Preface
I have written this book keeping the Indian audience in mind. I want to assure you that you have the potential to achieve your goal, and at the same time, I would like to congratulate you for choosing this book because this is the one which will take you to your success. I am confident and can guarantee that you can become a great speaker if you adopt all the techniques described in this book. I assure you that you will enjoy your speech as much as you will enjoy reading this book.
Speakers are not born great; they undergo a lot of training to become good speakers. As it is rightly said: ‘Practice makes a man perfect’. They learn the techniques and work hard so that they are able to deliver a good and attractive speech. Working hard is the foremost and most commendable and authentic way to get success because hard work has no alternative .
In Western countries, people have compiled and composed a lot of literature on ‘how to become a good speaker’. However, these books do not suit the Indian audience. I have prepared this first of its kind book after a good deal of research and dedication. My family has sacrificed a lot for the book. In the process of creating this book, I often stayed away from them. You are reading the book today only because of their sacrifice and support.
I am very grateful to the girl because of whom I stepped into the world of writing. I am grateful to that girl, whom I treat as my sister. She has appreciated me at every point and helped me convert my thinking to literature. I would also like to thank those people also who criticised me as they inspired me to enhance my personality through their criticism.
I would be happy if this book helps you in anyway. If that happens, I would think I achieved my goal.
Surendra Dogra ‘Nirdosh’
It’s Easy to be a Good Speaker
M any people and leaders in the world became great, as they were good speakers besides being knowledgeable. Today, the speeches of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Winston Churchill and John Kennedy are equally remembered as are their achievements. An effective speaker not only presents and establishes himself but also inspires many others in their professional and personal life. I have committed many mistakes in my life and surmounted many problems to become successful. My aim of writing this book is that I do not want you to repeat those mistakes; in fact I don’t want anybody to do the same mistakes I did. I guess the techniques given in this book will save your time and lead you in the right way so that you can become a good speaker. However, before presenting to you the basic concepts of how to become a good speaker I would like to congratulate you for choosing the right book as you will be able to get the success of a particular thing when it comes to action with a good start. As it is rightly said, ‘ Well begun is half done ’, which implies – a good start means half of your work is done.
If you want to get maximum benefit out of this book, you should make yourself believe that I have written this book only for you. Forget that someone else or many more are also reading this book at the time when I say I write this book for ‘YOU’. When I use the word ‘YOU’, it points towards you, only you, that is, the one who is reading the book at that time. You must have seen some people talking very effectively and confidently, whether they are at a friend’s place or are travelling in a bus or a train. But let me tell you honestly that their (most of them) voice, legs and hands will start shivering if they will be asked to address a public gathering. While working with the Akashvani radio, I have seen women, who can talk endlessly, falling short of words when I tried to record their conversation or tried to put them in front of a microphone. Have you ever thought why people are not able to speak in front of a crowd? You might think of the following reasons:
One reason, you might think that you cannot speak well like a good speaker. Second, maybe, whether your voice will reach every person sitting in the room or not. Thirdly, you might think that your thoughts are inferior to the people sitting there and that they might laugh at your views.
To be confident, you need to believe that you can deliver a good, attractive and well-organised speech, but at the same time, you should keep in mind and honestly realise that there is still a lot to improve on your part. If you move forward keeping all these things in mind and adopting all the techniques mentioned in the book, I reassure that you will be a good speaker. That is, you will not be afraid of putting your views in front of people and deliver a well-organised speech. You might have a little fear but believe me, a little bit of fear is necessary to get the optimum success. However, you can get rid of it if you wish.
We develop our knowledge according to our experiences but we usually do not know or perhaps don’t even want to know the basic principles of many things. I have an example here to make you understand the statement better. One of my friends was an extremely good player of Skiing.
She participated in many national level games and in 1999 she went to Korea for participating in the Asiad representing India. I have never seen her practicing regularly and quite efficiently. But one interesting thing I notice is that she used to compete with the people who taught her the game and always beat them. When I asked her the reason behind playing with her teachers, she said that you should have the knowledge of the basic principles of the game; in that case, you will never play wrong even if you loose.
The same method is applicable in the process to become a good speaker. Once you start understanding and grasping the basic principles of delivering a speech, you will never deliver a bad speech or will never mak
