I get so nervous during speeches and class presentations. If i have a presentation tomorrow, i start rehearsing my speech in my mind and my heart already starts beating like crazy. Like i am at home, the presentation is tomorrow, and i am trembling with fear already :(
one great tip : start teaching primary school children just for a short period 3 4 once in your life eg after finishing college. this will boost your confidence and will perform best in your interviews and office presentations. think about it and try this out . lifetime experience.
Every time I try and learn techniques to reduce my anxiety about public speaking, it makes me really anxious and I feel my heart start beating faster. What even man.
It has to change over time and on its own. These tips are just listing the main reason people are nervous and what you can do to relax and to distract you from what you're nervous about. The fear will disappear over time.
I did a presentation in college today and it was my real first successful presentation. I have had presentations in the past where I have had a panic attack prior to the presentation and my voice would shake. Just tell yourself that your going to do great and believe it. Also practice, practice, and practice. Knowing your material and what your going to say at all times will increase your confidence. When I went up my heart was pounding, I took a minute to calm myself then I started. Introduce yourself and try to make your presentation as funny as possible, when you get your classmates to laugh it is a lot easier. When you get going the anxiety goes away and it's super easy, it's just like having a conversation with your classmates! Hope I can help
Hi @MrDragonOG, I noticed you have personal tips to overcoming public speaking anxieties. I am interested in hearing more about your experiences relating to public speaking and/or any anxieties you may still currently face. I’m looking to interview individuals (purely for my own research) to help me build a new workshop I’m working on. It would mean the world to me if we could hop on a quick call and I could ask you a few questions. OR if you know of someone who fits this description, please tag them below/introduce me. Feel free to tag me with a reply if you’re interested :) Super appreciate your shared insights in advance.
In my opinion, I have the fear of speaking because sometimes people stare at me and I get nervous or I can't express correctly a word in English and I know I'm making a mistake. I am going to apply the first tip because imagining that I am doing well, that I can finish speaking correctly, helps me to relax and not worry about the people around me.
+SuperIgaa Oh yes. That's what happened to me when I had to teach a group of chemistry freshman students in grad school. In fact, not only was I quivering as if I was freezing, I was sweating as if I was in a sauna. Now and somewhat contrary to the video above, I often advise my students to make direct eye contact ONE PERSON AT A TIME. We are comfortable when conversing with our friends. Our voice doesn't quiver nor do we have any problems in conversations. However, when we are speaking in front of a group of people, most of us are focused on and we present to the entire group. By making eye contact and conversing with rather than presenting to one individual, then another, and so on, we focus on only one person at a time. Your voice may still quiver. That's perfectly acceptable and the more you speak, the less your voice will quiver. Remember also, those in your audience may feel and do worse than you :)
I love my class they always cheer for me as my teacher forces me to come saying I have nothing to be afraid of. I love reading what I care about and sharing my views. In the end I have social anxiety and now I'm convinced it will never go away it's a part of who I am all these videos, the encouragement, my passion for it none of it is enough. My body gets shaky so does my voice I lose my voice and I basically look at my feet with my back to the walk try to hideaway from the world I've worked hard to try to stop this. I've give more speeches this year than all my life u see improvement but not enough to be convinced it will go away.
@@user-vx2ur4vw3h God is always cheering for you, be blessed Joshua 1:6 “Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which i aware unto their fathers to give them.” 💗
I’m happy u have people that cheer for u. I don’t and bro, I get the WORST PANIC ATTACKS. Like, at that point, idk what’s worse. A heart attack or how fast my heart beats during presentations
Good tips from Mr Cohen. As a toastmaster public speaker for 15 years, I can add that you must keep practising speaking and record yourself every time to see how you are doing.
The majority of fear factors in public speaking is that you think the audience is an entity, as a whole. A monster that will judge you and you need to impress. However you are dine talking to a friend. To your mom. To your spouse. To your mirror in your room. Cut down the audience to what it actually is. Many one to one conversations where nobody cuts you off or judges you. Speak to a friend, not to the “audience”.
In college when I was to do my presentation,that was my first time.i couldn't even look at my audience straight away.but a time came that I built myself in the area where 1.i have to use my friends to help myself 2.all so talk to myself in the mirror.i think that really helped me😊❤
EFL_ In my opinion I have the fear of speaking because I am afraid of going blank in public, afraid of making a mistake, I am afraid of not knowing an answer that they do to me and not knowing how to answer it. I am going to apply the 1st tip because He taught me that I always have to have personality in demanding myself to be more responsible, and have confidence in myself, security.
