How do I improve my public speaking skills?

To improve your public speaking skills, practice is key. Start by making an outline of your speech. Organizing your thoughts ahead of time can make it much easier to actually deliver the speech. Then find opportunities to practice in front of a group, like volunteer to give a toast at a friend's party or a speech during a class discussion. Once you feel comfortable with the content, practice other aspects of delivery such as your choice of words, facial expressions, body language, and intonation. Finally, ask for feedback from people who have heard your speech. This can give you valuable tips to improve.
