SOLVE A PROBLEM
Let the audience know a problem you are going to talk to them about solving that they can relate to.
If the audience is made of people who are there to learn how to live a healthier lifestyle, you can say something like “Who here has a difficult time creating a plan for a healthy lifestyle and sticking to it?”. Hands will shoot up all around the room. You can then tell them “I’m here to share steps and processes to living a healthier lifestyle.”

People are there to hear you speak for a reason. You’ve got a short window of opportunity to show them that they are spending their time wisely. Right after your introduction, jump in and share something with them so they understand quickly that you know what you are talking about.

Know who your audience is and the reason they are listening to you. If your audience is the board of directors, you probably want to dress the part and speak in a more formal tone and ensure you highlight the most important points.

The people who are visibly engaged, enjoying your presentation, and nodding "yes." If you find audience members who are positively interacting with you, you'll be much more confident and relaxed than if you try to convince the naysayers.

You should never talk as you walk out on stage. "A lot of people start talking right away, and it's out of nerves, "That communicates a little bit of insecurity and fear." Instead, quietly walk out on stage. Then take a deep breath, find your place, wait a few seconds, and begin.

Connect with your Audience
Every speaker desires a positive 'connection' with the audience. That can be difficult in some cases. Not every audience is the same. And some audiences must be 'convinced.' Wouldn't it be great if your audience listened intently to every word you said? It's conceivable.
There are several methods for connecting with your audience. Some are simple. And your audience will feel more connected to you without you being overt about it.

Respond to what you see

Many speakers are very self-focused when they are on stage. Most of the time, this is not intentional. But speakers want to do a good job. So they focus on the job they feel is most important: the words and the slides.
If you focus only there, you will lose the attention of the audience. Because there is no connection.
A good speaker has to know what happens in the room, at all times. Are people paying attention, are they bored, are they engaged? Who is laughing and who isn’t? And who seems to agree or disagree with you?
If you feel the room agrees or doesn’t agree, for example, act on it. Tell them “I see some people disagree, that’s fine, here’s why I feel it is like this…”
The mere fact that you are responding to their movements shows you care. And caring means connecting.

Look at people a bit longer

It’s common advice for speakers: “Look to all parts of the room and focus on some people”. Great advice, but you need to be careful with this. If you ‘glance’ over the audience too much, they will feel neglected. They feel you don’t ‘see’ them.

What you want is a real connection. This means looking people in the eye. In fact, look at some people a bit longer. Not too long, that gets creepy, but long enough to get the connection. Get a smile even. It will bring you closer. Look at them, really connect with your audience.

Smile and have fun

Smiling is one of the most underestimated parts of public speaking. If you want to connect, the audience must feel you like them. And if you are not smiling, how will they ever feel you like them?

Once you show you are enjoying yourself on stage, the audience will become part of that. And they will feel closer to you.

Be personal
Which brings me to a very important part of your presentation. You have to make any presentation you do personal. People bond with you, not with the presentation. So as soon as you can make part of the presentation personal, you will get closer to the audience.

This doesn’t mean you have to keep telling stories about yourself or your kids all the time. It does mean, you want to connect the content of the presentation to your personality. Show the connection between you and what you are trying to get across. People will like you, and your talk, better.

Walk towards your audience
There are speakers who stand behind a desk. And there are those (like myself) who like to walk around. I prefer the walking way, for several reasons. For one, it’s a way of getting closer to your audience.

By physically getting closer to your audience, you will make them feel closer to you as well. So walk towards them. Make them ‘part’ of your presentation. And it will create a bond.

7. Compliment your audience
Finally, a great way to connect with your audience is to compliment them. Tell them how great they are.

There are several parts in the presentation where you can do this. At the start, you can make a compliment about the location, the city that you are in or the company that you are presenting at. During the talk, you can tell them you can see they are a smart audience. “I don’t need to tell you this, you know this”, shows you feel they are smart. And at the end of the talk, you can say you enjoyed their presence.

A compliment can do many things!

8. Tell a story
As you can see, there are many ways of getting a connection with your audience. The one important thing you have to keep in mind is that it has to be about them. They need to be able to recognise themselves.

COMMON MYTHS ABOUT PUBLIC SPEAKING.

Perfectionism
Perfection is a myth that is only perpetuated by those who are disconnected from reality. In reality, it is a dangerously delusory belief system that prevents many from ever attempting. There is no such thing as perfection, so let us put this speaking myth to rest. Instead, prepare, practice, and concentrate on giving the best speech possible.

Memorization is the Answer

Many first-time speakers believe they must memorize their speeches word for word. Memorization is not required for a successful speech, and it can often harm rather than help performance and delivery.Instead, master your content and, if necessary, memorize the key parts of your speech and practice delivering them from memory with vigor, energy, and enthusiasm.

Over practicing Makes Perfect

The overused adage "practice makes perfect" can be very bad advice at times. While proper practice is essential for effective speaking, over-practicing can drain the life out of speech. There is a balance between monotone (robotic) delivery and inspired enthusiastic delivery. Instead, know your content and deliver it with vigor and excitement, rather than a robotic overused droning.

Natural Born Speakers

Some people mistakenly believe that speakers are born rather than created. Like leadership, public speaking is a learned skill that has nothing to do with your genetics. These are skills that you practice and learn over time, not ones that you are born with. This myth deters aspiring public speakers from rising to the occasion and becoming the best communicators they can be.

Expert Speakers Have No Anxiety

Despite this persistent myth, even experienced speakers experience 'butterflies in their stomachs.' Even the most experienced speakers will admit to having some level of anxiety when speaking. Human emotions are normal and should be accepted and understood rather than suppressed. Instead, the seasoned speaker has learned to control his or her emotions and make his or her butterflies fly in unison.

Glossophobia, or the fear of public speaking, is a common phobia, but there are coping strategies that can help. Effective public speaking requires good communication skills as well as the ability to engage others effectively. You must understand how to keep an audience's attention and engage them in what you are saying.

It also necessitates an understanding of communication skills such as tone and volume. If you have a speech coming up, practicing these skills may feel overwhelming and cause anxiety.

Some professional careers, as well as academic programs where you may be required to make presentations, require public speaking. If this makes you nervous, you're not alone.Public speaking anxiety can be all-consuming. If your anxiety about public speaking is getting in the way of doing your job effectively or your life, it may be time to seek coaching.
