That\u2019s when I discovered my passion. I loved helping students find their voice and figure out what they wanted to say and how they wanted to say it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arbogast came to Rochester in 2009 to begin a PhD in American history. She joined the WSAP staff and in 2013 created the <a href=\"https:\/\/writing.rochester.edu\/tutoring\/index.html#speaking\">Speaking Fellows Program<\/a>, where she remains its coordinator and teaches writing and public speaking classes. Arbogast and former fellow Maria Sepulveda \u201918, \u201923S (MBA) also run their own private consultancy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sparkspeakroc.com\/\">Spark Speak<\/a>, which offers public speaking tips, consulting, and coaching.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pullquote\"><span style=\"font-size: 400%;\">\u201c<\/span>Everyone needs to know how to communicate their ideas effectively and build meaningful connections with the people they\u2019re talking to.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>Arbogast is writing a guidebook to class presentations for undergraduates in the humanities that will be published by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mla.org\/\">Modern Language Association<\/a>, but she says people from all walks of life can benefit from polishing their speaking skills.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn nearly every job, people do things that require public speaking skills every day,\u201d she says. \u201cYou meet with clients, lead meetings, have critical conversations with supervisors and colleagues, and deliver short presentations to your team or manager. Everyone needs to know how to communicate their ideas effectively and build meaningful connections with the people they\u2019re talking to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arbogast offers this advice for anyone who wants to master the art of public speaking.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_628352\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-628352\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-628352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0096.jpg\" alt=\"Amy Arbogast teaches public speaking tips to a classroom full of University of Rochester students.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0096.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0096-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0096-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0096-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0096-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0096-1680x1120.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0096-1250x833.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0096-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0096-660x440.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-628352\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>ACTIVE VOICE:<\/strong> Amy Arbogast is an associate professor in the Writing, Speaking, and Argument Program and the coordinator of Speaking Fellows Program at Rochester.

What do you want them to know? What do they already know? What kinds of language or jargon will be familiar to them\u2014and what will make them feel left out? Choose wisely.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Be yourself.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cAudiences aren\u2019t interested in seeing you play a character or pretend to be something you\u2019re not. The most compelling speakers pull us in because we feel like we\u2019re seeing their true selves. Authenticity builds trust and a connection with your audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Find your perfect pace.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWe often talk fast because we know our material and are excited about it. But for audiences hearing that material for the first time, our fast pace makes it impossible to keep up. Practice slowing down just enough that it annoys you, and you\u2019re probably in the sweet spot.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_628662\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-628662\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-628662\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0276.jpg\" alt=\"Public speaking expert Amy Arbogast presenting in front of a chalkboard.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0276.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0276-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0276-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0276-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0276-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0276-1680x1120.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0276-1250x833.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0276-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inline-public-speaking-tips-2024-11-12_Amy_Arbogast_0276-660x440.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-628662\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>GOOD POINT:<\/strong> \u201cIn nearly every job, people do things that require public speaking skills every day,\u201d says Arbogast.
