It is thought and also proven that the art of public speaking has been around for thousands of years. Some public speaking experts believe that this art is a good reason to how the human race has developed through time to be the social things that we are.

In days of old messages and information was often carried down from generation to generation through story tellers. So it is obvious that public speaking is a large part of our history.

It is amazing to think that some experts believe that the ancient Egyptians were so well versed at public speaking that they even created a sort of manuscript on how to do it.

It’s exciting when you realise that public speaking isn’t just localised to one country. It has actually been around in every country on the planet throughout history.

One of the forefounders of public speaking as we know it was a man who lived in Athens in the period of 300 BC. His name was Demosthenes. His passion was public speaking yet he was sort of held back by the fact he had a speech impediment.

What makes him even more well known is that he cured his speech impediment by putting pebbles in his mouth while he would recite text. After several weeks of doing this it somehow helped him to sound normal and cure his impediment. He was so passionate about speaking that he wouldn’t let a little problem stand in his way.

Now you may not know this but some experts say that the best way to cure your fear of public speaking is to just get up there and do it. After some time it will become second nature to you and having all those eager ears listening to you will fill you with passion to do it more.

The United States has also had several famous speakers. The two most famous that come to mind are Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King. There have been others but they are the two most notable ones. Martin Luther King is probably the most famous speaker in history with his “I have a dream” speech which almost everyone on the planet knows.

At any point in time in human history there have been great speakers. Let’s not forget the great Winston Churchill who delivered not one but several famous speeches.

A great speech has the ability to make a person a legend that will be remembered forever. Public speaking is history in the making and something that I hope shall continue for a long time to come.
