THE USE OF HUMOUR/HUMOR IN PUBLIC SPEAKING
HOW TO BECOME A HUMOROUS/FUNNY SPEAKER
"Humour in public speaking" Public speaking has a reputation of being a pretty serious subject. It is serious because most people dread public speaking and actually have a fear of speaking in public. The use of jokes and funny sayings/quotes in public speaking is very necessary to break the ice and even melt it. In fact, it is a necessity to lighten up and warm people's hearts. If you observe some great speakers, you would notice that their speeches have an element of humour and fun in them; even if it is twisted humour. These great speakers teach, and make their audiences laugh at the same time. When used wisely, humour can be a clever way of telling the truth. We picked the following quotes because they have that quality - the quality of fun and humour, as well as some element of truth & teaching in them. Enjoy.
