The audience responded to every piece that represented love in all its forms, from the title song to music with great pathos such as Memory from “Cats” and the poignant music from Les Miserables, to the pulsating rhythms of “Dixie” and The Sixties.

Some of the most basic requirements of the human being is to be loved, wanted, needed and appreciated; I think we would all agree with that. This is not so different for the speaker. Add to that the need to engage with your listeners, to capture their interest and compel them to listen.
Not by telling them who you are, what your qualifications and experience have been. They will most likely know this from the information on promotional material they have already read. They will also know within two minutes flat whether you live up to what they heard about you. No!
Ask a question that is relevant to their needs. Then explain, in simple terms, how you and they would go about solving the question. I stress the words ” simple terms “. I think that it is very important that you come across in a conversational manner. If it appears like a lecture, with no enthusiasm and sincerity in it, just passing the information, then your listeners will switch off from you very quickly.
Another essential element is the silence; I have heard many speakers so beautifully rehearsed in their pitch that they don’t allow for pauses, which would allow the listener to take-in the information that they have just been given. Always remember that your audience is made up of people of different ages and abilities who really want to benefit from what you say, but take in the information at different speeds.
Unless you are a born comedian, don’t try to be funny; by all means retain humour in the speech, that is the oil that always engages the audience and drives the session, provided that it happens naturally.
Lastly, tell a story; audiences love a story, as long as it is relevant; something that may have happened to you in your earlier, struggling years that inspired and motivated you to carry on. Your audience will really appreciate this as it humanises you and makes them think, “Hey, he’s been where I am now !”
I hope that this helps get you started. To develop your public speaking skills and confidence further,you may wish to consider one-to-one public speaking and voice coaching training sessions. For more information on how I can help you please see the Public Speaking and Voice Coaching page.

Let’s all congratulate our dear Claire Dickinson as being the first new mother for The Enfield Community Singers on 11th July at 5.56 am. weighing in at a strapping 7lb 2 oz in old money, which supports the old formula that singing makes children
But what an inconsiderate time of day to make an appearance; still children always were selfish. Anyway, we all wish you well, my darling, and look forward to seeing you and baby soon for its first rehearsal
Now you’ll want to join my choir. so please contact me, Simon, for all information on: simon@letthepeoplesing.co.uk or call me on 020-8360-7386
The Enfield Community Singers, with their slogan “Let The People Sing !” notched up a major success with yet another sellout last Sunday 5th July at The Dugdale Centre as part of the Summer Festival of Music. With the exciting and dynamic young choir from Freezywater Junior School and and the ultra glamorous soprano Linda Watts exuding star quality, this was more of a show than a concert
With their growing confidence of so many fine performances, the choir now conveys a tremendous enjoyment to all their audiences. With its slowly developing profile, this ever growing community project needs a bigger venue to accommodate its audience.
The Choir will be even more successful with a larger male presence, so GENTLEMEN, if you ever enjoyed a really good show, you know the difference male voices bring so, for heaven sake sign up, you’ll love being a part of something that makes a real difference to the community.
