Lessons : 1. Rehearse as you are presenting 2. No filler words 3. Speaking with confidence with stronger level of volume 4. Speaking at a pace not too fast (Rehearsal) 5. Making eye contact with audience 6. Keep the slides extremely simple
I am a director of sales and I tell my team and extended pitch team to rehearse, rehearse and rehearse more. I agree with everything you said. Public speaking is definitely a learned art.
I have a problem of speaking fast , volume slow , face expression simple not changes according to my words , very low eye contact , my too much hand movements while i shoot video ; thanks for helping me Love from India 🇮🇳❤
Great stuff. 👏🏻👏🏻 There are another two common mistakes I’ve noticed when we speak: 1. Repetition - some talk about the same thing over and over again 2. Poor time management: most of the time exceeding the allotted time
Hi, I kept watching the video coz I was confused and did not find the 6th Mistake! So, 1. Neglect Rehearsing 2. Filler/ Non words 3. Speaking Too Softly 4. Speaking too Fast 5. Forgetting to make eye contact 6. _____ 7. Overloading slides with information
Thank you so much. Ever since I found you a few days ago , I can’t seem to get enough of your content. I am a senior who teaches dance at our local senior center. I have learned so much from this video that I can apply towards my teaching. I will definitely avail myself of your free video. Thank you again!
Again I agree to almost everything presented here. Later on you say people should know what they want to say inside out and that's what I agree on. The focus on brutal rehearsal is good for someone (like you) who has to deliver spot on in a tight timeframe. If you know WHAT to say you can adjust HOW you say it by looking at an feeling the audience. It lets you speak freely and be really in that moment. That's the moment when you transit from someone who imitates someone competent to someone who actually is. So MY version of your otherwise amazing advice would be to spend that time thinking about the key points that have to come across rather than repeating the show endlessly. But as said before, that depends on the kind of delivery you have to perform. Thank you again for your video :)
Thank you so much for this, very helpful as usual. I never rehearse, i just wing it. I now see my flaw. Thank you. Ill try regearsing 100 times, even though i get bored easily after 5 tries. but i see the importance of Rehearsing
Hi, it's great knowing people like even if it's somehow late . You gave me some of the best advice ever on my life on communication skill. I thank you for that and i am applying these in my life and i am also seeing results already.❤️
Vingh....you nailed it about rehearsal and it was a cinch for me at a recent presentation I delivered. Got an applause because I was smooth and it was not something I was use to. So guys rehearsal does it.
This is excellent. My voice speed is what I need to work on. I get so excited when I talk to people or present about home loans, that I tend to speed up.
In my deep psychological experience, I speak fast when there is a theme I am ashamed of speaking. Whenever I think or feel as if people were going to shun me for be mentioning those themes. But I have made the experiment to start to speak SLOWLY and clearly and with a Strong volume voice about those same themes (almost like repeating a sentence: going back to the beginning, and repeating it safely: with a strong volume and a SLOW, articulate, and confident pace), And not only the people are not taken aback by me tackling those subjects anyhow But my own anxiety is cleared! To speak slowly and loudly about them clears all my anxiety!!!!! And helps define to a crisp - clarity everything I had to think of them. Vihn ❤ often talks about how we should speak, to communicate things we already have in mind, But a much deeper, vaster subject is: how does the way we speak shapes what we think: what we get to feel and think: what we are. What we get to see take shape in our heads and hearts and minds.
Wow! This is really helpful and I will practice! I have a new roll as an emcee...opening in-person summits and education, introducing speakers, giving directions to attendees and closing things out. I have no training in public speaking, but I feel I'm pretty good at being on stage, projecting my voice, not using "um" and going slow. What I need help with is how to open / start. I currently do a quick "thank you for being here" and then jump in. But I feel like it doesn't make people settle in and get comfortable. And suggestions? Like opening by making people laugh or building some kind of report.
As always, fantastic video!!!!! ❤ And I would also add: ~ fidgeting (touching hair, necklace, leg shaking, rocking back and forth, playing with a pen/bottle, etc). ~ gesticulating too much or too little (too much is distracting. Too little doesn’t match the narrative or it’s very bland).
My common mistake is being too fast when i speak. I have loud voice when i speak, because i like my message to be understood. Also one thing I've learnt is to rehearse as many times. There are times i write a presentation and rehearse just twice and it gives me that anxiety, kimd of trembling voice when I'm presenting and i don't really feel good about that. So from today i will rehearse 120times per 1min presentation. A million thanks 😊
These are relatable mistakes 😄 I have also noticed some people get stuck with only one type of expression, either a big smile from the beginning till the end or a serious face from the beginning till the end
Hey! I am able to speak a lot w.o rehearsing bc I am a teacher, and I have been researching my subjects for years now. And I speak with a lot of enthusiasm and eye contact. However, for my next round of classes in the 2024 i will try to rehearse, so I can feel more confident and less chaotic You are a Love! ❤
