Bhopal, Mar 29: College is the place where students get air of freeness and suitable environment to develop their thoughts and personality. Besides curricular activities, the campus offers many options to excel. When it comes to address the public be it for 10 minutes speech or half an hour presentation or addressing the students for one hour, these all require a whiff of confidence. We tried to know from the students what was needed to perform well while facing such situation.

Shruti says homework should be done to ensure better content. It would help the speaker to speak for a while with some purpose and get the attention of audience. And if speaker could feel the mood of the audience and mould the style of speaking then he could hold their nerves as well.

A regular participant of debate Anil Bharti says voice modulation is best way to learn the art of impressing the audience. If this thing is on the place then controlling volume, changes in pitch and tone become very easy. Vidhika says try to speak loudly in front of audience but ensure its clarity level. If you speak loudly and in between deliberately speak in mild tone then audience getting audiences' attraction is bound to come.

Citing an example of personal experience, Rajkumar Rathore says he was to give presentation on 'atrocities on women' and he started with some quotation then asked a question to the audience 'do you know how many women got burnt in India for dowry' in low tone. He paused for a while and answered the question loudly. That voice modulation attracted everyone.

Varlakshmi reminds you not to make voice modulation look like artificial. Whatever you say that should come with proper feelings and to achieve that voice modulation and appropriating changes in the mood. Being a good speaker you need to have good balance among words, expression and tone. Shankar Kumar says if the audience is not in front of you then you have to be very careful about tone. Only then you could explain it to the people.

And finally keep in mind that face expressions and voice modulation both are equally important to become good speaker. If can do it then raise your confidence level and become best speaker of college.