This is great! Visualization and relaxation techniques (never heard of the 't-repeater' before) are two I haven't used much before. But the camera technique is something I've done for AGES. Thank you so much for the value you created!
Im a shy person and i find it soo hard to maintain eye contact not only with the outsider but with my relatives too 😢.....speaking in public is my nightmare 😮 I wish i can overcome this one day
I could speak infront of 4 People in my class and my bones start shaking along with my jaw and my accent comes out and i sound like a kid with the terminology i use when im nervous i hate this
I get really nervous and my heart starts beating fast but I still present pretty well & ive gotten better. all I need to do is be really prepared so I feel a little more confident and I remember everyone gets nervous and some get even more nervous than me lol
I got accepted into a theatre play this week and we had stage rehearsal just today. I was extremely nervous and shaking my leg the entire time while acting on stage. I remember improvising my lines alot cause i kept forgetting them. I hope this helps
EFL_ In my opinion, I am afraid of speaking in public because I am a little shy about it and I get very nervous when speaking in front of people, I even forget what to say and I can feel uncomfortable. In general the tips you give us are very good but the one I would apply is about the relaxation technique to be able to speak calmly in front of people and feel more confident.
thanks for the tips! I like what you said about joy. These days we are inundated with speakers whether on you tube , webinars or lives classes. When someone's sense of"Why" and "Joy is is not intact in their speaking it sure can be hard to take in the message .... Another tip for releasing anxiety is pausing after the exhale, This will activate the parasympathetic nervous system to help your students get out of that fight or flight they may be in.. Wishing you the best at Harvard!
I'm the type of person that if I do it so many times over and over again, it will become natural and I won't be scared of it anymore. Tomorrow is the last day of school and I have to give an opening prayer, and I'm nervous but relieved at the same time, because I know it's one step closer to overcoming my fear. Sometimes I like to think that talking in front of an audience or small crowd is exactly the same as talking to a group of friends or just even one individual. I've been practicing my prayer all day today, and we actually practiced as a class too. When I had to recite my speech for the rehearsal, I did it better than I thought because it was totally unexpected and edited too, so some parts i had never seen before. But honestly, I want all stress and worry to go away because tomorrow is the last day of school, and nobody really cares if I mess up because they're itching to get out as much as I to finish my prayer. My get-through thoughts are, when you open your eyes again, it will be over and your future self will be happy with the results. I know this doesn't make any sense but I'm just ranting to become more positive.
How to overcome my fear of public speaking? I started to experience anxiety attacks, a racing heart, and feelings of nausea so intense that I avoided it for years. It seeped into every aspect of my life, making it impossible to function normally.
I can speak in front of the whole world if I wanted. The thing I fear is sharing my work in a school presentation. You're whole class sees what you learned and how smart you are. Humiliating.
I always sweat but this one class, I sweat and get nervous so much up front of everyone I just pause and freeze in awkward silence and it's like sometimes my voice cracks but it is me getting nervous.
this is how scared i am of public speaking i would rather go sky diving without a professional on my back than to do just one presentation. i hate it.......period.
Seeing how people fear public speaking makes me realize how lucky I am since I am NOT interested in a career which involves it. I want to be archivist or librarian
In a few days i have to say a limerick in front of the class, in english wich is not my primary language but the second language i learned. I know im good in english, im the best in my class but i still hate speaking outloud and fear it. We have to pick one limerick and learn it by heart, then say it outloud on thursday.
EFL_ In my opinion I am scared to speak in public because I am shy and I do not like being looked at directly when exposing in front of an audience, they make me nervous for that reason. I would like to apply the third practice tip since it would be easier for me when I present it, I would already know what I am going to do and say for sure, that would help me a lot with my nerves.
I really get nervous and my hands start to shake ans my heart beats at 1000 pumps pee min. This palpitation causes me to stutter. I don't know what to do
I know it's shitty advice but try to make urself comfortable do whatever u gotta do I had the same symptoms minus the heart beat and I would drip full of sweat and shake like crazy(it was so embarrassing), just tell ur teacher or the crowd ask them to close their eyes for a few seconds or take a second to breath don't be shy and over think it that'll make everything worse,I was did and always regretted it it's not as scary as u make it out to be they all have to give a presentation to
wow watching this somewhat helped me, but i start school in less then a week and im just so anxious about it even thinking about it now gets me nervous 😒 but my theory is i need to start now and improve so i can get better at it, really all that it is, is we over think it and we go on and on worrying about it so we get ourselves all worked up and never try will all be fine nothings gonna happen to us nothing ever does! its just a anxious panic attack and it always passes.. thank god it does🙏and once its over its over.
