts as they listen to the talk.
Some concepts used by writers are of course transferable to speaking. The words you use should be clear, concise, short and definite. Use words that specify, explain, and paint pictures for the audience.
