The human voice is an incredible power. With it, you can charge people with positive energy, inspire and motivate. It is precisely what we say and how we say that affects us first of all. What can we say about others!
In order to truly interest listeners, it is necessary to speak not only competently, but also eloquently.
What does eloquent mean?
Everybody wants to make themselves clear: you must agree, no one will deny the fact that people who speak casually do not want to make contact.
The fact is that you can influence people only with a convincing and competent speech, but how to learn this? Speaking eloquently means expressing oneself in a bright, logical and unusual way.
The word "eloquence" comes from the phrase "red speech", that is, beautiful.
Great speakers possessed incredible eloquence and it was thanks to this ability that they were able to create incredible energy in the hall. Public speech includes the use of rare, but at the same time sonorous, clear words or phrases, the ability to bind sentences together so that their main thought is on the surface. It is thanks to this approach that you can achieve clarity of your speech and, consequently, influence on others.
However, eloquent speech does not imply the use of too sophisticated words that are difficult for listeners to perceive, just the opposite: the most important thing is understandability, accessibility.
How to express thoughts beautifully?
So what does eloquent mean? To speak with unusual intonation - exclamatory or interrogative, loud or quiet, while citing various examples from one's own life and from the lives of other people.
How to learn to speak publicly?
For this purpose, many well-known and unknown speakers conduct various kinds of seminars in which everyone can learn a number of techniques for developing voice and try themselves on stage. Oratory courses are invaluable in this regard. The most famous seminars were conducted by Dale Carnegie, he shares many tips in the book "How to develop self-confidence and influence people by speaking in public."
Another way is constant practice. If a person wants to learn to speak eloquently, then he needs to steadily replenish his vocabulary, learn the correct pronunciation of words and experiment with intonation.
Conclusion
Summarizing all of the above, it can be said a little easier: to speak eloquently means not to let the listeners get bored, that is, to attract their attention in their own words, diction, literacy and intonation.