EFL_ In my opinion, I would not know what to say about that fear because I am not afraid to speak in public, but I think that the best strategy to overcome this fear is the visualization that we are achieving something, that is to say that we are successful.
EFL_Well, it is difficult to speak in public since we fear what other people will say, how they judge or criticize us. The recommendations given in the video are very good because if we put them into practice it would help us a lot, especially to breathe deeply and stay calm.
Hi, Maria. I would love to hear more about your experiences relating to public speaking and/or any anxieties you may still currently face.

EFL_3INF in my opinion I have troblems to talk for 2 reasons: 1. My personality; I'm shy, I feel more comfortable in situations that I can control, in small groups. I get nervous if it doesn't. 2. I feel like I lack vocabulary. I am going to carry out the first advice, because it is easier (for me)
Good advice. If you know how you will start your presentation and how you will conclude it the pressure that creates our fear of speaking is greatly reduced.
EFL_ In my opinion, I am afraid to speak because there are certain words that I can't pronounce, or I am afraid of confusing certain words with their pronunciation. I am going to apply the 3rd tip 'PRACTICE' because it is one of the best options and as the saying goes 'PRACTICE MAKES THE TEACHER'.
These tips are helpful I think and yet approach 'public speaking' from the current context or received awareness of what is expected or assumptions of how to do something. It's a have do be world out there....and our behaviour is informed by it....like a shaking voice...etc....Just like these tips are doing they are asking you to have or aquire certain 'things' to do so that you can be a better speaker. My work begins with creating a new paradigm or context around speaking and asks the question who do you need to be and allow the beingness to inform your behaviour so that you can have yourself be recieved as the speaker you need to be...more of a be do have world. Uncertainty creates fear and the resultant behaviour is survival based which creates a challenge and also beliefs. A beleif is the meaning given to a meaningless event....fascianting subject and thanks for the video!
EFL_In my opinion, I am afraid of making a mistake and saying a wrong phrase or a wrong word and that it will be misinterpreted the advice i would do is to calm down and speak ver slowly and pronounce the words well
Thanks. Good diction. The gift of speech is one of the greatest gifts we received. Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of Lights. The best one is the Living Word Which became flesh and died for us that we might have everlasting life. We can hear Him speak whenever we wait on Him. Blessings
What happens to me is I read so fast because I'm trying to get done as fast as possible and I run out of breathe and I can't breathe because I'm so nervous so i know just sitting there trying to force myself to read but I can't because I'm worried about not messing up again and what people are thinking about me
EFL_It's hard for me to speak in public, because I think every person is making fun of me, and that makes me nervous, and what makes me scared and unable to say things right, I'll take into account all the tips to be able to do better.
EFL_ In my opinion, I am afraid of speaking in public, because my personality is very reserved, since I like spaces with few people, also the uncertainty about what people will think of me or what I will say, especially because I do not I speak English fluently, and that is difficult for me. I am going to apply the second tip on relaxation techniques, because it would help me calm down in exhibition situations. I would also like to apply the "practice" technique, because it would prepare me to give my presentation, that way, I can express myself better and give a better presentation.
just had to do an introduction speech today in my Oral Communications class in college. I was so nervous walking up I couldnt even hear myself think, but once I started, it got easier as I went on. Even ended up with a few laughs. I think the biggest part about public speaking is just getting used to it.
I am really afraid of giving public speech because I am cross-eyed. I cant look people in the eyes because I am so afraid that they will notice my damaged eyes. I´m so ashamed and dont know what to do. I have to start teaching at university next week and I really dont know how I am going to survive this.
EFL_ In my opinion I have the fear of speaking in socail circles where I don't feel comfortable because muy personality is shy and also I have that level of uncertainty as to whether what I have said will be right or wrong and prefer to reserve my answer. I am going to apply the third category because in the video talk about the practice in a mirror for to lose the fear and adapt. Also I will use the visualization of what I will say later so as not to run out of ideas
EFL_ in my opinion i am afraid to speak in public because i feel that i mispronounce words and i am afraid to make mistakes. i will apply the first technique mentioned in the video because it helps you visualize that you will succeed.
