Teatime: Three Stages of Practicing Public Speaking

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Knowledge can be grown by reading or attending seminars. Good skills are not just enough to read; they must also be honed with practice. Likewise, with public speaking. Public kicking is a skill that must be honed with practice and knowledge. Exercise must also be done in a variety of effective ways. Not only a usual practice.

This Friday, 4 February 2022, the International Program Communication Department of the Universitas Islam Indonesia (IPC UII) held a Teatime session on public speaking. IPC UII invited Trisnawati Sovitia Putri, a UII Communication Department alumnus currently working as a Public Relations (PR) at Genting Energy. In this relaxed chat entitled “The Urgency of PR Skills in the Work Environment,” Puput explained how She practiced public speaking while still in college.

Starting from Herself to Practicing with Friends

Puput, Trisnawati’s nickname, shares learning techniques and practicing public speaking in her style. This is all based on her personal experience forging herself practicing public speaking. Starting from ourselves to finally with friends. There are stages, She said. The following is Puput’s experience in practicing.

Talking in Front of the Mirror

The first is to practice speaking in front of the mirror. Puput practiced speaking in front of the mirror as if facing the audience. “I practice all gestures, all utterances; even my facial expressions are serious as if there is an audience in front of me,” said Puput.

Record using the smartphone screen.

After practicing in front of the mirror, Puput tried to practice by recording herself talking in front of a smartphone. She can judge her presentation when it has been recorded and viewed again. “From there, I came to know which ones need to be fixed. Check which ones are lacking; the gestures should just be like this,” Puput said, telling us which parts were good and needed changes.

Practice in front of friends

The final step is to practice in front of friends. This will further establish yourself and train your confidence. If previously there was no audience, now there will be an audience who can later practice their confidence in front of the audience.

Mulai dari Diri Sendiri sampai Berlatih Bersama Teman

Puput, panggilan akrab Trisnawati, membagikan teknik belajar dan berlatih public speaking ala dirinya. Ini semua adalah berdasarkan pengalaman pribadinya menempa diri berlatih berbicara di depan umum. Mulai dari diri sendiri hingga akhirnya bersama teman-teman. Ada tahapannya, katanya. Berikut pengalaman Puput dalam berlatih.

Bicara di Depan Cermin
Pertama adalah latihan dengan cara ngomong di depan cermin. Puput dulu mempraktikan berbica di depan cermin seolah sedang menghadapi audience sungguhan. “Aku praktekkan semua gesture, semua ucapan, bahkan mimik muka juga aku serius kayak ada audience di depanku,” tutur Puput.

Record pakai layar ponsel.
Setelah latihan di depan cermin, Puput mencoba mempraktekan dengan merekam dirinya sendiri sedang berbicara di depan ponsel. Ketika sudah direkam dan dilihat lagi, ia akan bisa menilai presentasinya sediri. “Dari situ aku jadi tahu mana yang perlu diperbaiki. Cek mana yang kurang, Harusnya gesturnya begini aja,” kata Puput bercerita bagian mana yang sudah baik dan bagian mana yang perlu perubahan.

Latihan di depan teman
Langkah terakhir adalah latihan di depan teman-temannya. Ini akan semakin memantapkan diri dan melatih percaya diri. Jika sebelumnya tidak ada audience sugguhan, kini akan ada audience yang nantinya bisa melatih kepercayaan dirinya de depan audience sungguhan.

He believes that sharing these activities will lead to and open up many opportunities for new activities and broaden his social horizons. One day, a friend from the Department of International Relations gave him information about an international event called Model United Nations (MUN). “At first, I didn’t know much about it, so I googled it to find out more.

Many meet with many people, so more networking. I had to be able to because I was forced to speak, I had to speak English, and I also wrote articles in English,” recalls Rafif.

Participating in international events attended by various national backgrounds and various backgrounds made Rafif realize that there are so many great people out there. He also learns that the world is vast, with multiple abilities and diverse views. “Realize that the world is big and diverse. Lots of cool people out there.”

Broaden Your Insights by Taking a Cross-Country Journey at P2A

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Camera mastery is the most important thing for Communication major students. Photography projects that explore nature and humans will be easy to do if you have mastery over the tools. In addition, being good at observing natural phenomena is also one of the important skills when students majoring in communication are finally involved in a cross-country photography competition project.

Atha Ramaputra, one of the 2017 UII Communications students, said that as a Communications student, he was obliged to hone his photography skills nationally and internationally. Atha had the opportunity to participate in the Global Mobility program held by the International Program, UII Communications Department called P2A.

P2A stands for Passage to ASEAN. The first P2A theme was Human Nature Photography. At the Teatime Talkshow by IPC (International Program of Communication) UII, on January 14, 2022, Atha took the time to share her experiences of learning and interacting with students across countries, universities, and ethnic, racial, and religious lines.

Actually, what is Atha’s motive for joining P2A? So asked Arsila Khairunnisa, the host of Teatime at that time. Atha said she likes photography and videography. He is also curious about his photos when he took part in the P2A Passage to Asean in 2018. What kind of work will he get when he comes to Thailand and Malaysia.

Atha, currently undergoing an internship program as an Internal Communication Content Production at Kompas Gramedia (KG) Media in Kompas, said he had learned many things while participating in P2A. According to Atha, UII Communication students need to take part in P2A. Students cannot obtain many experiences only by interacting with fellow Indonesians.

Mainly, Atha said, she could learn about the cultures of Asian countries, “we can also share the daily life of each participant between countries. We can also practice our English,” said Atha. “We are also not ashamed. We Asians are still learning together because we are not native English. They also understand our vocabulary. P2A also makes us practice self-confidence,” he added later.

Atha said the activities took place in three countries. First, activities are centred in Indonesia. From UII, Atha and other participants from Malaysia (UUM Malaysia), and Thailand, were invited to live in the homes of residents around Borobudur and Puntuk Setumbu, Magelang. “My group consists of various groups from Thailand and Cambodia, and we are one group. We are sharing with the residents,” said Atha. After the trip to Indonesia, Atha and the participants turned to Malaysia and Thailand. On this trip to Asian countries, all P2A participants were asked to hone their photography skills. The photos taken by each participant will be assessed and entered in the P2A competition, which will later receive the main prize from sponsors such as Nikon Asia.

Atha shared many experiences in this talk show. Not only emotion but also the experience of losing his passport when he was in a neighbouring country. The moral value is always to be careful in faraway lands.
