I'm a radio host
and I've spoken in front of an audience before
but I have to be honest a
whole room filled with teenagers
I get weak knees' and stomachache
from you are not an easy audience
I just know that
so there is no better day than today to add
this picture
this is me when i was your age
and why when i got this picture to
show you that theirs can only
get better
in appearance but ok i say that
myself i think that i look better now
than the boy i was then
but also in terms of talking and now
i hear you say you talk thanks
i can already
that is also true you have been able to do that since
july 2 3 4 most people
learn then talk but I'm talking about
nice talk and good talking and using the right
body language and
talking enthusiastically and occasionally maybe something you
haven't thought about that much and that's
why I'm here today going to ask you a
question ask
which one of you has a celebrity
crush so to speak
an actor and eg but also
abroad are a singer that makes you really
weak knees
and kind of jitters in your stomach greeting
mark who would celebrity crash come on
harry styles one direction good choice
are there still here demi lovato ok there are
also boys boys group is something
come on jennefer lawrence or something it
seems a good suggestion
also you you have good taste
when i was your age was my
celebrity crush
you grant
thank you thank you
i also thought it was a very good choice as a
teenager i grant you was just the ideal
son in law and played in rom coms and was
the ideal boyfriend
there you do come home with imagine
now i heard someone say harry styles
that I tell you that you are
going to talk to him
12 minutes in a room
you can ask him questions him or her
and you can have a chat I can
imagine that that would make you quite
nervous and because you talk to
someone like that about ten years
ago i happened to have the opportunity
to interview grant here
for the filling machine of
tv brussels where i worked at the time i was
aiming nervous but really where i did
i almost threw up from the idea
alone
and i thought i'm going to call my mommy
trees that cant hugh grant not the
new you grant is full of good
advice who is going to help me
so i called him and trees x i will come i
can interview you grant
what should i do i'm so nervous
and the and another light in the beetle from
who your grant was and the good advice
she gave me was
dear that way just does kk
and that's true that's the best
advice you can take if you
have to talk to someone you don't dare
to talk to
we are all people and we
all go to the toilet
also those people you have to interview
also you grant
i thought it was great advice by the way
i took it with me and i'm n Went to that
shitty hotel where your grant
could be interviewed
we sat there together in a room
waiting with a number of other
journalists a bit like you
all just sit here next to each other
waiting room I feel like soloists who have already
interviewed big stars so they were
very quiet i saw rammed who were also
nervous and i actually got more
and more nervous clammy hands
bieber and the knees you know the before
on my body and at one
point i was called and i thought ok i'm going to
go now enter the room
where your grant is and then
I can ask him questions but that was not the
case I was then taken to a very large
corridor where there was a muse directive
seat where I could wait for a
while and a very long empty hotel corridor
with a seat where I could
sit on
the was also a bit too low and I
had such a skirt name and then you
really fumble for your skirt and then you sit
on that seat and the door opens from the
hotel room and I think ok then the
assistant will come and get him and now from that
hotel room your grant will
casually point to himself with his
hands a trouser pocket has walked past that seat
and he says hi there
and I tell you he
because that is the only thing that
came out of my mouth at that moment and it's one
of the few times when i was
speechless and stopped
talking and it's also one of the
few times when being
able to speak well didn't save
me i was just too nervous
even though i knew your grant also just
goes to the toilet
i'm sure you
learn to talk at school too
speaking engagements raise your hand if
ever you have to do a speaking i
'm not going to ask anyone for his talk
here come again don't worry
okay everyone I also raise your hands in the
air
and raise your hand in the air if you are very
nervous mature through that
speech if you found it exciting
there are a lot of cattle l
rupees why you were nervous what
did you think what what was the problem that the
classes started laughing a very good one
what are the others going to think of me
something else
all those people look if so then you get
nervous about other things make a
statement and go I do talk loud enough
and go to the back of the
class to hear them and I think that at
school when you have to do a presentation they
often talk about what
to say in that presentation
but they don't talk very often about
what you feel when you give such a talk to
me that your throat gets a bit dry
that you get a bit of a stomachache that
you just actually look very
uncomfortable because how the hell are you supposed
to stand at the front of the class and make
sure they put you at the back also hear in the classroom
that is not so often about in
speaking engagements and it is also normal to be
very nervous when you
have to stand in front of an audience and talk
I have at university and a number
have to do oral exams
maybe you already have
