S2 EP41 | Speak with Confidence: How Great Speakers Read the Room

How Great Speakers Read the Room

Speak With Confidence – Part 3

One of the biggest misconceptions about public speaking is that confidence comes from sticking perfectly to a script.

In reality, confidence comes from presence.

In Episode 3 of the Speak With Confidence series, Madiama Mbaye breaks down one of the most practical and transformational skills in public speaking: reading the room while you speak.

Great speakers don’t panic when energy shifts.

They don’t rush when silence appears.

They don’t freeze when a moment doesn’t land.

They observe, adjust, and lead.

This episode goes beyond theory and into real-life application, offering concrete examples and simple tools you can use immediately — whether you’re speaking on stage, in a meeting, in a classroom, or in everyday conversations.


In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • What “reading the room” really means (and what it doesn’t)
  • Why shifts in energy are feedback, not failure
  • The three main audience states: engaged, confused, and disengaged
  • How to recognize body language and facial cues in real time
  • What to do when people look confused, tired, or disconnected
  • How to recover when a joke or key moment doesn’t land
  • Why slowing down often increases confidence and authority
  • Simple tools to stay connected without losing your flow

Practical Examples Covered:

  • Blank faces and how to respond calmly
  • Energy dropping halfway through a talk
  • Silence after a joke or important point
  • When to pause, clarify, or shift tone
  • How great speakers reset the room with small adjustments

Key Takeaway:

Great speakers don’t control the room — they connect with it.

Reading the room turns uncertainty into confidence because you’re responding to what’s real, not guessing.

What’s Coming Next:

In Episode 4, we bring everything together and focus on owning your voice — how to speak with confidence even when fear is present, and how to use your voice as a tool for leadership and impact.

Invitation:

If this series is helping you, imagine what guided practice, feedback, and structure could do.

The Mentium Public Speaking Course is coming soon — a complete program designed to help you speak with confidence, clarity, and presence.
