Vaktha helps hone oratory skills

Hyderabad: The participants of 60th batch of Vaktha shed all their inhibitions and conquered  stage fright, while holding mike with poise. They felt a marked change after attending the two-day training programme organised jointly by HMTV and Kaushalya School of Life Skills on January 27 and 28.

Aspiring politicians and social workers who attended the training programme vowed to bring impact in the society with their enhanced communication skills. Some of them felt a marked change in their attitude and body language within two-days of training and asserted to achieve their goals by regular practice of tips.

Director (Training), Kapil Group and the lead faculty of the programme D Bal Reddy provided all the important tips and techniques of public speaking, while adeptly covering the dos and don’ts of oratory. He explained them as to how a good speaker controlled the mood of audience through verbal and non-verbal skills.   

S Anand Parjanya, faculty on body language, trained the participants on maintaining their posture while delivering a speech and communicating at a public place. He explained as to how the orator should communicate the subject with the coordinating actions of hands.

K Srikanth, another faculty explained important techniques of voice modulation, since a good speaker maintained a high tone while delivering the speech. He made students practice some of the important tips and showed how voice culture and modulation can make a person an effective public speaker.

While providing their feedback at the end of the training programme, S Anvesh Reddy from Hyderabad felt that the programme forced him to introspect, to find out the weaknesses in his oratory skills and helped in overcoming them. He said it was like quenching the thirst with a bowl of knowledge.

Another participant, J Trivikrama Vidya Sagar, who felt enlightened, assured to refer the training programme to his friends. B Mallikarjun from Mahbubnagar, who had deep-rooted stage fear and avoided holding a mike earlier, asserted that he was now ‘ready to speak’ to huge audience.  G Nirmala, leader of an employee’s union described the programme as inspiring.