oral exams in secondary that is
possible but that makes you completely nervous
about what then you have to talk about a
subject that you don't really
feel like talking about because
yes you just have to do your course material and
you have to talk to a professor
you don't want to talk to because you don't know
those people and you
have to give them points and then your language would
preferably also do very well
I once did an orthopedagogy exam
I studied psychology and I had
to talk about how I would help young people with
problems and of course I had to use
my teaching material and I
was nervous because I might like
good points and I then said to myself
I'm just going to try
to explain it well
I'm going make sure I speak well I
speak clearly I am also polite
in the sense of
say hello when you come in talk
use your voice now it's not like
coming in to a pro now but just
good morning that's the least you
can say and you can
and then I went in I got a
question about which I
knew maybe half of what was in the
course but above all I packed it very nicely
and I explained it well and
I got a 19 out of 20 and
I fell for it myself and the cheers said
to me
you were the first to come in and
who really explained it that the real
story and I am
convinced if you do that on an
oral exam that you already have five
extra points so that you
can only rise
I also sang in a pop group
I participated in popstars that was
a kind of
idol aan van la lettre and I was
chosen for that pop pop not because I was
the best singer of cider
because I couldn't sing that well at all
but I could explain it well and I
could talk well and they had that
already discovered and they also knew the makers
of that pop group of watch such a pop group
must go to the radio go to
television and there must be
answered questions that are
asked and I was chosen for that because
I could explain it well
and now I want to go to you today I would like to
give you
three tips three tips a bit like piet
huysentruyt learned something today
and the first tip I would like to give
is
roses look at
vloggers at youtubers at people who
tell a story
that you like and steal of that
we once had a teacher who is in
secondary english and he gave us an
assignment and she listens to
bbc radio it was our english teacher and
speak that entire piece that you record
after exactly
with the exact same words the
intonation itself and i was then like you and
I thought hear him
okay yes let's do it okay
then we might get good marks
but afterwards I realize that this is how you
learn to say words tests
to learn how to do intonations
how to lay down the end of a sentence nicely you
simply learn to talk
by imitating
i don't know if you
know linde merckpoel that is a presenter for
studio brussels who recently
announced that she is no longer going
presenting on the radio but that she will
mainly be vlogging that she
will make videos for youtube and she
has made one her first
official one and you should watch
such a video and you should
steal from it
how praz how does she talk enthusiastically
what does she tell
a very ordinary story in a certain way but she tells
it in a certain way that you
might also be able to use
so rest assured this is in the
by the way you don't have to look them up on
your smartphone busy
but a lot today enthusiastic
speakers you can look at first
so steal is my first tip the second
tip is it
simple but not really
if you don't remember shut up then
just leave a moment of silence
think and that's less bad than
standing in front of an audience and starting a
sentence that you don't know where you're going to
finish or how you're going to finish it and it
's also less bad than
i know no more just say nothing
speaking is silver silence is gold
and my third and last tip is practice
secretly because you talk a lot
and you don't have to wait for a
talk to practice how to
talk you talk every day on the
playground and also a lot via
whatsapp
I do that myself and I have to
admit it is very addictive to type
a message so quickly and
tell something quickly
but also try to just send to a
friend
I will tell you when I see you and
think about that story
imagine that yesterday you were finally
kissed by that boy you've
been in love with for so long and you
really want to tell that but your
friends are
saving that story for a while ven and
think about it
maybe also look at your parents in a different way
tell your
friends and your girlfriends and see
what that does to a story if you
change it
maybe you can change the team of the
story at the very beginning
the garden becomes funnier or how
do people react to you
you can really play with a story if
I have something to tell for example
my story from your grant
I have often told people that and
I always tried different things with it
and he can see how people
react to that so you have plenty of opportunity
to practice at home with your friends on
the playground
you can talk you can use your own language
so do that as much as possible and
taste a few words or have a look
what a certain intonation does to your
story and to come back to who
you are now
and who I was then now is the time
to learn all kinds of things math
physics chemistry
you go to school to learn things
but this is also your time to
learn how your voice sounds
how you talk and what you want to say
and how you want to tell it
and then i hope we meet again
somewhere and that i
see you talk in an enthusiastic way or
tell a story to friends
that really warms me up
or maybe even a text can do
it sometime thank you
[Applause]
