Thank you. i had a public presentation couple of week ago, and with a lot of preparation and practice i was able to make it without a lot of nervousness. i chewed gum so i don't know if that helped :)
Congratulations on conquering your fear. To be honest with you i am always a bit nervous before any presentation. Most professionals are. So keep at it and I am sure you;ll get better and better. Godspeed.
Me too!! It’s always really bad at the beginning of any presentation for me. For me, I found that my anxiety gradually gets better as I continue and by the end I own the room.
Theres a difference being in the crowd because you are equal in attention within the group..When shes in front she separates and now becomes the center of attention
Vendrix Uther think of it like this, you think people can see you shaking but they can't. Try to not focus on yourself shaking. Just try to relax and think of how to outcome will be good. Then you'll get better over time
Hi Vendrix, see my reply to Gabriela :) also imagine yourself feeling confident before the presentation. See yourself as having completed your presentation successfully and people are happy to listen to you. Focus on them being happy not how they will think about you doing the presentation. Change your focus and it will change your outcome.
Hey Sean Sweats, When you say on another level can you be a bit more clear? What do you associate speaking in public too? I see you do a lot of videos, maybe finding your strategy for doing online videos can help you get over your fear
If you would take death before talking in front of people that is not "fear", it likely eludes to you being unhappy in many areas, or having a mental issue. You should seek help if you mean what you say.
One really good point which I took from this video was that, we can do it. But it's just that we think we can't do it. I recently thought about how amazing it would be if I can practice presentations in a non judgemental area till I feel comfortable, but not feeling comfortable doesn't mean I can't do it. It's just us over thinking... we can physically and mentally do it but we just over think over things. And also, in the crowd we are not presenting in front of hundreds of ourselves who our constantly judging every mistake. just normal people, who would like to see you do well and don't really care much if you do mess up. I did absolutely terrible for 2 years in college when I presented. and I mean I nervously spoke, my voice shaked and everyone would just look at me and they would feel akward too I could tell. even now I feel a bit nervous but I can speak clearly. I can present amazingly, it's just my mind over thinking. whether my mind becomes more positive or even more negative it doesn't change the fact that, I already can do it.
I've been doing a lot more presentations in grade 12, and so far, even though I've only done 4 out of maybe 9, I have made some progress. The first presentation, my voice was a little shaky, the second my voice was only shaky for a brief sentence in the end (mind you I only read a paragraph), the third presentation was the best one, my voice didn't shake at all and I was presenting by my self even while my powerpoint failed. The fourth one was a set back, but the presentation was on spot and I wasn't sure whether it counted. (I only had to say 2 sentences lol), but still my voice shook for the whole 2 sentences. And I have another one coming up, however, I know that when I PRACTICE everything feels slightly better.
OhhGrav congratulations on your progress and getting and taking the plunge. One thing I could add to help you out is to suggest that you only focus on how you can help the others. 1 or 50 people won't matter because you are focused on them so you forget about yourself. I used to be very shy and I do still get nervous a couple of minutes before I start but I know its because I don't want to offend anyone not because I think I won't deliver a certain way. Hope this helps, godspeed.
Great takeout OhhGrav ! To be honest with you I am usually nervous for the first couple of seconds beforehand and then I remember to stay focus on the others I am helping out instead of myself and it goes away immediately. Congrats on your evolution. i am sure you'll get better and better each time
Like this video.made me think in a different way. Took a public speaking class in college and we discuss the fear but not really ways to adress the fear except practice which is only a little part of the problem...
I love this video,I have a PowerPoint presentation this week and I'm freaking out so much this video helped me in a way that I'm slightly okey to present on Thursday here's hoping I can still get through it Wish me luck I'm seriously gonna need it
Thank you for the great comment Fish Taco! I hope it did help you, give me a shout to tell me how it went. We are working at making another one that has more detailed instructionsto help people so I will keep you posted.
Alain Jean-Baptiste sir need your favour iam facing alot of trouble because iam not able to speak infront of people even when i meet starnger my heart start beating which decrease my confidence level .kindly help me to come out from trouble ..
Oh! This is a good video, I followed her body language just from tense to when she begun open up with her hands towards the end of the show, I am always like that when I have just begun to talk but it comes easy when I get in control of my body language. Amazing!
My main issue has always been peoples facial expressions. When it looks like people are disinterested (yawning, looking away, etc) it throws me off. Then I remember that I do that too and it helped me realize that although people don't always show it, they still may be engaged with you and that has helped me get better at public speaking in front of seemingly disinterested people.
Thank you Kapil garg :) Let me know if there are other techniques you would like me to make a video of. If you have not subscribed yet please do so as there are more video's coming in the pipeline.
I become afraid when i m before people . I m becoming nervous before them. when i m about to give the speech my colour changes to red and i become nervous and forget that what i have to say
My problem is I go bright red and start sweating profusely. I did presentation recently. I . Everyone was asking me am I was ok after and saying I was so embarrassed. I was depressed all week. Hate having this disorder
Hi Sandy, well congratulations on being courageous enough to have tried it. . I understand how that can make you feel embarrassed. Take the time and rewind the event in your mind and ask yourself what is it your body was trying to communicate to you and that can help you for next time once you have addressed it.Thanks again for your question and godspeed
I think this man has the best remedy. This is really up front. Hes literally having a person come up and face it. All the other vids feel like bs advice. Just talk talk talk about this and that. Hey just do this and you ll magically not be nervous lol.
Here is a blog post I just created which might help you for now. The website is being revamped for blogging so you should be seeing more posts soon to help you and others create more success.www.alainjeanbaptiste.com/conquer-fear-public-speaking-by-alain-jean-baptiste/
@@jeroen2901 I would suggest you read How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie which you can find on Amazon. That's what billionaire Warren Buffet used to help him out for his public speaking engagements and lose his fear of public speaking and his anxiety
I think you should ask Doctor, Who gave them to you and about their side effects for your own body. It’s always best to do it without, but if you need them, then your family doctor with know.
