In this article, who we will be discussing how the way you look can dramatically affect the way your speech is received, and can impact your fear of public speaking.
First of all, how should you dress when you're giving a presentation? Of course, if you ask 10 different public speakers, you'll probably get 10 different answers. Some speakers feel that you should dress professionally for every presentation - that is, a suit and tie for men, and a business suit or dress for women. Other speakers feel that dressing professionally creates distance between the speaker in the audience, and so they prefer to dress more casually - male speakers will sometimes where a dress shirt and khakis, while female speakers will wear a nice blouse and dress slacks.
The truth matter is, both are right. What is important here is to know what kind of audience you are speaking to, and dress appropriately. Remember in section 3, when we talked about knowing your audience and your environment? If you have already completed this step before taking the stage to give a presentation, then you should already know a little bit about your audience. And what you know will impact how you should dress for that particular audience.
For example, if you are speaking to a group of college students at a university, it is probably okay to dress casually. Again, when I say "dressing casually", what I mean is "business casual". You have to remember that if you are giving a speech, you are there to have fun and enlighten your audience, but you are also there to conduct business - the business of giving your presentation.
I stress this point because there are some public speakers that feel that in these situations, they are permitted to wear anything that they please, such as Tshirts and blue jeans. Well, in some cases, it's probably true that you will be permitted to wear anything you please, but if you show up in a T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans, don't count on being called back to give another presentation.
