1 Know your audience

One of the first steps to showcase your public speaking skills is to know your audience and tailor your message accordingly. Depending on who you are talking to, you may need to adjust your tone, language, level of detail, and goals. For example, if you are pitching a game idea to a publisher, you may want to focus on the market potential, the unique selling points, and the budget and timeline. If you are presenting a game prototype to a user testing group, you may want to emphasize the feedback process, the core gameplay loop, and the user experience. Knowing your audience will help you craft a relevant, engaging, and persuasive speech.

Attend events. If you can't go in person, do the online ones. Speak to people. Talk to them about their work and share yours. Be a speaker. Talk about your story, because it shall be a unique one, if nothing more.

In my experience having a conversation about what they find interesting beforehand become invaluable. When you know what they like in a non pressurized setting it becomes easier to have those under pressure conversations. People become persons when you know a little about them.

2 Prepare and practice

Another way to showcase your public speaking skills is to prepare and practice your speech before delivering it. This will help you avoid rambling, stuttering, or forgetting important points. You can prepare by writing an outline, a script, or a storyboard for your speech, depending on the format and the medium. You can also use visual aids, such as slides, videos, or demos, to support your speech and make it more interesting. You can practice by rehearsing your speech aloud, recording yourself, or asking for feedback from a friend or a colleague. Practicing will help you improve your delivery, timing, and confidence.

Practica, pero trata de no memorizar, simplemente tienes que entender bien que es lo que estas tratando de decir y tomar puntos de referencia, de ahi, al momento de estar frente al publico tienes que permitir que la experiencia se desenvuelva sola, no forces a que todo te salgo igual a como lo practicaste. Aprnede a improvisar y a estar comodo con la improvisasión. Yo encutro mucho valor a estar una hora antes de la platica haciendo cosas que no tengan ninguna rlacion con la platica, dejar que tu mente se distraiga permite que se abra a nuevas idas que te pueden funcionar a la horade estar dando tu platica.

3 Use storytelling techniques

A third way to showcase your public speaking skills is to use storytelling techniques to make your speech more memorable and emotional. Storytelling is a powerful tool for game developers, as it can help you convey your vision, passion, and creativity. You can use storytelling techniques such as setting the scene, creating a hook, building suspense, using metaphors, and adding humor. You can also use personal anecdotes, examples, or testimonials to illustrate your points and connect with your audience. Storytelling will help you capture your audience's attention, imagination, and emotions.

A mucha gente le cuesta mucho hablar en publico, de hcho es una de las cosas mas dificiles que se pueden hacer. Cuando yo he tenido que hablar en publico sobre temas de juegos y emprendimientos, siempre me gusta hacerlo por medio de la narracion de historias. Contar historias es una forma muy creativa y emocionante de conectar con tu publico, es una oportunidad de hacer la experiencia personal, poder incluir anecdotas personales, humor e integrar al publico a tu platica. Tambien es una forma de sentirte comodo ya qu al contar una historia con la que etas familiarizado reduces el estres y la duda.

Games are fun. This is what your audience expects. So, use gamification as you talk on games. Score your progress, and level up the audience as they progress with you through the presentation. Give them achievements. ("Good listener - Amazing! You have just listened to me for ten minutes without looking at your phone!)

4 Engage with your audience

A fourth way to showcase your public speaking skills is to engage with your audience and make them feel involved and valued. You can engage with your audience by asking questions, soliciting feedback, conducting polls, or inviting participation. You can also use eye contact, gestures, facial expressions, and vocal variety to show your enthusiasm and interest. You can also adapt your speech based on the audience's reactions, comments, or questions. Engaging with your audience will help you create a rapport, a dialogue, and a sense of community.

5 Handle challenges gracefully

A fifth way to showcase your public speaking skills is to handle challenges gracefully and professionally. Challenges can arise from technical issues, difficult questions, negative feedback, or unexpected situations. You can handle challenges by staying calm, positive, and respectful. You can also use humor, honesty, or empathy to diffuse tension and regain control. You can also prepare for potential challenges by anticipating common questions, objections, or problems, and having backup plans, solutions, or alternatives. Handling challenges gracefully will help you demonstrate your competence, credibility, and resilience.

6 Learn and improve

A sixth way to showcase your public speaking skills is to learn and improve from your experiences and feedback. You can learn by reflecting on your strengths and weaknesses, evaluating your performance, and identifying areas for improvement. You can also seek feedback from your audience, your peers, your mentors, or your coaches, and listen to their suggestions, compliments, or criticisms. You can also use online resources, books, courses, or podcasts to learn new tips, techniques, or strategies. Learning and improving will help you grow as a speaker and as a game developer.

Make sure you are recorded on video, and look at the recording later. It will be painful at first, but with time, you will improve and be proved on yourself - as you should.

No finjas nada a la hora de dar tu platica, se tu. Se natural, si te gusta contar chistes, integra chistes a tu platica, si te gusta contar adecdotas personales, cuentalas, trata de hacer una conexion autentiuca, aunque no lo logres con toda la audiencia.