EFL_ In my opinion what the video wants to tell us is that there are people who find it comfortable for an uncertainty of people to see it while talking or want to explain something and there are others who do not want to explain the video to us to relax and breathe to maintain calm for those who are afraid to speak in public.
A tip I would suggest if your not comfortable with public speaking is reading from a paper and looking over the audience, or looking at their forehead.
It is not so simple if one has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by parental cramming for the 11+ school selection exam. In particular terrifying cramming in maths at the age of eight where an incorrect answer would cause one's father to go berserk and throw armchairs around as easily as if they were tennis balls! It really boiled-down to a family feud with people who thought that they were all cock-of-the-walk just because they owned an Austin Seven (a British made cheap small car with a taxation rating of seven horsepower) In the end children were being used as weapons with my father taunting the car owner with "My kid is cleverer than your kid!" One day he did come home from work rather flushed and said "There, I've wiped the floor with him!" Whether he actually beat-up the car owner I'll never know but my father was extremely strong. The austerity years of the 1950s were not as rosy as some people think but I did pass the 11+ with flying colours after finishing the exam with half an hour to spare! The car-owners son failed miserably so I was given a ten shilling note (83 cents) as a reward! Unfortunately one cannot choose one's parents so one is stuck with what one is given. Take care!
EFL_ in my opinión,I am insecure about speaking in public because I do not know if I am pronouncing the words correctly or if I am wrong too much this makes me very insecure But the advice that I would apply is the visualization of that and also the power to practice a lot to improve
Really, i find keeping myself positive is very effective. If you think about being scared, and doing something stupid you are scaring your self. Your probably being a pessimist about presenting. Just be positive. And really if you stay positive it gives you more strength. Its 0.07% of your life, nothing at all.
+Plasmic lets say that u live for 100 years.. 0.07 times 100 years is 7 years. I really hope you didn't have a presentation that lasted for 7 years. xD
I really liked the video since it gives information that can help people who find it difficult to speak in front of an audience, and it gives strategies to be able to overcome that face and one of those techniques that I would like to put into practice is that of techniques relaxation as repeater t. 3 INFORMATICA
EFL In my opinion, I am afraid to speak in front of the public because I am afraid of making a mistake and that the people who are listening to me laugh, so it makes me feel bad and because I still do not master English well,...The advice that I would choose is practice because it seems to me a more effective way where I can practice with members of my family, also because I practice speaking and with that I become stronger so that I no longer have fear when speaking in public
EFL_In my opinion, I am afraid to speak because I am too insecure with my ideas, and I fear that people will judge me for being wrong and looking bad in front of the audience. I am going to apply the third piece of advice because I feel that it would make it easier for me since I have that problem in which I get nervous and scared when people look at me.

what's funny is i have to stream in a few hrs (ima twitch streamer if u wanna follow im elcryptix )

EFL_ In my opinion I am scared to speak in public because I am shy and I do not like being looked at directly when exposing in front of an audience, they make me nervous for that reason. I would like to apply the third practice tip since it would be easier for me when I present it, I would already know what I am going to do and say for sure, that would help me a lot with my nerves.
such a great resource for public speaking, thanks Steve!
I really get nervous and my hands start to shake ans my heart beats at 1000 pumps pee min. This palpitation causes me to stutter. I don't know what to do
I know it's shitty advice but try to make urself comfortable do whatever u gotta do I had the same symptoms minus the heart beat and I would drip full of sweat and shake like crazy(it was so embarrassing), just tell ur teacher or the crowd ask them to close their eyes for a few seconds or take a second to breath don't be shy and over think it that'll make everything worse,I was did and always regretted it it's not as scary as u make it out to be they all have to give a presentation to
wow watching this somewhat helped me, but i start school in less then a week and im just so anxious about it even thinking about it now gets me nervous 😒 but my theory is i need to start now and improve so i can get better at it, really all that it is, is we over think it and we go on and on worrying about it so we get ourselves all worked up and never try will all be fine nothings gonna happen to us nothing ever does! its just a anxious panic attack and it always passes.. thank god it does🙏and once its over its over.
