I am an undergraduate student of a federal university,like someone said "2019 is about opportunities and collaborations"...Then I discovered I might be opportuned to be in a position this year 2019 to give speech (public speaking),making public speaking one of my 2019 goals and
the ability to communicate a message, sell an idea, or paint a vision is a critical skill for anyone who wants to have an impact on the others. 

Having not done or knowing anything about public speaking because I don't participate in debate neither have I experienced one which is why I need all nairalander's help in highlighting the steps I need to take to become skilled in public speaking,and I know the platform is the best stepping stone to achieve it.

TedX is spreading across Nigeria, attend their events in your city. There is Toastmasters in Lagos Nigeria. They have events that help boost your public speaking skills. Volunteer to speak at local events in your industry. Public speaking requires more and more practice.

Well, public speaking is excentially an inate ability.
I knew I always had the ability,but all I needed was to work on it

Some of my strategies to developing myself were
1)building confidence:no matter how good you are with words,if you can't face crowds,you talent is a waste,you must gain self confidence through prayer and practice I'll talk more on that.

2)build your vocabulary: this is very important,because if you must speak publicly you need to have a lot of words at your disposal,you can do this by reading across many range of knowledge.so I advise you to Read, read and read some more.

3)practice :constantly talk to yourself on different topics reapetedly,do this often and with time you would have mastered the at.

4)build a charisma:don't speak as if you are reciting a poem,put in an interesting and bold attitude when speaking,this will give you an exceptional impression on your audience.

I have a great deal of experience with public speaking,so I know what I am talking about.
Hope this is helpful.

Ur success is in u discovering urself. If u attend church, pls join ur Sunday school department. There u will discover urself. U will learn 2 fail, learn 2 learn, learn 2 prepare & learn 2 succeed in d art of public speaking

Lol, I watched somewhere that you can imagine the crowd in their undies and that will boost one confidence in public. grin

OP, The main key in public speaking is confidence, work on that first and the rest is easy.
Re: 2019 Goal: How Do I Become Skilled In Public Speaking? by xpress101(m): 8:31pm On Jan 04, 2019
Start by speaking to yourself in front of a mirror to watch how to comport yourself.
Then start by speaking Infront of 3 people, probably friend and let them take notes and score you.
Then increase the number.
Look for events where you can speak

This is probably the best decision you will ever make if you really want to improve your speaking and leadership skills.
Testimonies abound.

You can read a million books about it, withoutpractice, the best you'll become is a guru on theories of public
Speaking.

TM international offers you the platform you need to speak, write and listen. Registration is very affordable and you can even be attending free of charge for as long as you want.

A couple of centres are scattered throughout Lagos, google ikeja toastmasters club. Join them 2nd and 3rd Saturdays at Lasuth. You life will never remain5the same.

Learn more about them on their website. Toastmasters international

Adding to what others have enumerated, write a lot. When you write you'd be able to crystallise your thoughts, making it easy for you to present them succinctly and in the most concise form.
Also, join the Literary and Debating Society of your school. I'm sure you'd have one, just ask around. Be heavily involved in the various activities and debating competitions that would present themselves.
Finally, practice, practice and practice! Speak, speak and speak more with any little opportunity you can grab.
I'm also working seriously on public speaking this year.

All the best!

Funny you! Why do you need LWRS (Listening, Writing, Reading n Speaking) in the first place? Yes, not all books direct you to success but what you see or read on paper such as listed by people here will inspire your self discovery. You will still need to listen from others too. You don't need to read all books to be successful; you only need their opinions and that will help you a lot my friend. But, If you have the capability to read all of these books, do so friend. It will add to your knowledge.

what gives most people confidence in public speaking is the quantum of knowledge thy possess on the topic of discussion. I personally have stage fright, but that only comes to play when I don't have adequate information on the given topic. You can boost your confidence by reading and Learning well. Be a better listener.

You said it all

I will be candid with you no matter the number of literature you read on public speaking it will still not take the fear of public speaking away when you mouth the podium you still fell your nerve. Nevertheless what i can prescribe for you is training practice brings perfection thet say at any slight oppurtunity you see try and address people maybe 10 maybe 20 from there you get used to public speaking. smiley
