Book Description
Public speaking can be terrifying. For David Nihill, the idea of standing in front of an audience was scarier than cliff jumping into a thorny pit of spiders and mother-in-laws. Without a parachute or advanced weaponry. Something had to change.
In one year, David went from being deathly afraid of public speaking to regularly performing stand-up comedy and winning storytelling competitions in front of packed houses. And he did it by learning from some of the best storytellers in the world: standup comics. In Do You Talk Funny: 7 Comedy Habits to Become a Better (and Funnier) Public Speaker, you will learn the key principles of standup comedy and how they can be applied to your speaking engagements and presentations to make you funnier, more interesting, and better looking. (Or at least two of the three.)
Whether you are preparing for a business presentation, giving a wedding toast, defending your thesis, raising money from investors, or simply want to take on something you’re afraid of, this book will take you from sweaty to stage-ready.
What You Will Learn:
1.How to craft a story that your audience will want to listen to.
2.How to find the funniest parts of your material and how to get to them faster.
3.How to deal with stage fright and flop sweat.
4.How to master the two most important parts of your performance: timing and delivery.
And much more.
