I think eye contact is very very important in public speaking. How a public speaker handles it is crucial to the success of the speech.

Thanks for making the point Sire.

If you think that you may be next for the eye contact… you pay attention. The way we do in a conversation.

Appreciate your comment and your input into the post.

I think you’re spot on with the importance of eye contact. I’ve always been suspicious of people who have no eye contact when speaking to you, it’s almost as if they’re trying to hide something.

I have to admit though it would be hard to do in a big crowd, but if you see that the speaker is continually focusing on those around you, you’re not going to fade away because you never know, that next person may be you.

Hi Martyna
I’m the Midlands Area Development Officer for the Association of Speakers Clubs in the UK.
I spend my time spreading the word about Public Speaking and helping people overcome their fears.
I’m also a member of a Sans Souci Speakers Club who are based in Solihull just outside Stratford Upon Avon in the UK.

wow, that’s impressive, how are You using the skill?
I am not involved with public speaking yet, I am still a bit shy when it comes to facing the crowds, so next time I will concentrate on a particular individual.

Hi Martyna
You’ve hiit the nail on the head. Everyone feels more connected – speaker and audience.
I’ve been speaking now for about ten years and have been fortunate enough to get through to a couple of national speaking finals in the UK.
How about you – are you involved with Public Speaking?

Hi Keith!

absolutely, I am sure that when you concentrate on a single person, one after another, it is mutually beneficial, you feel more connected and they are participating.

Have You done much public speaking?

have a great great day
Ciao
Martyna
