Confidence Level

Confidence is a feeling, an expression that exhibits the superior power or performance of the person possessing that Confidence Level.

There are instances when this Confidence simply oozes out of the speaker and spell bounds the audience into deep silence.

Let's consider a few traits that any confident orator possesses:
1. A clear throat
A strong voice with a clear throat is a very effective tool to catch the listener's attention. How do you feel when the host of the Conference or the Chairman of the Meeting has a sore throat or keeps on saying 'aaaa', 'uh', 'ahem' during his speech? Step into the listener's shoes and deliver your speech with a clear throat.

2. A smiling face
Even if you are talking on the phone, the person at the other end, can make out the expression on your face. Try this out with a friend and you'll understand the importance of smiling while speaking.

3. Glitter in the eyes
This shows the speaker's interest and pride in what s/he speaks. If you speak with a sparkle in the eye, people will enjoy your speech as much as you'll be enjoying.

4. Pauses at the right places
A good speaker knows where to give a brief pause and where to give an elongated silence. This brings out the level of practice that went into preparing for the Speech.
