IELTS SPEAKING TASKS: How to Sound More Confident?

Preparation is the Key Behind Confidence: You cannot be confident if you are not prepared well. Without practice, you are very likely to look unconfident during your IELTS speaking test. This happens because when you are not prepared, you start focusing on your mistakes on the day of your exam.

Record your Voice while Practicing: The best practical solution of improving speaking is to record your voice and analyze it for the areas of improvements. As you might have a smartphone, it would be easy for you to download and install sound recorder app. Just do it and start practicing it. You can place a full IELTS speaking test or only cue card part in front of you which you can focus at and start speaking.

Try to Speak More and More: During your IELTS speaking test, do not be afraid of the examiner and do not get too much conscious about how he is going to judge you. You can just stay calm and try to speak more by elaborating your answer. If you are in hurry, you are going to make mistakes and if you are going too slow, you would not look confident.

Concentrate on Yourself: To be confident, concentrate more on yourself rather than your examiner, his gestures, body language, reaction to your answers and things like that. In those 15 minutes, it is extremely important that you give your best and you can do so if you concentrate on your performance.

Believe in Your Opinions: Do not be nervous on the way you are giving opinions. It’s not the opinion that matters but how you give your opinion really makes the difference in IELTS speaking. Thus, give a fully confident performance by completely believing on your views, opinions, likes and dislikes.
