The audience are on the same side of the speaker, they want you to succeed, so your job as a speaker is to make that come true. Well not quite, because the nerves are in the way.It is important to know your audience, what excites them, what are their fears, what solutions do they seek and finding solutions on how best to help them achieve that goal.
What makes a great start? The answer is to start your presentation with an interest. Ignite interest in your message with a BANG, start with the unexpected, a magnetic opening, a quote, a story , a question. Anything that has the power to hook your audience is great.
Nothing is more important, than how you feel and think about yourself. Self image is how we value and see ourselves. Having a little self-esteem can stop you from living the life you have ever wanted to live. Positive self-image is at the heart of public speaking. Developing your self-image will inevitably give you the energy and confidence needed for public speaking.

The following are way to influence an audience: Influence by exposition, influence by description, influence by narration, influence by suggestion, influence by argument and influence by persuasion.
