Showcasing your personality in your speech is extremely important. It helps the audience see more of you as a person aside from your speech, and makes the experience more enjoyable for you as a public speaker.
So how do you do it?
Letting your personality shine through a speech can be very difficult. Many of us believe we "have" to do speeches, not because we'd "like" to. The main way to make a speech more fun for yourself, is showing your personality. A great public speaker can make their speech relate to themselves no matter what topic they're given. Even if your given a dreary topic, you have to learn to make your audience laugh and smile. Humour is an essential tool is every speech. Try to tell a funny joke here and there, as this is an excellent attention-getter. It also lightens the mood for your speech. If you look out during your speech, and your audience is interested and enjoying themselves, you've accomplished the main goal in speeches: being yourself!
I like how you said that people should show their personality in presentations. I always thought that you have to speak in a monotonous tone especially in business settings.Thanks, I really learned a lot
