Qualities of a good speaker

People are empathic. One of the most important things a speaker can do is be very relaxed and calm. Let it come out in your voice. Most tell a joke to break the ice. Make the speech as interesting as possible. There is nothing worse than a long drawn out boring speech. Brief and too the point works great, however you don't want the speech be too quick either. Remember, practice makes perfect. Get feedback and do it a lot. You will be a pro before you know it.

Talking to others sometimes can be a problem. I used to have it too then someone gave me an idea might help you out too. Before just to talk to anyone i used to feel lil scared and end up not doing anything at all. Other times just made a fool of myself. Trick is in just practise suppose you not comfortable talking to strangers. Just go for a stroll maybe and sit at a bus stop or place you feel good at. Many people would be walking near you. You can start talking to em maybe by just asking the time or maybe something small. Helped me mate hope it helps you :)

A good speaker should appear confident in front of the audience. He should sound confident, as well as look confident as well. You should also look presentable in the eyes of the crowd because no one is going to listen to someone who looks like he just got right off bed.
