Try to talk about all sorts of incidents and adventures in a fascinating and extremely imaginative way...
TIP 1. Diction. Try to pronounce each word in a sentence slowly and with emphasis. Speak for as long as possible and try to do it all in one breath.
TIP 2. If possible, try to read out loud. This will help you understand better new material, since in the process of memorization it connects your two organs of perception - vision and hearing.
TIP 3. Learn to retell easily. Read a passage of any text, no more than five sentences, and retell it while doing so, trying to do it word for word, and then do it in your own words, constructing your own speech.
TIP 4. Verbal thinking. Freedom of any speech is achieved neither by reading articles nor by memorizing them, but only by regular exercise in mastering the skills of rhetoric of speech based on a summary consisting of keywords and your speech thinking. The speaker does not adhere to existing prepared phrases, but on the contrary, he pronounces the same thought over and over again, but each time doing it in a new way.
TIP 5. Try to talk about all sorts of incidents and adventures in a fascinating and extremely imaginative way. Jokes, short stories, travel notes what you tell should captivate your listeners.
TIP 6: Prepare a business message. A short segment from a newspaper article, retold in the form of keywords in your own words using a summary of these same keywords, is best retold many times with different verbal formats.
TIP 7: Prepare a speech that expresses your point of view. It can be any duration of no more than five minutes on a strictly defined topic: professional goal, hobby, etc. Use as many keywords as possible in the story, but try to replace them with synonyms.
TIP 8. Train your memory regularly. Everyone who wants to become a speaker must train their memory. Make it a rule to memorize something every day: learn a poem or an excerpt from a book, or even better, start learning a foreign language.
TIP 9. Subjugate your memory. Research shows that strengthening memory is achieved primarily by complex influence of three main factors:
- concentration of attention (increasing the ability to perceive);
- creation of associations (so-called “memory bridges”);
- repetition (the mother of learning).
TIP 10. Determine for yourself how you remember information better. Someone has motor memory , like Napoleon, a man with perhaps the best memory of names of his time: he wrote down a new name three times, then threw the note away and remembered that name. A person who has acoustic memory , needs to be learned out loud, he needs to hear what he is learning. The basis of memory for people tuned to visual perception , is, the deliberate placement of keywords.
TIP 11. When preparing your speech, take short pauses (creative breaks). It is better to master new material in two days, an hour at a time, than in two hours in one day. This happens because during the break between classes the subconscious continues to consolidate new information in your memory.
TIP 12. Prepare your speech in the following order:
Collection of material;
Selection of material and its organization;
Thinking through the material;
First edition of keywords;
Stylistic design of the main part;
Formulation of introduction and conclusion;
General control;
Final revision of keywords;
Rehearsal of the entire speech and performance.
Most full list one of the most useful and effective, at the same time simple and understandable, diction exercises.
Exercise thirty. Exercises for diction.
One day in Hollywood they started making a film called “The King’s Speech!” (actually "The King's Speech"). All the rhetoric teachers were inspired because they hoped to see a worthy work of cinema about the art of oratory. With great actors. With a quality story. With powerful directorial work.
And all this happened - the direction, the plot, the actors, everything was wonderful, the film collected an excellent box office, rave reviews, a bunch of awards and four Oscars, but it turned out that it was not about rhetoric, but about speech therapists. Speech therapists! Excellent film. And about speech therapists.
Since then, and the film was released in 2010, every person who decides to study rhetoric also wants to practice his diction. Is not that great?
Diction, part one.
The well-known Demosthenes, who successfully corrected his diction with the help of stones in his mouth, would remain a role model in our time, if not current prices for dentistry. Therefore, instead of stones, they now use a wine cork, either holding it with the front teeth, or simply holding it in the mouth. Find the cork, you will need it now.
Below are the lines, each of which should be spoken out loud in one breath. The first time the line must be read slowly, the second time in a whisper, the third time with a stopper, the fourth time without a stopper with normal speed, fifth time quickly.

Rhetoric is the art of speaking and inspiring. Rhetoric Exercises perform vital role- they remove the clamps and fear of public speaking that most novice speakers have. This is the first step. And after that comes a set of methods and skills that are necessary for a successful performance. And all this is given by exercises in rhetoric.
Rhetoric Exercises necessary, first of all, for public speaking training. But not only. Trainers often use rhetoric exercises in sales training, effective presentations, leadership and management training. After all, rhetoric skills are needed in all these areas.

If the group is advanced, then we carry out the second stage of the exercise - the participants make a connected story. The conditions are the same - all words begin with the same letter.
The exercise can be carried out in mini-groups or in a general group.

Each participant speaks for exactly 5 minutes. It is most convenient to carry out this exercise in mini-groups of 4-5 people, so that all participants in the training have time to practice.
If it is difficult for a participant to formulate a story and at the same time train gestures, then it is worth giving him absolutely famous text, for example, “A Christmas tree was born in the forest...”
Results of the exercise:
- Was it easy?

Rhetoric exercise “Story on a free topic”
Target: The exercise develops the skill of creativity in speech
Time: 30–35 minutes
Number of participants: any
Carrying out the exercise:
The presenter gives an introduction to the participant. For example: “I came home and saw a green man in a chair. He turned to me and said…. “Then the participant continues the story for 2 minutes. After that, we summarize the results of the speech:
- What did you like about the participant’s performance?
- What do you remember?
- What would you recommend adding?