I just get so nervous when I present to my classmates. I get nervous and anxious, my mouth gets dry, my voice becomes shaky, it's hard to breathe, I lose my breath and can't talk, I then wait like a couple of seconds to catch my breath then it even gets more akward and I become even more anxious.😢 Can anyone please help me!
Hey Youngboytoonice, one good way is to be prepared before and rehearse. I know it might be boring or you might not like to do it but it allows you to have much more control. If its classmates imagine that you would be presenting something to your team and make it friendly and fun. Focus on how you want to feel during the presentation. I use a lot of humor and caring depending on the presentation I have to give. Hope it helps and thanks for taking the time to better yourself
Hey man thanks for the videos, i get so nervous in front of people and the movement i begin to speak i start to stumble on every word that i speak why does it happen to me..what is wrong with me is there a solution ? I experience the same even when i speak my native language
Hey Goutham thank you. First off nothing is wrong with you because of that :) Take a breath and focus on your message instead of the people. Remember yo have something important to say say it. The reason you stumble is because your focus is probably on "what will they think of me" which takes time for your brain to process at the same time its trying to deliver your speech. Remember your brain can only do one thing at a time. Keep me posted
As I get on to stage my heart beating very fast.. I feel very nervous. Bcoz of this I forget the things as to what I have to say.. plz give me some guidelines as to how overcome it.
Hi Himani, do you rehearse before you go on stage? How much do you know the material you are presenting. Find out what do you focus on just before you get on stage and what are the beliefs you have about presenting your material. You can imagine yourself having succeeded before you go on stage and then go towards the you that have succeeded. Its a way to go beyond the anxiety. I am setting up a new studio for video production next month and will be doing videos on how to handle stage fright again and anxiety so stay tune.
It's an interesting video, but the specific technique that you used here is not clear to me. You linked the experience of public speaking to her daily work - a realm where she's effective and confident? In order to show her that there's a similar skill set and similar emotional pay off at play?
When I have to speak in front of an audience I get nervous. To the point of getting chills. My limbs start to shake, my brain gets foggy and I start fumbling over my words.
Ya public speaking is scary idk why it happens maybe i am to much in my head but i get sweaty nervousness anxious checks turn red an when i try to talk i stutter really bad to the point where you can't understand me and i just felt so embarrassed i had to walk out the class and i dropped the class i am trying to get over this fear because this happened when i was 19 now i am 26 with some life experience and i am taking public speaking in college but i am still scared shitless.
You may want t try some techniques to heal the young adult. stay courageous thought and keep practicing your skills. I used to be petrified in primary school and then I decided to face it full on.
I feel so nervous that I feel like I can't breathe. What I fear is people thinking that I can't speak proper English (not an English speaker) I fear being judged
Hi Anelisa, no one likes to be judged. From experience in doing public speaking in two different languages simultaneously with hundreds of people while being recorded, the thing I found best is to explain it to people and allow yourself to make jokes at the same time. Sometimes I laugh at my self and people find it funny. People will appreciate most of the time that you are trying their language. Thank you for your comment and dont forget to subscribe as I will make a video on this shortly so other people can benefit form it.
I drop of school because of my extreme social anxiety...when i am around a lot of people i feel so sufficiented. My body feel pain and i can't wait to come home and get in my room and relax
My anxiety goes from 0 to 100 as soon as I begin public speaking. The build up to the moment is panic. Sometimes on occasion I think I'll be ok but 10 seconds into it I start losing breath, voice shaking, anxiety at highest peak. Biggest problem is thinking about what I want to say while public speaking, it's almost like my mind goes blank and I can't express myself the way I intend, the words are just not there. I think it has a lot to do with people looking at me, seeing there eyes, and perhaps thinking negatively. A slight change in their facial expression that I might perceive as bad can induce it immediately. How can I work on this?
So I need so much help when it comes to public speaking. When I give presentations I have to do them in English which is a second language for me. I freak out, turn red, my voice breaks, my body shakes, and sometimes my eyes start to water a little bit which makes everything worse. If I have to give presentations in my native language I still have the same like “symptoms” but not so extreme. How can I get better??? please help
Hi Gabriela thanks for watching my video. One thing you can do since the representation is in another language is to visualize yourself saying it in that language first. This will allow you to practice in that language and correct it at the same time. once you have done it a couple of time and feel better than practice it out loud and imagine the people want to hear from you. Most times we imagine negative stuff and our body reacts to protect us. I will be honest with you, before every presentation, all great speakers feel nervous as they really care for people and like myself want to do an awesome job. So a little bit of stress is ok but remember that you have to imagine yourself succeeding before the presentation and that will help you feel more confident.
hi Joel israel, what was the difference between the first and second time? Find that out and it will help you towards the 3rd time. Between those two times must be something that helped you adapt.Thats what you need to bring to consciousness
I've a presentation in college on tuesday and I'm very scared and anxious about it. I'm scared that our professor won't be able to hear my voice when i speak because ever since my school days Whenever, I've to speak or present in front of my class i couldn't. I would start having panic attack and forget what I've to speak. And I'd always get told to speak louder since they can't hear me. Help me how can i speak loudly and clearly so that our professor and everyone in the class would be able to hear me?
Hey Kenny yyou need to project your voice is a technique you can do. Beforehand (like the day before if its not to late) Imagine that you are confident and that you are talking in a way in which your voice carries all the way to the back of the room. Forget the past focus on the future. Every presentation is different and a new one. Also practice your voice and if you can try to find an actors voice class in your area that will greatly help you. Here is a recent one I found on youtube for you. National Theatre: Vocal Warm-Up - RUclips ruclips.net/video/CFXqyl4C1J4/видео.html. Hope this helps. Remember practice makes perfect :). Godspeed
When i spek even with too people nd it was a serios topic so my heart beat is too fast to much my hands are shvering and my voice plz give me solution ds fear just destroy my life and i also forgot tings
Try controlling your breathing so that you can calm your heart down. Allow yourself to think about what you want to say to the person instead of maybe thinking about how they view you. I beleive that if you work on your breathing like some people do when they are extremely nervous do it will help a bit more for you to stay in control and be more confident.
I get so much nervous, my leg shakes so much i just stuck their and my heart beat so much fast and i feel sweat . I dont know what to do as i want to speak front of public.
