When making speeches, one immediately thinks of the way the speech should sound to the ears of the listeners. That is why, there is a need to research on the people who are going to listen, to research on what specific needs they feel should be addressed, should research on the demographics of the population of the area the speech is supposed to be spoken.
That is why; a lot of people who makes speeches in different areas of the country tend to sound different in every single state. When in the south they adapt the southern drawl, in the north the Yankee drawl, in Texas, the Texan drawl. Goodness, one gets to thinking they may have the foreign accent syndrome or something.
But that is exactly how to use some conversational hypnosis principles I use in my speeches. I have to be one with the people, be one in their concerns, be one in their plight, be one of them. I have to be them, to push my cause, and being with them, I will be able to gain their support.
The truth to the matter is conversational hypnosis does not involve any hypnosis at all. There are no trances, no twisting of the arm to force them to do something unwillingly. Conversational hypnosis, by any other name, is actually a term that has been much abused, and the people fail to understand its real technique which is to use metaphors and words that have a pattern in it that can illicit certain responses from the listener.
It takes talent to be eloquent. I know I can be, but I know I am no Lincoln or Kennedy. Now those men knew how to make a speech. If I have to use some conversational hypnosis principles I use in my speeches, I would make sure that my models are those two men who were successful in what they did; they put to shame anyone else who tried to emulate them.