EFL_ In my opinion, I would not know what to say about that fear because I am not afraid to speak in public, but I think that the best strategy to overcome this fear is the visualization that we are achieving something, that is to say that we are successful.
EFL_Well, it is difficult to speak in public since we fear what other people will say, how they judge or criticize us. The recommendations given in the video are very good because if we put them into practice it would help us a lot, especially to breathe deeply and stay calm.

Hi, Maria. I would love to hear more about your experiences relating to public speaking and/or any anxieties you may still currently face. I’m looking to interview individuals (purely for my own research) to help me build a new workshop I’m working on. It would mean the world to me if we could hop on a quick call and I could ask you a few questions. OR if you know of someone who fits this description, please tag them below/introduce me. Feel free to tag me here with a reply if you’re interested :) Super appreciate your shared insights in advance.
EFL_3INF in my opinion I have troblems to talk for 2 reasons:
1. My personality; I'm shy, I feel more comfortable in situations that I can control, in small groups. I get nervous if it doesn't.
2. I feel like I lack vocabulary.
I am going to carry out the first advice, because it is easier (for me)
This guy rules. Bravo.
Good advice. If you know how you will start your presentation and how you will conclude it the pressure that creates our fear of speaking is greatly reduced.
EFL_ In my opinion, I am afraid to speak because there are certain words that I can't pronounce, or I am afraid of confusing certain words with their pronunciation.
I am going to apply the 3rd tip 'PRACTICE' because it is one of the best options and as the saying goes 'PRACTICE MAKES THE TEACHER'.
Thank you so much for the helpful tips I give a public address in over 8 hours time!!
fantastic advice...thank you!
Thank you for sharing this -- especially speaking to the idea of being judged by the audience and that part of T-Repeater medication :D Bravo!
thank you
These tips are helpful I think and yet approach 'public speaking' from the current context or received awareness of what is expected or assumptions of how to do something. It's a have do be world out there....and our behaviour is informed by it....like a shaking voice...etc....Just like these tips are doing they are asking you to have or aquire certain 'things' to do so that you can be a better speaker. My work begins with creating a new paradigm or context around speaking and asks the question who do you need to be and allow the beingness to inform your behaviour so that you can have yourself be recieved as the speaker you need to be...more of a be do have world. Uncertainty creates fear and the resultant behaviour is survival based which creates a challenge and also beliefs. A beleif is the meaning given to a meaningless event....fascianting subject and thanks for the video!
EFL_In my opinion, I am afraid of making a mistake and saying a wrong phrase or a wrong word and that it will be misinterpreted the advice i would do is to calm down and speak ver slowly and pronounce the words well
Practice, practice and practice. If you know what you’re talking about - your smash it.
Thanks. Good diction. The gift of speech is one of the greatest gifts we received. Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of Lights. The best one is the Living Word Which became flesh and died for us that we might have everlasting life. We can hear Him speak whenever we wait on Him. Blessings
What happens to me is I read so fast because I'm trying to get done as fast as possible and I run out of breathe and I can't breathe because I'm so nervous so i know just sitting there trying to force myself to read but I can't because I'm worried about not messing up again and what people are thinking about me
EFL_It's hard for me to speak in public, because I think every person is making fun of me, and that makes me nervous, and what makes me scared and unable to say things right, I'll take into account all the tips to be able to do better.
Excellent. Solid suggestions.
EFL_ In my opinion, I am afraid of speaking in public, because my personality is very reserved, since I like spaces with few people, also the uncertainty about what people will think of me or what I will say, especially because I do not I speak English fluently, and that is difficult for me.
I am going to apply the second tip on relaxation techniques, because it would help me calm down in exhibition situations. I would also like to apply the "practice" technique, because it would prepare me to give my presentation, that way, I can express myself better and give a better presentation.
either me feel shy even when sir is takimg attendance .nd when its my turn n have to say present sir/mem ....
just had to do an introduction speech today in my Oral Communications class in college. I was so nervous walking up I couldnt even hear myself think, but once I started, it got easier as I went on. Even ended up with a few laughs. I think the biggest part about public speaking is just getting used to it.
Why are u taking an oral communications class if this is the case 😂 you’re just asking for a bad time
@@richpiana5045 Was 7 years ago lol. I believe it was a required credit in order to graduate.
thanks... really help me a lot.. (student form malaysian)
excellent advice. drove home the right point
I am really afraid of giving public speech because I am cross-eyed. I cant look people in the eyes because I am so afraid that they will notice my damaged eyes. I´m so ashamed and dont know what to do. I have to start teaching at university next week and I really dont know how I am going to survive this.