Hi Mussarat. One thing you can do before is know your material perfectly well. Another thing you can do is control your breathing and imagine in your mind that you are presenting in front of a couple of friends then imagine a bigger number of people. You can call me for one on one coaching if you really want to do public speaking. Try this for starts and get back to me and I can see if I can give you more feedback from what you started with.
How about the person who was great at public speaking. Then he or she had personal Issue. It made him or her lost confidence. Then he or she can't gain it back?
You can always contact me for a consult. It would depend on the issue and the "anchor" that was created from the event. I hope this helps. My email is admin@keepusinmind.com.
Just thought of another thing that could help you Sansan, Find out what is it precisely you lost confidence about and the look at what would you need to be able to rely on that again. Hope this helps
Hey Lone we are heading to the studio to give more tools and techniques in the next week or so. Why you tell me specifically how you become afraid and i will see how I can create a small video to help you out. Also, remember to check the link for my blog. we are looking at maybe doing a live presentation via skype or recorded one so i will keep everyone here up to date.
I think he shouldve chose someone with real bad anxiety and see how that goes. Someone worse then her, mumbling, shaking etc to see what happens. Great video. 😁
Thank you Christian, for your great feedback. I will take you up on that :). Now that my new studio is up and running and my program on reality creation is almost complete. I will ask someone with more anxiety if they can come to my studio and do a demonstration with me. Great idea I love! I can't guarantee it will be under 12 minutes but hey if it can be done that will show more possibilities for success.
Hi Just another Otaku, I would control my breathing before and also what is it that you are thinking about when you are on stage? What are you focusing on? That will give you a clue. Find out the change your focus and that should help
Alain Jean-Baptiste I always want to give people the best of me. I want to show them what I have worked hard for so long so that everyone will be happy. I can tell myself that I've done a great job and the audience will enjoy themselves. I really want everyone to be happy like that but I always find myself thinking that if I go on stage I'll only diassapoint them. I really want to change these thoughts but I just can't!
Hi Jenny one of the best strategies to use is to control your breathing and focus on your subject not the crowd. This way you will lower the fact that you are judging yourself and you will be focused on them not you. Hope this helps thanks for your question
There's a difference between the traditional anxiety associated with public speaking and the current nervousness that has a definite sexual undertone, especially among females and it presents itself with increased hand gestures and double entendres. These two actions seem to be done unconsciously, but conscious awareness of the action seems to occur shortly afterward, creating a nervous "sleep"-wake-"sleep"-wake cycle, until it becomes a mostly "sleep" cycle which continues until the climax of the speech. There is mass hypnosis going on. Wake up to this and then wake up as many as you can because there is a sinister element to this that we may never become aware of. I also notice that whoever has kept their mind focused on important things other than sex tend to do well when publicly speaking. So we all need to wake up and clear our minds. Or we will degenerate into an animal that has no conscience.
Spot on man! I also believe the same thing. I feel like it is a "public secret" that people who are good at public speaking have figured out on their own. Family men/women are very calm people in general, because there's no existential sexual dread in their mind. When I drop all aspects of sexuality in my mind I become very calm in public or in conversations (I'm a single male) I came to this conclusion after experimenting and analysing what goes through my mind and how I feel and act during different mental attitudes I have. I have a more complex explanation, but this suffices.
Hi Pursenba, There are a couple of things you can do to minimize this as it is physiological. One is to wear and undershirt or t-shirt under that does not show. You can wear a jacket or a suit that will also hide it. Make sure to wear antiperspirant or deodorant. I have often seen people bring a gym towel and wipe themselves up a bit bit for as they sweated a lot. I remember doin a commercial once and I had to use a steamer to get my sweat out and a dryer so you have to be creative sometimes also. Hope this helps and remember to subscribe as I think I might just do a video on this that could be cool to watch. Thanks for the question and Godspeed
Hi Ishak, please read the latest comments I posted to help you with a technique on calming yourself. Another thing you can do is ask yourself what is making my voice shake. Do I shake before or during? Ask yourself what am I telling myself or what are my beliefs about this interview. Again i must admit during interviews I am nervous myself. One thing I have learned by taking up acting classes (So I can get better on cam:)) is that you can't please everyone and as they say in modeling if they don't take you it's not because of you its because they are looking for something specific and your simply not it. This allows you to take it as feedback. Just remember that you have worth and that someone will eventually recognize it through synchronicity and get you to that place you are looking to be in. Hope you subscribed and hope this helps. Godspeed
Then if you imagine then thinking bad about you start reversing that to people listening to you, allowing themselves to learn and then cheering you. Start in your mind first
Does nobody speak faster n loud when they r afraid ? its the case for me my heart runs mile and i even dont understand what i speak its so fast n pitched whay to do
Hi Barsha, I can say from personal experience that I do. Especially when I speak French for some reason. I suggest you first calm yourself by doing a gentle meditation or I use a small mantra to help me pace myself before I go on stage. I admit I ALWAYS get nervous before I get on stage. The reason being I don't know everyone I used to be afraid of failing. Then I started listening to my emotional self first and then calm down and view every speaking engagement as feedback to make it better the next time. You learn how to "Work the Crowd" is what I call it. I will be doing new videos on this in the next few weeks so watch for them as my new studio is up and running. please subscribe if you have not yet and go to www.alainjeanbaptiste.com/conquer-fear-public-speaking-by-alain-jean-baptiste/ to get more techniques and tips. thanks again for your comment
I feel like i can't see or hear last time tried to gave speach at school...the most embarrassing day of my life. Now i work jobs that doesn't really intersect with people and i take 3 shift which means no a lot of people around. Very sad
Hi Devine you can always go on my website for more information and subscribe to see upcoming videos on more strategies for public speaking and how to deal with anxiety.
Hey hope I am not late to send you positive vibes for your presentation. If it's not to late check the link to my blog to get more rapid info. God Spee Alaex!
Mine is I get nervous it seems that I am panicking and my whole body are shaking. That is why when I have a class presentation I prefer not to hold any paper or books something that I need to read so they won't notice that Im shaking.
