OBAMA OUT Article by: Ongky Hojanto
Barack Obama is a character who speaks highly I admire. There are several points that can be used for Barack Obama style, such as facial expressions, intonation or opening and closing in a public speaking. An interesting example is, relating to the closing statement in the final speech at the White House correspondents’ dinner.The less than 45 minute conversation was closed by Barack Obama with two words of Obama Out and followed by body language (putting a finger on his lip as if he would be silent and drop the microphone as a sign he had no right to speak. Not many serious figures prepare their speeches in the context of Public Speaking. Some made by their assistants and this is not wrong, but the missing is the appreciation or spirit of the speech. When you see Obama spoke there are three important points you can learn: 1.
Prepare Well Mastering what is discussed must be followed by a good preparation and mature. Some people do not prepare well when talking so just leave a blank impression and no deep meaning. The observation of what is being said will make the contents of the presentation come alive, in my language above a spirit-filled presentation. It also deals with the opener you will use and the closing you will use.
2.
Charge with emotion (pathos) Humor is one of the characteristics of Obama’s speech, several times the content of his speech is inserted with illustration of humor that invites laughter from the audience. Humor is an interesting form of illustration, besides the story. So you need to paste in the contents of your presentation.

3.
Leave a deep impression The deep impression in each presentation is not just about what you are talking about but related to how you talk about it. Body language plays an important role in this. There are five components of body language to note: eye gaze, hand gestures, foot position, sound (volume, gap, intonation, clear, energy). to display elegant body language. Practicing in front of a mirror is a good way to try.
