In this issue’s Knowledge Zone Anthony Naylor, actor and director of in-Dialogue, lets buyers in on public speaking techniques used by comedians and actors.
His tips include combining structure with spontaneity, having a clear beginning, middle and end and being genuinely interested in your own material in order to bring it to life.
Do you have any great tips for presenting/public speaking?
Any dos or don’ts to share from your own experiences?