Hey AB thanks for your comment. I just uploaded a new video that can help you with dealing with stress and anxiety. cHeck it out here its called: "Get Rid of Your Anxiety Under 5 Minutes - 3 Step Process Technique To Use Before Public Speaking" @. Hope it helps keep courage and yo'll get better at it.
Hey Kiran. 10 Control your breathing. 2) Change your state by changing the images in your mind. If its like a phobia it means your imagining something that is most probably big so make the image smaller. If you feel you are in it imagine being out of the image at first and then having control over it. I would start remembering when you were truly confident about something and then bringing that feeling in that image of you presenting up front then imagining that you are going to do the presentation. I hope this helps for now.
I was never scared of public speaking but once I messed up in a presentation and I've been scared ever since my voice shakes so much and I start losing my focus and my worries start getting the best of me
Hi Suh, actually thats called and anchor. Its similar to trauma and so that is probably why you felt that way when you were in a similar environment.Thanks for writing
This woman does not have a fear of public speaking. She went right up front and spoke in front of the group with no sign of panic or distress. She is just a little shy.
Thank you Macbarbie. Check out my new videos daily on my Facebook page. business.facebook.com/psychicmediumalainjeanbaptiste/?business_id=911459692212065 Le me know if there are any other techniques you would love for me to create for you
This clearly was helpful to her, but to say that she lost her public speaking fear is simply not true. Most people would report that they have "public speaking fear" and yet they still are able to do it when it's necessary. This was just the beggining of one session... I know NLP practictioners love to say that they "instant cured" people, but this is simply not true. First, what there was to cure anyway? Public speaking anxiety is quite the norm. She didn't lost it, she just started to see it in a different way, which can be helpful...but as far as we can see in this video, she was just answering questions and for the nature of this situation, she was at least partially answering what she thought was expected.
Thanks Alexandre, in this case the woman now is able to give other public speaking conferences for her work. We have kept in touch with her after the 3 day training on NLP Persuasion and influence IN MIND which was the course this was taken from. She was not able to do that before. Your point about being cured is good as it used more for the explanation instead of using the term as we would use it for an illness. Thanks for your comment and also for taking the time to see the video.
Hey x0x x0x don't be so hard on yourself. Honestly view this as a way for your body to tell you that it's afraid, find out about how it is afraid by asking it what its trying to communicate to you and that should start helping you cope with that emotional self which is probably terrified. Once you know you can ask that part of you to start realizing that like riding a bike if it falls down sometimes it will get back up and ultimately start riding :) hope this helps
The lady is not even that sensitive, wrong candidate, people who suffer from fear can not even stand in front of public, they might start shaking or feeling wierd, ..
Hey Steve, thanks for commenting. I am not sure what clickbait means but this was filmed live during a weekend training. If you look up NLP technique I am sure you can find many examples when people lose their phobias under 15 minutes. Hope this helps
Alain Jean-Baptiste that may be true, but this woman did not lose her fear in this video. The title and the content are misleading. “Clickbait” is when the title of a video does not truthfully reflect the actual video content. I believe that to be the case for this video. I’m familiar with NLP. I’ve also been a presentation skills trainer and coach for over 15 years. These types of videos do a disservice to our industry. I’m sure you do a lot of good work. I just found this video to be misleading and/or dishonest.
Thanks for your clarification and feedback Steve. The title was more to show people to keep possibilities in mind and that it can be done in a short period of time. I will be creating more of videos soon. Our next video will be more of a step by step approach as I get more familiar with how to properly present things on RUclips.
She was pretty confident from the beginning I feel..bcuz she volunteered to come upstage whereas a nervous person won't even come on the stage
I get nervous by just thinking of doing public speaking!
Hi Ian check out my other article until i come up with more videos on how to handle the fear of public speaking and anxiety in public speaking
Thank you. i had a public presentation couple of week ago, and with a lot of preparation and practice i was able to make it without a lot of nervousness. i chewed gum so i don't know if that helped :)
Congratulations on conquering your fear. To be honest with you i am always a bit nervous before any presentation. Most professionals are. So keep at it and I am sure you;ll get better and better. Godspeed.
Hi Omer can you explain how that effects you specifically. Congratulations on writing here also
Me too!! It’s always really bad at the beginning of any presentation for me. For me, I found that my anxiety gradually gets better as I continue and by the end I own the room.
Theres a difference being in the crowd because you are equal in attention within the group..When shes in front she separates and now becomes the center of attention
the difference between me and her is when i'm in front, i get nervous and i start shaking a lot
Vendrix Uther think of it like this, you think people can see you shaking but they can't. Try to not focus on yourself shaking. Just try to relax and think of how to outcome will be good. Then you'll get better over time
Hi Vendrix, see my reply to Gabriela :) also imagine yourself feeling confident before the presentation. See yourself as having completed your presentation successfully and people are happy to listen to you. Focus on them being happy not how they will think about you doing the presentation. Change your focus and it will change your outcome.
Ask yourself what are you telling yourself? What kind of self talk you have and then start changing it.
Just stop shaking and don't get nervous that's what I do ☝️😳
Me too
My fear is on another level I can’t even talk and I would choose death over going up front I don’t know what to do
Hey Sean Sweats, When you say on another level can you be a bit more clear? What do you associate speaking in public too? I see you do a lot of videos, maybe finding your strategy for doing online videos can help you get over your fear
If you would take death before talking in front of people that is not "fear", it likely eludes to you being unhappy in many areas, or having a mental issue. You should seek help if you mean what you say.
I'm in the same situation 😂
One really good point which I took from this video was that, we can do it. But it's just that we think we can't do it. I recently thought about how amazing it would be if I can practice presentations in a non judgemental area till I feel comfortable, but not feeling comfortable doesn't mean I can't do it. It's just us over thinking... we can physically and mentally do it but we just over think over things. And also, in the crowd we are not presenting in front of hundreds of ourselves who our constantly judging every mistake. just normal people, who would like to see you do well and don't really care much if you do mess up. I did absolutely terrible for 2 years in college when I presented. and I mean I nervously spoke, my voice shaked and everyone would just look at me and they would feel akward too I could tell. even now I feel a bit nervous but I can speak clearly. I can present amazingly, it's just my mind over thinking. whether my mind becomes more positive or even more negative it doesn't change the fact that, I already can do it.
