Five Things That Make a ‘Not Good’ Speaker

In order to move in the society, as it’s necessary for human life, speaking plays a vital role. Speaking being an essential tool of personal development and social interaction needs too be based on some grounds that attract the listeners’ attention so that message can be conveyed in better way. Attention can also be attracted by speaking “not good”, but that’s another debate how it effects one’s reputation and position etc.

Everyone talks about ‘good public speakers’, and I goggled for hours to identify some ‘not good speakers’, but unluckily I couldn’t find one. Does this mean that no ‘not good’ speaker exists there? Certainly not! There are people who are not that good in speaking or verbally expressing their selves. I may be wrong at discussing this aspect, but since it’s less discussed ever so I’d try to explore a bit more.

Not getting in unnecessary details, as I couldn’t find as well, I’ll sum up the things that make one a ‘not good’ speaker. Here’s the list:

  • Speaking purposelessly.
  • Speaking to an unprojected audience
  • Long speech
  • Low Vocabulary/Verbose Speech and fluency
  • Lack of confidence

These are not the ‘only’ factors responsible for an imperfect speech, but a list is there, which includes socio economic statuses, situations, positions, practice etc, but some basic identifiers of malfunctioning of a speech. And of course covering these can turn a ‘not so good’ speaker to a ‘good’ speaker.
