מי הקהל הכי קשה שיש? - בית הספר לדיבור מול קהל

Two years ago I received this book as a gift from lovely course students in their last class.

And this week I read the story "If you go out, you end up in wonderful places" in the heiress's garden
(Yes, I know the book was translated into standard Hebrew, meaning for boys. But I have a daughter. And girls who go out end up in wonderful places. Just so you know).
And it was a cool experience and recommended for anyone who wants to challenge themselves in the field of speaking in front of an audience.
Why?

Because this is an audience with very high expectations in the field of drama and tension, so be much more dramatic.
Because this is an audience with a concentration capacity that is measured in seconds and therefore requires you to constantly check their attention and gather them back to you.
Because an audience that doesn't understand all the words requires you to increase the mimicry and intonation to help them understand what words like 'challenge' or 'opportunity' mean.

And maybe also because this audience includes someone particularly assertive who took care of all the little troublemakers who didn't listen well enough. You can see the capabilities in the picture. You can really see that her grandfather is an expert in managing discipline in the classroom (Professor Eliezer Yariv, you were proud).

And how is it in terms of crowd fear?

Good that you asked. If you think about it a bit, then it turns out that the most difficult audience is really not the scariest audience.

Why? Because of the special nature of crowd fear as an irrational fear of failure. which affects in two ways:

First of all for a reason related to the fact that it is not scary to fail in front of them. Even on the contrary, even very serious people enjoy doing nonsense in front of them.

But there is a second reason, which can be used to improve confidence even in front of an audience of adults:
What is stressful in the 'regular' audience is that the sense of failure is very vague. A kind of feeling that something bad is happening without being able to define exactly what this bad thing is happening.

And children are a very direct, very visible audience. 3 year olds are very expressive so you know exactly when they are fascinated (the boy in the turquoise shirt) and when they are bored (the cutie in the pink dress). And so the fog cannot form. This does not mean that they are an easy audience, on the contrary, but they are not an audience that allows uncertainty, therefore they do not generate anxiety.
Therefore, working with them points to an important way to lower public fear: by creating certainty

So that's all. How do you reduce public fear like that?

Tip number 1: Remove the uncertainty. Check with the audience if they are with you at every opportunity, and if you were in my course then you know The golden rule for questions from the audience, which teaches how to do it.

Tip number 2: Read stories in your child's (or grandchild's) kindergarten or school.
You are not only doing a good deed and giving him and yourself a life experience, but you are also experimenting with a different kind of public speaking

Tip number 3: If you have come this far, it means that you have a lot of interest in improving your security and professionalism in front of an audience.