I've been doing a lot more presentations in grade 12, and so far, even though I've only done 4 out of maybe 9, I have made some progress. The first presentation, my voice was a little shaky, the second my voice was only shaky for a brief sentence in the end (mind you I only read a paragraph), the third presentation was the best one, my voice didn't shake at all and I was presenting by my self even while my powerpoint failed. The fourth one was a set back, but the presentation was on spot and I wasn't sure whether it counted. (I only had to say 2 sentences lol), but still my voice shook for the whole 2 sentences. And I have another one coming up, however, I know that when I PRACTICE everything feels slightly better.
OhhGrav congratulations on your progress and getting and taking the plunge. One thing I could add to help you out is to suggest that you only focus on how you can help the others. 1 or 50 people won't matter because you are focused on them so you forget about yourself. I used to be very shy and I do still get nervous a couple of minutes before I start but I know its because I don't want to offend anyone not because I think I won't deliver a certain way. Hope this helps, godspeed.
Great takeout OhhGrav ! To be honest with you I am usually nervous for the first couple of seconds beforehand and then I remember to stay focus on the others I am helping out instead of myself and it goes away immediately. Congrats on your evolution. i am sure you'll get better and better each time
He sounds like an interrogator. I would get more nervous from all the questioning.
ya...but the moderator helps her in the action, that's not the case with reality
Like this video.made me think in a different way. Took a public speaking class in college and we discuss the fear but not really ways to adress the fear except practice which is only a little part of the problem...
I love this video,I have a PowerPoint presentation this week and I'm freaking out so much this video helped me in a way that I'm slightly okey to present on Thursday here's hoping I can still get through it Wish me luck I'm seriously gonna need it
FishTacos are yummy how did it go?
Thank you for the great comment Fish Taco! I hope it did help you, give me a shout to tell me how it went. We are working at making another one that has more detailed instructionsto help people so I will keep you posted.
Congrats sorry my comment never appeared. Hope all went well
Alain Jean-Baptiste sir need your favour iam facing alot of trouble because iam not able to speak infront of people even when i meet starnger my heart start beating which decrease my confidence level .kindly help me to come out from trouble ..
Wow.. I need this..it's the freaking eyes that get me..
Excellent video...nicely done
Oh! This is a good video, I followed her body language just from tense to when she begun open up with her hands towards the end of the show, I am always like that when I have just begun to talk but it comes easy when I get in control of my body language. Amazing!
Thank you Birungi!
My main issue has always been peoples facial expressions. When it looks like people are disinterested (yawning, looking away, etc) it throws me off. Then I remember that I do that too and it helped me realize that although people don't always show it, they still may be engaged with you and that has helped me get better at public speaking in front of seemingly disinterested people.
Thank you!
very good for those who have stage frightness...
Thanks Asim :)
Glad I came across this video 😊 thank you!🙏🏽🙏🏽

I become afraid when i m before people . I m becoming nervous before them.
when i m about to give the speech my colour changes to red and i become nervous and forget that what i have to say
My problem is I go bright red and start sweating profusely. I did presentation recently. I . Everyone was asking me am I was ok after and saying I was so embarrassed. I was depressed all week. Hate having this disorder
Hi Sandy, well congratulations on being courageous enough to have tried it. . I understand how that can make you feel embarrassed. Take the time and rewind the event in your mind and ask yourself what is it your body was trying to communicate to you and that can help you for next time once you have addressed it.Thanks again for your question and godspeed
I think this man has the best remedy. This is really up front. Hes literally having a person come up and face it. All the other vids feel like bs advice. Just talk talk talk about this and that. Hey just do this and you ll magically not be nervous lol.
lol very true :) thank you
How do you overcome anxiety attacks & freezing even if reading aloud in class?
I am afraid of public speaking but one thing I realize is that in the course of presenting I get used it or it becomes normalized.
i sweat a lot just standing in the crowd
I get nervous even talking to 2-3 strangers. How do I overcome?
Thanks for your comment Rakeshstha. I will do another video on that shortly thank you for asking
Here is a blog post I just created which might help you for now. The website is being revamped for blogging so you should be seeing more posts soon to help you and others create more success.www.alainjeanbaptiste.com/conquer-fear-public-speaking-by-alain-jean-baptiste/
I can't even talk to my classmate
Talk to 1-2 strangers!
@@jeroen2901 I would suggest you read How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie which you can find on Amazon. That's what billionaire Warren Buffet used to help him out for his public speaking engagements and lose his fear of public speaking and his anxiety
What do you think taking antianxiety meds before a presentation? Would that be helpful to stop anxiety symptoms like shaking, sweating ect?
I think you should ask Doctor, Who gave them to you and about their side effects for your own body. It’s always best to do it without, but if you need them, then your family doctor with know.
I just get so nervous when I present to my classmates. I get nervous and anxious, my mouth gets dry, my voice becomes shaky, it's hard to breathe, I lose my breath and can't talk, I then wait like a couple of seconds to catch my breath then it even gets more akward and I become even more anxious.😢 Can anyone please help me!
Hey Youngboytoonice, one good way is to be prepared before and rehearse. I know it might be boring or you might not like to do it but it allows you to have much more control. If its classmates imagine that you would be presenting something to your team and make it friendly and fun. Focus on how you want to feel during the presentation. I use a lot of humor and caring depending on the presentation I have to give. Hope it helps and thanks for taking the time to better yourself
Bros I've had mine felt froze up there youngboytoonice when it my turn felt needed be personality change up there was required
When I go in front of other people and facing them my tear just suddenly fall off of my eyes.. 😥 how can I overcome this? 😭
What do you imagine before you start having tears Morning Star?
Hey man thanks for the videos, i get so nervous in front of people and the movement i begin to speak i start to stumble on every word that i speak why does it happen to me..what is wrong with me is there a solution ?
