命运号角

3A) Read off a script

This is simple: You write a script, and the talk is you reading it out loud. During the talk, you’re just acting as the messenger—you’re a functional medium connecting the thoughts of your past self to the present audience.

This is the safest and least stressful way to give a talk and it usually puts the audience to sleep, regardless of how good the content is. Audiences have a fine-tuned radar for when they’re listening to a person say something versus when they’re listening to a person

recite

something—in the latter case, the speaker isn’t really

there

in the room with the audience, which has a way of making everyone

really

want to start playing with their phone.

3B) Just barely memorized

As you move along the scripted spectrum from 3A to 3B, you go from entirely reading, to reading mostly but with some looks up at the audience, to mostly looking up at the audience with some glances down to the paper, to totally memorized with no paper in hand.

A paperless 3B speaker won’t come off much different than a 3A speaker. The 3B speaker isn’t technically reading off of a script, but he might as well be. Because his memorization of the script is fragile, his mind isn’t focused on the content of what he’s saying—it’s focused on reciting the words he memorized. He’ll struggle to make eye contact, and his sentences will come off just robotic enough to make the audience clear that he’s a mostly-unthinking messenger of a written script. Phones will be reached for.

The main difference is that while 3A is the safest method of all, 3B is the riskiest. Going for it without the paper when you only barely have the talk memorized is a great way to disastrously go blank mid-talk.

3A）读讲稿

S

o easy：写稿子并大声朗读。整个演讲你只是一个传播信息的——你把你之前想的表达给观众。

这种无风险无压力的演讲，不管是什么内容都具有催眠作用。朗读与背诵，观众更喜欢后者。就算是背，观众也只想在底下玩手机。

3B）

背讲稿

下面那个小光谱线表示从完全读下来，偶尔看看观众，

偶尔看看稿子到完全背诵。

3B）和3A）差不多，3B）不是把稿子全都读下来，但也差不了多少，因为他背下来的稿子讲出来显得很平淡，他关注的不是讲出来的内容，而是他背下来的词句。他想看着观众还要机械性地背句子来让观众知道他这是一个复述人员。观众顺理成章的掏出了手机。

3A）和3B）最大的不同是

3A）最没有风险，3B）最有风险。用背诵把演讲变成了空白真的很悲剧。