I was going to ask "What happened to number 6?" I also think that reahearsing in the later stages with a small audience of people you trust can really help, just having people to make eye contact with and who will support you but also give you honest feedback, is very important.
Great tips Vinh!! I have a peculiar behaviour just before any big presentation or important meeting. My body revolts - bowel movement, chills 😢. However it took me some time to understand, accept it and gave my body a few min of restroom visit to freshen up. Now I am present in the presentation with heart, mind and body. 😅
that moment when Vinh realized his screen behind messed up so he has to stop recording and fix it. Anyway, I love your content alot. It helps me to be able to think and reflects not in speaking or present ..but in many ways. Thank you.
Very helpful information, thanks. Any book/videos you recommend to improve my skill of speaking. I usually talk in Front of people and I want to do It better. Thanks
my dad was a great public speaker he will often read a presentation, full voice and all (sometimes 45 min or more) over, and over, so much so that more often than not I went to check if he was ok, because by the end his voice reverberated from the back of the first floor to the front of my house on the second floor as he gained confidence with each rehearsal, he was an amateur actor and teacher so maybe that's where he got his methods, never got to ask him, but his deep voice would have been nothing w/o the rehearsal and the confidence and volume that knowing your shit does for you
I have a problem with staying calm in debates. I feel , especially when the other is attacking me or my points to prove me wrong, I loose attention and focus on my points, stance and ground and this will increase tension that I am wrong. How do I counter in these situations?? And I love your content… thank you so much ❤
Major thing which you make audience listen to you is mostly the way you present it and your a master in it. From last 2 to 3 days I'm watching your videos and you have something special or you built it yourself the special thing but your real a wonderful stage hypnotizer....
veteran accompanist ( piano - bass ) for 50 years. stage fright only when i’m alone on stage . Bad habit , on musician breaks i avoid audience. necessity being mother of motivation- i need to reinvent myself. suggestions ??
i wonder how many times did you rehearse before shooting this video? what do you think about using a prompter for making videos? thanks for the great content by the way. i learn a lot.
Great insights thinking of doing the course - is it suitable for children too my son is 12 yrs old , i dont want to overwhelm him , but would be nice if u have something aimed for children too. 👍
Do people really think, they don’t want to connect with me, or they aren’t present. I feel like no one thinks about that, I know I don’t. I could envision people thinking “wow he isn’t very good at presenting” because of always looking at their notes. 11:54
Vinh - If your 1-hr talk demands 120 rehearsals, then how can I efficiently rehearse if I have to give a new topic every Sunday for 30 min? I do agree that repeated rehearsals will remove many problems found in a bad speech - lack of eye contact, overly dependence on notes, always thinking "what's my next point again?", weak body movement, etc... Hope you can provide insight to someone like me who needs to live within the restraint of that weekly teaching deadline...Thanks Vinh. BTW, I'm a student on your Stage Academy.
Focus on the idea that is being expressed rather than getting caught up in the details. That should eat and giving you a more balanced approach to the best of your ability as you develop. If you're giving presentations every Sunday I need to rehearse consistently you'll still be developing for the long term. Willfully that was helpful. Keep growing!
by that, I think he means practice as much as you can. My guess is that you're a pastor ;) My pastor's volume is just fine, good eye contact. His slides, however, are too busy. He also depends too much on his slides. Basically he can't preach without the slides. I assume he doesn't rehearse enough. People want to hear him preach, not read the slides. Unfortunately most pastors read from their notes instead of preaching.
Thank you so much for the amazing value of your content..your service is beyond measure very precious!! How can i contact your services? With gratitude ,Irene Daniel
Epic. Very good video. I shall try to take this on board. Have you found recording yourself beneficial to improving? P.s. By coincidence, I just left you a Gandalf quote on another videos 😆
You mention simple slides. Many of my presentations are on very technical matters, so the content is important to get the message across. Does the same rule apply for all presentations?
My mistake is i stick to my script too closely which deprives me from being natural. What is your thought about having a script? How strict should we follow it in the actual presentation? I can't rehearse without a script.
Man oh man! I usually give talks on self improvement. The way I present the info has been said to be rather “doom and gloom”, wife’s words, when delivering. I feel the tone allows the audience to reflect but it is rather dead. Not sure if I need to change that approach as it is effective with those listening in. Is it my wife being a stickler or is it an issue I need to address?
Lessons :
1. Rehearse as you are presenting
2. No filler words
3. Speaking with confidence with stronger level of volume
4. Speaking at a pace not too fast (Rehearsal)
5. Making eye contact with audience
6. Keep the slides extremely simple
Shouldn't it be seven?
@@FairyOfFlames
He only gave 6, and not 7 tips.
Check out the video and you'll see yourself.
The true MVP
😂
I have a lot of issue with eye contact and i’ve made a conscious effort to look at others when speaking. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for making this video 😊

