Oxford University tips for mastering public speaking at any age

Public speaking can be difficult, but with Oxford’s tips, you’ll speak confidently and effectively at any age.

Feeling nervous is part of speaking in front of others. The key is to practice and prepare. The more you do it, the easier it gets.

Revise your speech to make sure you're comfortable with it. Preparation builds confidence and reduces anxiety.

Focus on your audience, not yourself. Tailor your speech to their interests and needs for a better connection.

Your audience wants to learn from you. Frame your message in a way that speaks directly to them and their concerns.

Structure your speech clearly. Start with a strong introduction, followed by key points, and finish with a powerful conclusion.

Pay attention to your audience’s reactions. If they look confused or bored, adjust your delivery or tone to keep them engaged.

Don’t be afraid to show your true self. A personal touch will help your audience relate to you and your message.