I experience the same even when i speak my native language
Hey Goutham thank you. First off nothing is wrong with you because of that :) Take a breath and focus on your message instead of the people. Remember yo have something important to say say it. The reason you stumble is because your focus is probably on "what will they think of me" which takes time for your brain to process at the same time its trying to deliver your speech. Remember your brain can only do one thing at a time. Keep me posted
Good feed back. I plan to use this as well. I'm here to get over my fear of public speaking. Thank You.
As I get on to stage my heart beating very fast.. I feel very nervous. Bcoz of this I forget the things as to what I have to say.. plz give me some guidelines as to how overcome it.
Hi Himani, do you rehearse before you go on stage? How much do you know the material you are presenting. Find out what do you focus on just before you get on stage and what are the beliefs you have about presenting your material. You can imagine yourself having succeeded before you go on stage and then go towards the you that have succeeded. Its a way to go beyond the anxiety. I am setting up a new studio for video production next month and will be doing videos on how to handle stage fright again and anxiety so stay tune.
It's an interesting video, but the specific technique that you used here is not clear to me. You linked the experience of public speaking to her daily work - a realm where she's effective and confident? In order to show her that there's a similar skill set and similar emotional pay off at play?
When I have to speak in front of an audience I get nervous. To the point of getting chills. My limbs start to shake, my brain gets foggy and I start fumbling over my words.
I agree that it’s something about dim or dark lights that helps
Ya public speaking is scary idk why it happens maybe i am to much in my head but i get sweaty nervousness anxious checks turn red an when i try to talk i stutter really bad to the point where you can't understand me and i just felt so embarrassed i had to walk out the class and i dropped the class i am trying to get over this fear because this happened when i was 19 now i am 26 with some life experience and i am taking public speaking in college but i am still scared shitless.
You may want t try some techniques to heal the young adult. stay courageous thought and keep practicing your skills. I used to be petrified in primary school and then I decided to face it full on.
I feel so nervous that I feel like I can't breathe. What I fear is people thinking that I can't speak proper English (not an English speaker) I fear being judged
Hi Anelisa, no one likes to be judged. From experience in doing public speaking in two different languages simultaneously with hundreds of people while being recorded, the thing I found best is to explain it to people and allow yourself to make jokes at the same time. Sometimes I laugh at my self and people find it funny. People will appreciate most of the time that you are trying their language. Thank you for your comment and dont forget to subscribe as I will make a video on this shortly so other people can benefit form it.
Hi Alain. Whenever I attend a meeting or an event that I need to speak up I will freak out and feel very nervous. Can you guide me on this? Thank you
Hi Mervin, so how much time before does that happen and what are you imagining just before you do your presentation?
@@AlainJeanBaptiste In my mind is thinking what people would think of me. I find it hard to control
even to talk to 1or 2 persons I'm so nervous that I will even forget what to say. I can't even stand on a stage of 5 persons, my body will be shaking.
I drop of school because of my extreme social anxiety...when i am around a lot of people i feel so sufficiented. My body feel pain and i can't wait to come home and get in my room and relax
Hello! Mr Alain. I have similar problem. In fact my is even worse. How can I overcome it, please?
Hi Mukhtar check out my website for more tips and strategies www.alainjeanbaptiste.com/deliver-amazing-presentations-win-audience/
Hi can you give me a bit more specifics and sorry for the delay as for some reason I just saw your comment now.
My anxiety goes from 0 to 100 as soon as I begin public speaking. The build up to the moment is panic. Sometimes on occasion I think I'll be ok but 10 seconds into it I start losing breath, voice shaking, anxiety at highest peak. Biggest problem is thinking about what I want to say while public speaking, it's almost like my mind goes blank and I can't express myself the way I intend, the words are just not there. I think it has a lot to do with people looking at me, seeing there eyes, and perhaps thinking negatively. A slight change in their facial expression that I might perceive as bad can induce it immediately. How can I work on this?
JojoJazzyDaddy OMMMGGG i FEEL you.... i guess for me its that and i START SWEEEAAATING ewwwwwww
@@WeLikeSATRDAYz ugh its rough lol
So I need so much help when it comes to public speaking. When I give presentations I have to do them in English which is a second language for me. I freak out, turn red, my voice breaks, my body shakes, and sometimes my eyes start to water a little bit which makes everything worse. If I have to give presentations in my native language I still have the same like “symptoms” but not so extreme. How can I get better??? please help
Hi Gabriela thanks for watching my video. One thing you can do since the representation is in another language is to visualize yourself saying it in that language first. This will allow you to practice in that language and correct it at the same time. once you have done it a couple of time and feel better than practice it out loud and imagine the people want to hear from you. Most times we imagine negative stuff and our body reacts to protect us. I will be honest with you, before every presentation, all great speakers feel nervous as they really care for people and like myself want to do an awesome job. So a little bit of stress is ok but remember that you have to imagine yourself succeeding before the presentation and that will help you feel more confident.
How much practice do you put before you have to do your presentation in either language?
The first time i talked on stage i shaked a lot!!! But 2nd time it wasn't that matter but still i feel nervous,anxiety help me brother
hi Joel israel, what was the difference between the first and second time? Find that out and it will help you towards the 3rd time. Between those two times must be something that helped you adapt.Thats what you need to bring to consciousness
I've a presentation in college on tuesday and I'm very scared and anxious about it. I'm scared that our professor won't be able to hear my voice when i speak because ever since my school days Whenever, I've to speak or present in front of my class i couldn't. I would start having panic attack and forget what I've to speak. And I'd always get told to speak louder since they can't hear me. Help me how can i speak loudly and clearly so that our professor and everyone in the class would be able to hear me?
Hey Kenny yyou need to project your voice is a technique you can do. Beforehand (like the day before if its not to late) Imagine that you are confident and that you are talking in a way in which your voice carries all the way to the back of the room. Forget the past focus on the future. Every presentation is different and a new one. Also practice your voice and if you can try to find an actors voice class in your area that will greatly help you. Here is a recent one I found on youtube for you. National Theatre: Vocal Warm-Up - RUclips
ruclips.net/video/CFXqyl4C1J4/видео.html. Hope this helps. Remember practice makes perfect :). Godspeed
When i spek even with too people nd it was a serios topic so my heart beat is too fast to much my hands are shvering and my voice plz give me solution ds fear just destroy my life and i also forgot tings
Try controlling your breathing so that you can calm your heart down. Allow yourself to think about what you want to say to the person instead of maybe thinking about how they view you. I beleive that if you work on your breathing like some people do when they are extremely nervous do it will help a bit more for you to stay in control and be more confident.