The art of eloquence has great importance, because a person with his word can convince people of anything. Good speech both in personal life and in career is business card. Therefore, many would like to know how to develop eloquence. Such a skill is certainly necessary in personal self-development. There are special trainings and courses in public speaking. But you can learn eloquence on your own. Simple recommendations and special techniques will help improve your communication skills.
The word eloquence has different meanings. This is the ability to construct a reasoned speech, the ability to communicate on a variety of topics and the ability to present your thought so that it seems worthy of attention listener. To learn how to express one’s thoughts harmoniously and clearly, a special science was created - rhetoric. This teaching has certain advantages:
- Eloquence represents the skills and techniques of persuasion. If a person can choose his words wisely, then his argument is difficult to refute.
- With its help, you can express your thoughts clearly and without long pauses.
- The ability to speak well creates the impression of authenticity of thinking. Most people have a stereotype that those who think correctly speak well.
The development of eloquence depends on the mood and state of mind, which affects the quality of speech. The ability to overcome your fear and nervousness is reflected in the ability to speak. High-quality preparation for a performance gives additional confidence. Before a speech, experienced speakers plan and rehearse not only their presentation, but also their facial expressions, gestures, and even their posture.
Rhetoric as a science is necessary in educational sphere, where academic eloquence is used. Political eloquence is considered a type of oratory, which is distinguished by accessibility and simplicity of expression, persuasive power and the ability to infect many people with an idea. Communication skills are essential in business. An important part business relations are negotiations, presentations and conclusion of contracts.
Basic rules for creating a beautiful speech
The science of eloquence involves training vocal cords to have a pleasant timbre. You also need to fill out your lexicon and do not use tautologies.
What exercises will help you become more eloquent?
Rarely are people immediately born with the ability to come up with original speech patterns; most people have to learn this skill for a long time. It is to train this skill that the following exercises are presented:
- The text is taken from any source and crossed out in it with a pencil different words. Then the passage is read aloud, and as you go you need to replace the crossed out words with synonyms.
- Any topic is chosen, and for 4-5 minutes you need to speak only on this topic. Moreover, the story must be told without hesitation and smoothly.
- A creativity exercise will help develop eloquence. It is necessary to speculate on the fantastic and most unusual topics. For example: if electricity had not been invented, if fairy tales had come to life, or if modern world Dinosaurs lived. When answering, you need to fully disclose the topic with all the smallest details.
- We need to take words from explanatory dictionary, starting with simple ones, and independently defining them in your own words.
- An important exercise is to look for adjectives. You need to take any word and select five adjectives that fit its meaning, and then five that do not.
All these exercises will help you understand how to develop eloquence. Experts advise reading the meaning of a new word every day, selecting many synonyms for random words, and recording your speech on a voice recorder.
What books are worth reading?
When answering the question of how to learn eloquence, it is useful to study special literature. To do this, it is not necessary to study the dictionary; there are various educational and interesting manuals.
IN self-study The following educational books will be useful:
- Irina Golub’s book “The Art of Rhetoric. A manual on eloquence."
- Practical advice and recommendations are presented in the work of Radislav Gandapas “The Kama Sutra for the Orator”.
- « Oratory for beginners” O. Bolsunova is popular due to her thorough analysis of the mistakes that speakers make.
- Black Rhetoric by Carsten Bredemeier includes exercises and techniques to help you speak persuasively and negotiate with the right arguments.
Regular reading of fiction also enriches your vocabulary. Classical fiction allows you to study the stylistic presentation of thoughts and, to some extent, adopt the beauty of the presentation of the syllable.

Oratory is one of the most valuable skills that will help you convey your point of view to your interlocutor concisely, beautifully and without any problems. There are people who are natural speakers; just give them a topic and you can listen for hours. But what should those who want to master these skills do, but nature has not given them innate abilities?
Oratory, like any other skill, can be developed, trained, and improved. In this article we will give 6 useful tips, thanks to which you can develop incredible abilities, and in less than a month speak freely in public, concentrating the attention of listeners on your speech.
1. What causes the greatest difficulties for beginning speakers? As a rule, this is an insufficient vocabulary and limited vocabulary. The solution is simple, you need to talk, talk and talk again. You can do this at home. Take any item you see - a hairdryer, a vase, a frying pan, in general, it doesn’t matter what it is. And then, for 5 minutes, try to talk about it, characterize all the features of this item, explain how wonderful and necessary it is. It will be difficult at first, but over time you will easily cope with this task. When you see that five minutes is not enough, then increase the time, say 10, 20, 30 minutes. I knew people who, without any problems, could talk for hours on a given topic, and never repeat themselves in phrases or thoughts.
3. Rate of speech is another feature worth mastering. Watch how you speak. The listener may not be able to understand speech that is too fast, while speech that is slow will lead to boredom. Try to pause, highlight the right places intonations, raising and lowering your voice, thereby attracting the attention of the audience.
4. Talking about subjects at home is good, but in order to hone the skill of oratory, you need to communicate more with real people. The easiest way to hone public speaking is for students. You have access to speeches in front of your group, and during the speech you can track the reaction, behavior of the audience, their mood and desire to listen.
5. Your speech should not be dry. Try to use sayings and quotes from time to time famous people, as well as humor. By the way, humor plays a very important role. The ability to make a timely and apt joke is the quality of a good speaker who can hold his audience without any problems and, at the right moment, relieve accumulated tension.
Over time, when you expand your vocabulary and begin to apply all the acquired knowledge in practice, you will notice how your speech has changed, how your interlocutor listens carefully to every word spoken, how the audience closely follows your statements and phrases.
