Talking in class wasn't even a bit problem for me before pandemic. I used to represent my group. But when covid has started, just thinking about speaking would make me feel terrify. Cold feet, hands shaking, heart's pounding, usual signs of speaking anxiety. Because I kept thinking about 'Maybe I' ve changed already and I can't do it anymore.' But upon diving into this video, it got me straight, beating anxiety is about not focusing on yourself but rather on what you are about to do. Loosening up and having fun. Maybe that's one thing I have neglected. I was always focused on the things I thought I couldn't, but hell, I definitely can. Thank you for this video :)

Another thing that helps is contradictory. Try to feel as much fear as you possibly can, crank it up. Notice how it really feels and accept it. It won't kill you to do this. Once it's accepted it will go away, the more you resist the more it will keep itself around.

I have done relatively a lot of public speaking whether it is giving a presentation at a convention or providing state of department projects for annual upper management review . The degree of anxiety is fluid and depends how ready you are with your material. I engage the audience first and that brings them in as part of the presentation...and I'm asking them questions thru-out. One thing I find many people who are uncomfortable speaking, is they try to do the conventional approach first but as soon as they get the dreaded "shakey voice" they almost always revert to reading their speech....Not good. And one odd thing I have found out about most people is while they are afraid to speak in public, they are usually the first to volunteer for a community play or skit acting the part of a fictional or historic character. It seems their fear always goes away when "hamming it up".

have been afraid of public speaking as long as I can remember. I have dropped out of school and lost a lot of opportunities because I was too afraid to speak. I'm scared to talk to authority or speak in front of people because my mind goes blank. My heart beats so fast and my mouth goes dry. Then after that I get very very depressed and think of suicide because I felt like a failure. I don't want this to control my life. I did toast masters today and it was so hard. Very hard for me but I forced myself to. I know the fear is irrational but it impacts my life and my body and my mind . After toast masters I got depressed for reasons I don't know. I'm going to go again. It's like I'm walking into the danger to overcome it. I see potential to present. I see hope to give a speech some day. I'm so so so scared but I have to .

Anybody watching these videos please understand that your ‘nervousness’ may be more than just ‘public speaking anxiety’. Serious mental health conditions may also be at play like ‘selective mutism’ and ‘complex PTSD’ for example. These tips are fine but please be sure you are getting the appropriate help.

For me it’s more so will I forget what I prepared for. That’s what causes my anxiety. How do I retain the information, formulate it and deliver it coherently. I want to sound convincing.

I have a speech to present at school for English and I'm nervous, I have this technique and it's that everyone gets nervous about presenting a speech, I don't have to present it if I'm too nervous but it doesn't really work, I also want to just end it already but I'm restarting my speech because it makes no sense at all

I love your videos, always learn something valuable.These tips are great, will definitely try the choosing 5 people both to speak to first to gauge the audience's needs & also to pick 5 people in the audience to focus on.

I have to do a presentation about Covid-19 policies today, so nervous it’s worth a lot of my grade. And we aren’t allowed to use notes or look on a screen, we have to just make up our words on spot :(
