Public speaking is an art that goes beyond mere information transmission. For Jaume, a renowned actor and expert in public speaking and language, the crucial factor determining the success of any speech is the emotional connection with the audience. In this video, Jaume shares valuable tips for achieving that connection from the very first minute.


1. Smile and Listen

Jaume emphasizes that emotional connection begins with a smile and a willingness to listen. A constant smile not only captures the audience's attention but also creates a conducive environment for interaction. Actively listening, understanding the concerns, and questions of the audience lay the groundwork for genuine connection.


2. Interpellate and Interact

The speaker should not be a distant figure but someone who interacts directly with the audience. Ulled suggests starting the presentation with questions, generating expectations, and capturing attention from the beginning. The key is to interpellate, break down the barrier between the speaker and the audience, and create a fluid dialogue.


3. Create the Need

"The most important thing about communication is creating the need for what I am going to say," Jaume emphasizes. Establishing the relevance of the information is crucial to maintaining the audience's attention. Using questions that pique interest and highlight the importance of the topic ensures active engagement.


4. Call People by Their Names

Personalizing interaction is key. If the group is small, remembering people's names creates a closer bond. This simple action shows interest and connects on a more personal level.


5. Use Humor and Show Vulnerability

Humor is a powerful tool to connect with the audience. Telling amusing anecdotes and, above all, laughing at one's own mistakes humanizes the speaker. Showing vulnerability creates empathy, demonstrating that behind the speech is a real person, not just a conveyor of information.


Jaume emphasizes that true emotional connection is achieved when the speaker expresses themselves authentically. Showing who you are, with your emotions and experiences, establishes a genuine bridge with the audience. He says public speaking is a human act rather than a mere transmission of words, and that authenticity is what truly connects with people.


In order to keep your audience engaged and paying attention to what you are saying, there must be an emotional connection. If it is not present, it will be very difficult for you to effectively communicate your message.
