Hollywood Actors and You have a lot in common. Speaking Events, Business Presentations, and Meetings.They deliver a ‘Performance’ and as a matter of fact, so do You. Now, this idea might surprise many new and even some seasoned Speakers. But the key point to keep in mind is this: Speaking is a learnable skill. Like any Learnable Skill, people can learn to “Perform it” very well. Speaking Events of many sizes, Causes & Purposes are available to the Speaker, who has a Message to share… and that could be useful.
Hollywood hires an Actor to Act & Speak like… someone else. But learning Acting skills can take years of study, constant practice, to look good or bad. Well, although Hollywood Actors and You share some skills, Speaking & Presenting to an audience can also be learned more quickly. Yes, it too requires learning new skills, practice, and taking chances. But it can be accomplished in a much shorter time than becoming “Hollywood” Screen ready. You’ll also be hired for the information you bring to the Event, not based on how you look.
And too, remember, you get to be Yourself, not an invented character in a script. Speaking is an easier challenge to manage. Most of the Clients I’ve worked with in the US & Japan do very well. They’re usually surprised at how Confident they feel as they become more skillful as a Speaker. If you want to share a Message, a Passion, or a Skill, you can as a Speaker. Now,Let’s consider some good advice from a HollyWood Star. It just might help you become a better Speaker & Presenter.