As someone myself who had low self esteem, I really can relate to all of these mistakes. Thank you for sharing.
Hi, I kept watching the video coz I was confused and did not find the 6th Mistake! So,
1. Neglect Rehearsing
2. Filler/ Non words
3. Speaking Too Softly
4. Speaking too Fast
5. Forgetting to make eye contact
6. _____
7. Overloading slides with information
Maybe it was, 6: Checking you have all your information correct.

Your first one about not rehearsing enough is spot on! That has the biggest impact on everything else. Great video!
Thanks
Man you have no idea how your advice made a big ..really big difference for me...thanx a lot

7:16 I had to remember that this is in the context of speaking on stage, because that's definitely the energy I prefer one-on-one.
Thank you so much for this, very helpful as usual. I never rehearse, i just wing it. I now see my flaw. Thank you. Ill try regearsing 100 times, even though i get bored easily after 5 tries. but i see the importance of Rehearsing
I love how you share with us your journey!!!

This video came on time!!!! So needed! I am guilty of 1-7 - (2023 goal) epic growth in communication skills!
How did it go 🙂 ?
This is excellent. My voice speed is what I need to work on. I get so excited when I talk to people or present about home loans, that I tend to speed up.
One of the best public speaking training!
In my deep psychological experience, I speak fast when there is a theme I am ashamed of speaking.
Whenever I think or feel as if people were going to shun me for be mentioning those themes.
But I have made the experiment to start to speak SLOWLY and clearly and with a Strong volume voice about those same themes (almost like repeating a sentence: going back to the beginning, and repeating it safely: with a strong volume and a SLOW, articulate, and confident pace),
And not only the people are not taken aback by me tackling those subjects anyhow
But my own anxiety is cleared!
To speak slowly and loudly about them clears all my anxiety!!!!! And helps define to a crisp - clarity everything I had to think of them.
Vihn ❤ often talks about how we should speak, to communicate things we already have in mind,
But a much deeper, vaster subject is: how does the way we speak shapes what we think: what we get to feel and think: what we are. What we get to see take shape in our heads and hearts and minds.
Vinh, resembles John Denver.
John Denver's little brother.
I am so grateful came across his video. I appreciate his advice. Good job!
Wow! This is really helpful and I will practice! I have a new roll as an emcee...opening in-person summits and education, introducing speakers, giving directions to attendees and closing things out.

Like opening by making people laugh or building some kind of report.
My thoughts - start off by stating your name, what your role is, and why you are here.
As always, fantastic video!!!!! ❤
And I would also add:
~ fidgeting (touching hair, necklace, leg shaking, rocking back and forth, playing with a pen/bottle, etc).
~ gesticulating too much or too little (too much is distracting. Too little doesn’t match the narrative or it’s very bland).
Awesome content and super funny. Always a pleasure to listen, watch and LEARN 😁. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤.
my mistake was i did not rehearse and used little eye contact, along with mostly looking at my tablet during my presentation - thank you for sharing
I love these videos, and also the examples you show from previous experiences or your students!
My common mistake is being too fast when i speak. I have loud voice when i speak, because i like my message to be understood. Also one thing I've learnt is to rehearse as many times. There are times i write a presentation and rehearse just twice and it gives me that anxiety, kimd of trembling voice when I'm presenting and i don't really feel good about that.

