“What makes the public speaker effective?”
There’s many factors that makes up effective public speakers, such as making eye contacts with listeners, memorizing key points, or walking around the stage from side to side. Credibility and conciseness takes a big part too, but before everything, speaker has to get full attention from listeners; whether the information is reliable or not. Public speaker usually gives speeches in a big auditorium. In order to get everyones attention, I think walking around or using hand motions are very important. Personally, when I focus on one point of the stage, where the speaker is standing, I start to lose concentration. Thus, making a big motion and staying active makes the public speaker effective.