I get so much nervous, my leg shakes so much i just stuck their and my heart beat so much fast and i feel sweat . I dont know what to do as i want to speak front of public.
Hi Mussarat. One thing you can do before is know your material perfectly well. Another thing you can do is control your breathing and imagine in your mind that you are presenting in front of a couple of friends then imagine a bigger number of people. You can call me for one on one coaching if you really want to do public speaking. Try this for starts and get back to me and I can see if I can give you more feedback from what you started with.
@@AlainJeanBaptiste thank you so much very kind of you . I will contact .thanks again
ok
How about the person who was great at public speaking. Then he or she had personal Issue. It made him or her lost confidence. Then he or she can't gain it back?
You can always contact me for a consult. It would depend on the issue and the "anchor" that was created from the event. I hope this helps. My email is admin@keepusinmind.com.
Just thought of another thing that could help you Sansan, Find out what is it precisely you lost confidence about and the look at what would you need to be able to rely on that again. Hope this helps
It was a superb video ..... but i want some tips with which i shall overcome my fear before public....
Hi Lone, check out the link on my website that might give you some more tips.
Hey Lone we are heading to the studio to give more tools and techniques in the next week or so. Why you tell me specifically how you become afraid and i will see how I can create a small video to help you out. Also, remember to check the link for my blog. we are looking at maybe doing a live presentation via skype or recorded one so i will keep everyone here up to date.

Im from philipines im so nervuos in my presntation ,!
Asking how to overcome it,?
Hi Renlie, are you nervous during or before the presentation?
Oh yes ! Just like my world is so nigative,, i dont know what to do,
Renlie Escleo same:(
Hi can you expand on that. I am not sure I understand. You should check out my blog maybe it can help you a bit more.
I think he shouldve chose someone with real bad anxiety and see how that goes. Someone worse then her, mumbling, shaking etc to see what happens. Great video. 😁
Thank you Christian, for your great feedback. I will take you up on that :). Now that my new studio is up and running and my program on reality creation is almost complete. I will ask someone with more anxiety if they can come to my studio and do a demonstration with me. Great idea I love! I can't guarantee it will be under 12 minutes but hey if it can be done that will show more possibilities for success.
When I'm on stage my hands always start trembling. How do I stop that?
Hi Just another Otaku, I would control my breathing before and also what is it that you are thinking about when you are on stage? What are you focusing on? That will give you a clue. Find out the change your focus and that should help
Alain Jean-Baptiste I always want to give people the best of me. I want to show them what I have worked hard for so long so that everyone will be happy. I can tell myself that I've done a great job and the audience will enjoy themselves. I really want everyone to be happy like that but I always find myself thinking that if I go on stage I'll only diassapoint them. I really want to change these thoughts but I just can't!
Please tell me how to stop my hand from shaking while speaking with mike
Hi Jenny one of the best strategies to use is to control your breathing and focus on your subject not the crowd. This way you will lower the fact that you are judging yourself and you will be focused on them not you. Hope this helps thanks for your question
@@AlainJeanBaptiste thank you
There's a difference between the traditional anxiety associated with public speaking and the current nervousness that has a definite sexual undertone, especially among females and it presents itself with increased hand gestures and double entendres. These two actions seem to be done unconsciously, but conscious awareness of the action seems to occur shortly afterward, creating a nervous "sleep"-wake-"sleep"-wake cycle, until it becomes a mostly "sleep" cycle which continues until the climax of the speech. There is mass hypnosis going on. Wake up to this and then wake up as many as you can because there is a sinister element to this that we may never become aware of. I also notice that whoever has kept their mind focused on important things other than sex tend to do well when publicly speaking. So we all need to wake up and clear our minds. Or we will degenerate into an animal that has no conscience.
Spot on man! I also believe the same thing. I feel like it is a "public secret" that people who are good at public speaking have figured out on their own. Family men/women are very calm people in general, because there's no existential sexual dread in their mind. When I drop all aspects of sexuality in my mind I become very calm in public or in conversations (I'm a single male)
I came to this conclusion after experimenting and analysing what goes through my mind and how I feel and act during different mental attitudes I have. I have a more complex explanation, but this suffices.
It has to do with how you interpret the situation and how you act in it (in a sense you choose a "role")
I sweat alot when I'm nervous, for me it's not about the shaking it's just SWEAT
How do I overcome it?
Hi Pursenba, There are a couple of things you can do to minimize this as it is physiological. One is to wear and undershirt or t-shirt under that does not show. You can wear a jacket or a suit that will also hide it. Make sure to wear antiperspirant or deodorant. I have often seen people bring a gym towel and wipe themselves up a bit bit for as they sweated a lot. I remember doin a commercial once and I had to use a steamer to get my sweat out and a dryer so you have to be creative sometimes also. Hope this helps and remember to subscribe as I think I might just do a video on this that could be cool to watch. Thanks for the question and Godspeed
Im really get nervous when on pubic speaking.. Now im afraid of shaky voice in interviews as well.. help me to get rid😢
Hi Ishak, please read the latest comments I posted to help you with a technique on calming yourself. Another thing you can do is ask yourself what is making my voice shake. Do I shake before or during? Ask yourself what am I telling myself or what are my beliefs about this interview. Again i must admit during interviews I am nervous myself. One thing I have learned by taking up acting classes (So I can get better on cam:)) is that you can't please everyone and as they say in modeling if they don't take you it's not because of you its because they are looking for something specific and your simply not it. This allows you to take it as feedback. Just remember that you have worth and that someone will eventually recognize it through synchronicity and get you to that place you are looking to be in. Hope you subscribed and hope this helps. Godspeed
I don't know if I can coz its all about what the people think about you
Then if you imagine then thinking bad about you start reversing that to people listening to you, allowing themselves to learn and then cheering you. Start in your mind first
Does nobody speak faster n loud when they r afraid ? its the case for me my heart runs mile and i even dont understand what i speak its so fast n pitched whay to do
Hi Barsha, I can say from personal experience that I do. Especially when I speak French for some reason. I suggest you first calm yourself by doing a gentle meditation or I use a small mantra to help me pace myself before I go on stage. I admit I ALWAYS get nervous before I get on stage. The reason being I don't know everyone I used to be afraid of failing. Then I started listening to my emotional self first and then calm down and view every speaking engagement as feedback to make it better the next time. You learn how to "Work the Crowd" is what I call it. I will be doing new videos on this in the next few weeks so watch for them as my new studio is up and running. please subscribe if you have not yet and go to www.alainjeanbaptiste.com/conquer-fear-public-speaking-by-alain-jean-baptiste/ to get more techniques and tips. thanks again for your comment
I feel like i can't see or hear last time tried to gave speach at school...the most embarrassing day of my life. Now i work jobs that doesn't really intersect with people and i take 3 shift which means no a lot of people around. Very sad

Hi Piyush, what kind of help are you looking for specifically?