You are a Love! ❤
if you can teach something, you already know it, if you know it is because you teached more than once (both my parents are teachers)
Am truly happy and have truly learnt many things from your videos
Thank you so much

I find it hard to imagine a woman speaking so overly exaggerated like him. 🤔
I watch this precious content until the last second.
Hahaha, i'm a huge fan of Lord of the Rings! That has always been my problem lack of rehearsal! You really drive this home. Thank you!
Great tip on rehearsing, I don't do it and it shows... curious how much better I can be if I do!! Will definitely try this! 🙏🏼
You’re a great communicator! Heading straight to your masterclass ;) thank you for the valuable content you put out!
See you inside the Online course!!
thank you for this. it's very insightful

Vihn was rapping during that presentation
Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you Vinh!
that moment when Vinh realized his screen behind messed up so he has to stop recording and fix it. Anyway, I love your content alot. It helps me to be able to think and reflects not in speaking or present ..but in many ways. Thank you.
I love you channel and the videos you make. Thank you and keep it up
I learned my very first card florish from you back in 2013 glad to see ur still going strong 💪
this channel going to be 📈📈📈📈📈💥
Hello Dear Vinh, its realy great...thanks for the valuable input........
Subscribed! Great content. Thank you.
I am learning a lot from you. your the best
Thank you, Vinh 🧡
Big GIANT Thank You for Your Personality!!! 😁 Top Class
I like this guy, I m bad with Grammar and I am bad with English, but I want to speak like him.🤔🧐🤨😤
Very helpful information, thanks. Any book/videos you recommend to improve my skill of speaking. I usually talk in Front of people and I want to do It better. Thanks

I’ve got a few human Interactions today. I’ll try a stronger voice. I tend to mute myself 🤣 thanks for the pep talk!😄
Mistake number 8 - reading word for word off a slide. The slide is there to reference the speech not to read off it.
I have a problem with staying calm in debates. I feel , especially when the other is attacking me or my points to prove me wrong, I loose attention and focus on my points, stance and ground and this will increase tension that I am wrong. How do I counter in these situations??
And I love your content… thank you so much ❤
Excellent!!
Great tips
Tremendous content and presentation. 👍👍

Please make a part 2
i wonder how many times did you rehearse before shooting this video? what do you think about using a prompter for making videos?
thanks for the great content by the way. i learn a lot.
I would just like to say love you 😊
rehearsal 10 times vimp
fillers n nonwords
speaking too softly
speaking too fast
overload slides with info
forgot to make eye contact
I have a pretty smooth tone and people tell me I have a nice voice but when I try to talk louder people think I’m mad.
I love your voice vinh ♥️ thank you for your amaziiinggg content 😌✨
In the search of gold (to improve my voice) i found dimond ( to improve communication ''skill'') & presentation
Great insights thinking of doing the course - is it suitable for children too my son is 12 yrs old , i dont want to overwhelm him , but would be nice if u have something aimed for children too. 👍
Asking people if they understand what your saying is also a common one
You are a blessing
Really fine, Vinh! However you only spoke about 6 common mistakes. What's #7? Thank you!
Do people really think, they don’t want to connect with me, or they aren’t present. I feel like no one thinks about that, I know I don’t. I could envision people thinking “wow he isn’t very good at presenting” because of always looking at their notes. 11:54

Cool!
Great video !!
Amazing video
Thank you so much for the amazing value of your content..your service is beyond measure very precious!!
How can i contact your services? With gratitude ,Irene Daniel
Vinh have you seen LOTR Rings of Power series?
Epic. Very good video. I shall try to take this on board. Have you found recording yourself beneficial to improving?
P.s. By coincidence, I just left you a Gandalf quote on another videos 😆
Can you do a video on virtual 1-1 meetings from a mangers POV?
Yea,every time I want to give a speech I never rehearse...trust me it is real it is always disastrous😢
You mention simple slides. Many of my presentations are on very technical matters, so the content is important to get the message across. Does the same rule apply for all presentations?
I'm curious, is this how you have always been when speaking or did you adopt new and better ways of speaking
The Volume one is the one I have problems with mostly, I'll practice increasing my volume from now on
My mistake is i stick to my script too closely which deprives me from being natural. What is your thought about having a script? How strict should we follow it in the actual presentation? I can't rehearse without a script.
Speaking too fast is my worst. I've got to rehearse more 😢
I just found you I believe you're great
Do you rehearse your videos as well then? 🤔 Or is it automatic now?
I've done them all.... I"m a work in progress
Man oh man! I usually give talks on self improvement. The way I present the info has been said to be rather “doom and gloom”, wife’s words, when delivering. I feel the tone allows the audience to reflect but it is rather dead.
Not sure if I need to change that approach as it is effective with those listening in. Is it my wife being a stickler or is it an issue I need to address?
My problem I forget the vocabulary when I want start then when I am alone I'll remember them by heard. can someone let me know what's wrong with that?
❤❤❤
Is it true that the sentence present in the slides shouldn’t be exactly said as it is while presenting ??
great content but where is the 7th one?
How to read text to an audience which is technical and has no emotion involved?
Vinh, you should really react/ review to other great speakers; it can help us learn.
