If you are a beginner, then you receive more challenges throughout your public speaking journey.
Public speaking is all about how you deliver your message/story. The understanding of the audience decides if you are a good public speaker. It is not just about you going on speaking and speaking. Your way of delivering the message, adding external support like visual and audio matters too. With this, your work gets much easier.
Did you know that the environment that you are giving your public speech, tells the listeners how comfortable and confident you are? Communication takes place with your body image and expressions too. It lets your audience decide whether you are open to questions and doubts or not.
Before you go on stage to give your speech, you come across this nervousness of doubting yourself. You get that extra worry or even the language barrier, you ask yourself questions like, “What if I am too boring?”, “What if I fumble?”, etc.
Before giving your final shot, you can practice your speech an end number of times in front of your mirror without judging yourself. By doing this, you will understand your weakness and your strong points. Try doing this every day and you will have a strong speech by the end of time.

Try asking them questions and try making it interactive, or else there are chances that they might get bored.
