Now, speech is also a specification!
A new concept speech training book that lets you practice through reading!
***Revised edition published***

Speech is no longer the domain of experts only.
Presentations in reports and meetings, self-introductions at gatherings, toasts at company dinners and parties, in-depth oral interviews... No matter how hard you try to avoid them, these speech moments will inevitably come to you again and again.
It's not the first or second time that I've brushed it off as 'my usual skills', but I can't leave it as homework any longer.
Are people who aren't professional lecturers, politicians, or broadcasters naturally gifted with speaking skills? The answer is no.
They too have become masters of speaking through countless experiences and practices.
Just as we practice writing by copying, anyone can become a good speaker by practicing speaking through reading.

Woo Ji-eun, CEO of W Speech Communication, Korea's leading speech education brand, selected 21 of the most essential and highly utilized theories among the many speech principles and know-hows.
Through 21 days of training, one session per day, you can establish a solid foundation in speaking and gain confidence.
It is composed of four stages: ‘Basic-Fundamental-Development-Completion’, so it is not burdensome even for speech beginners.
Famous quotes that will strike your heart and well-structured speech examples were recorded directly by an expert's voice.
There is also practical training available to help you write and perfect your own speech.
One a day, in 21 days, you'll have everything you need, from a trustworthy, likeable voice to persuasive speaking skills.

Think of an actor or someone around you who has a good voice.
Their voices mostly have two things in common.
First, the voice tone is stable and low-mid range, and second, the voice has a rich resonance.
A voice with a low, soft resonance conveys a sense of comfortable trust to the other person.
Anyone can produce a low, steady tone with practice, and become the owner of an attractive, resonant voice.
It's like magic, your voice changes so beautifully.
The method is surprisingly simple.

Have you ever stood in front of a large audience to make an important presentation, so nervous you couldn't finish your speech and just stormed back in? We've all had that experience where you were so flustered by the rapid pace of your speech, even though you weren't even motorized.
If you find yourself speaking too quickly during a presentation, the first reason is that you are not breathing properly.
Since you speak by relying on the air held in your mouth while taking shallow breaths, your speaking speed naturally increases.
Let me say this again: when giving a public speech, deep breathing is paramount.
Take a deep breath in and out while speaking.
If I speak while feeling my breathing, the speed will naturally slow down.

There are three types of presenters in the world.
'A person who says easy things difficult, a person who says difficult things difficult, a person who says difficult things easy.' Anyone can say difficult things difficult.
A person who makes easy things difficult is a lowlife.
On the other hand, if you can say difficult things easily, you can be called a true expert.

Belly fat, thigh fat, arm fat… Everyone has excess fat on their body that they are concerned about.
If you go on a diet and get rid of some of this fat, your body will feel lighter and your body line will look prettier.
The same goes for words.
If you ramble on about this and that, the speech will become longer and heavier, and it may even go in a different direction than what you intended.
Horses need to go on a diet too.
If the main point is well conveyed even if it is brief, then there is no reason to make it long, right?
As Saint-Exupéry said, "Perfection is not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away," let's give a speech that gets straight to the point, without adding anything or taking anything away.

My first corporate lecture in 2005.
The tension of having 400 black eyes focused on me was truly immense.
The pressure while preparing the lecture was also very great.
It was thanks to 'imaginary rehearsal' that I was able to overcome my fears and doubts about whether I could really do well and successfully complete my first lecture.
I fervently imagined myself giving a successful lecture.
It wasn't just a vague idea, but a concrete and clear image was drawn.
I kept picturing the place and situation where I was giving a lecture, the image of myself sitting in my seat and then confidently walking out when my name was called, the scenes unfolding before my eyes as I stood on stage and looked at the audience, the audience nodding and responding to my words, and the image of myself striding across the stage with passionate body movements.
In my imagination, I was already a great speaker!