Alain Jean-Baptiste sir i am afraid of public speaking very much my body starts shaking and my voice blocks pls help me what can i do
Mine is I get nervous it seems that I am panicking and my whole body are shaking. That is why when I have a class presentation I prefer not to hold any paper or books something that I need to read so they won't notice that Im shaking.
Hey AB thanks for your comment. I just uploaded a new video that can help you with dealing with stress and anxiety. cHeck it out here its called: "Get Rid of Your Anxiety Under 5 Minutes - 3 Step Process Technique To Use Before Public Speaking" @. Hope it helps keep courage and yo'll get better at it.
@@AlainJeanBaptiste thanks🙂
I just hav stage phobia... I just cant control although i want to control... My hands legs really shiver badly... That looks so akward... :(
Hey Kiran. 10 Control your breathing. 2) Change your state by changing the images in your mind. If its like a phobia it means your imagining something that is most probably big so make the image smaller. If you feel you are in it imagine being out of the image at first and then having control over it. I would start remembering when you were truly confident about something and then bringing that feeling in that image of you presenting up front then imagining that you are going to do the presentation. I hope this helps for now.
It took me 3 minutes to even notice the echo
I fear public speaking so much that I wouldnt have volunteered at the first place
I was never scared of public speaking but once I messed up in a presentation and I've been scared ever since my voice shakes so much and I start losing my focus and my worries start getting the best of me
Hi Suh, actually thats called and anchor. Its similar to trauma and so that is probably why you felt that way when you were in a similar environment.Thanks for writing
@@AlainJeanBaptiste thanks man hopefully I get rid of it someday
@@joelariza8182 Your welcome ! I am making more videos and they should be ready soon so hope you subscribed to get them when they come out.
I got nervous just by watching this
This woman does not have a fear of public speaking. She went right up front and spoke in front of the group with no sign of panic or distress. She is just a little shy.
Keep up the good work!!!!!
Subscribe to his channel( I did) Excellent skills!!!
Thank you Macbarbie. Check out my new videos daily on my Facebook page. business.facebook.com/psychicmediumalainjeanbaptiste/?business_id=911459692212065
Le me know if there are any other techniques you would love for me to create for you
This clearly was helpful to her, but to say that she lost her public speaking fear is simply not true. Most people would report that they have "public speaking fear" and yet they still are able to do it when it's necessary. This was just the beggining of one session... I know NLP practictioners love to say that they "instant cured" people, but this is simply not true. First, what there was to cure anyway? Public speaking anxiety is quite the norm. She didn't lost it, she just started to see it in a different way, which can be helpful...but as far as we can see in this video, she was just answering questions and for the nature of this situation, she was at least partially answering what she thought was expected.
Thanks Alexandre, in this case the woman now is able to give other public speaking conferences for her work. We have kept in touch with her after the 3 day training on NLP Persuasion and influence IN MIND which was the course this was taken from. She was not able to do that before. Your point about being cured is good as it used more for the explanation instead of using the term as we would use it for an illness. Thanks for your comment and also for taking the time to see the video.
I would be relaxed too sipping a little merlot...
LOL
who is this teacher ?
name?
Its me :) Alain Jean-Baptiste
Alain Jean Baptiste :)
I can't even sit without sweating shaking and my face so red ugh even my accent change completely
Hey x0x x0x don't be so hard on yourself. Honestly view this as a way for your body to tell you that it's afraid, find out about how it is afraid by asking it what its trying to communicate to you and that should start helping you cope with that emotional self which is probably terrified. Once you know you can ask that part of you to start realizing that like riding a bike if it falls down sometimes it will get back up and ultimately start riding :) hope this helps
Thank you so much
I think she's pilipino
THIS MAN so what?
Thoug the girl is nervous still acting oversmart
U t rite but ur joking with her talking so dats fn
The lady is not even that sensitive, wrong candidate, people who suffer from fear can not even stand in front of public, they might start shaking or feeling wierd, ..
Uhhhhh under 12 mins is not that help full.maybe a little less time would be more use full
I got zero benefit from this video
Really? She overcame her fear of public speaking? In under 12 minutes? Total click-bait. Disappointing.
Hey Steve, thanks for commenting. I am not sure what clickbait means but this was filmed live during a weekend training. If you look up NLP technique I am sure you can find many examples when people lose their phobias under 15 minutes. Hope this helps
Alain Jean-Baptiste that may be true, but this woman did not lose her fear in this video. The title and the content are misleading. “Clickbait” is when the title of a video does not truthfully reflect the actual video content. I believe that to be the case for this video. I’m familiar with NLP. I’ve also been a presentation skills trainer and coach for over 15 years. These types of videos do a disservice to our industry. I’m sure you do a lot of good work. I just found this video to be misleading and/or dishonest.
Thanks for your clarification and feedback Steve. The title was more to show people to keep possibilities in mind and that it can be done in a short period of time. I will be creating more of videos soon. Our next video will be more of a step by step approach as I get more familiar with how to properly present things on RUclips.