The reason why I’m watching this is because I want to be a actor when I grow up, but I don’t know how I ever will if I can’t public speak.
I am a Humss student so I need to improve my public speaking skills.
That was really helpful especially the practise technique.thank you.
EFL_ In my opinion I have the fear of speaking in socail circles where I don't feel comfortable because muy personality is shy and also I have that level of uncertainty as to whether what I have said will be right or wrong and prefer to reserve my answer. I am going to apply the third category because in the video talk about the practice in a mirror for to lose the fear and adapt. Also I will use the visualization of what I will say later so as not to run out of ideas
EFL_ in my opinion i am afraid to speak in public because i feel that i mispronounce words and i am afraid to make mistakes. i will apply the first technique mentioned in the video because it helps you visualize that you will succeed.
this help will me in speech talking.
EFL_ In my opinion what the video wants to tell us is that there are people who find it comfortable for an uncertainty of people to see it while talking or want to explain something and there are others who do not want to explain the video to us to relax and breathe to maintain calm for those who are afraid to speak in public.
Very well said and great tips!
He was so right about the staring thing.
I am a very social person but I have still to overcome this one. I hate it!
Me too
A tip I would suggest if your not comfortable with public speaking is reading from a paper and looking over the audience, or looking at their forehead.
Fantastic info, thank you.
Thank you for you video.
EFL----In my opinion, the panic of speaking in public limits us to have good communication with other people
I have to do a presentation on Wednesday. Last day of school, last class of the year. :(
this was really helpful.thank you.
Is it better to take public speaking online, which means recording yourself?
These videos help alot
It is not so simple if one has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by parental cramming for the 11+ school selection exam. In particular terrifying cramming in maths at the age of eight where an incorrect answer would cause one's father to go berserk and throw armchairs around as easily as if they were tennis balls! It really boiled-down to a family feud with people who thought that they were all cock-of-the-walk just because they owned an Austin Seven (a British made cheap small car with a taxation rating of seven horsepower) In the end children were being used as weapons with my father taunting the car owner with "My kid is cleverer than your kid!" One day he did come home from work rather flushed and said "There, I've wiped the floor with him!" Whether he actually beat-up the car owner I'll never know but my father was extremely strong. The austerity years of the 1950s were not as rosy as some people think but I did pass the 11+ with flying colours after finishing the exam with half an hour to spare! The car-owners son failed miserably so I was given a ten shilling note (83 cents) as a reward! Unfortunately one cannot choose one's parents so one is stuck with what one is given. Take care!
Great Tips. Loved it.
This works for me. I can't speak in front of a group more than 10 people
EFL_ in my opinión,I am insecure about speaking in public because I do not know if I am pronouncing the words correctly or if I am wrong too much this makes me very insecure
But the advice that I would apply is the visualization of that and also the power to practice a lot to improve
THANKYOU!
Thanks, I'm really leaning but the problem is that it's like a it's attached to my soul
Really, i find keeping myself positive is very effective. If you think about being scared, and doing something stupid you are scaring your self.
Your probably being a pessimist about presenting.
Just be positive. And really if you stay positive it gives you more strength. Its 0.07% of your life, nothing at all.
+Plasmic lets say that u live for 100 years.. 0.07 times 100 years is 7 years. I really hope you didn't have a presentation that lasted for 7 years. xD
+Zharkan16 0.07% of 100 years is 0.07 years, or 25.55 days, which is still pretty long.
Jason TheDogCatcher oh ye, ur right. not my brightest moment :D
I really liked the video since it gives information that can help people who find it difficult to speak in front of an audience, and it gives strategies to be able to overcome that face and one of those techniques that I would like to put into practice is that of techniques relaxation as repeater t.

I get nervous when I on live group live call. I am wondering what about if you are speaking was a last minute thing?
I'm doing the Mizzou HS!
I’m so scared of public speaking, it’s keeping me from enrolling again to college
I don't think you ever do but you learn how to mask it.
EFL In my opinion, I am afraid to speak in front of the public because I am afraid of making a mistake and that the people who are listening to me laugh, so it makes me feel bad and because I still do not master English well,...The advice that I would choose is practice because it seems to me a more effective way where I can practice with members of my family, also because I practice speaking and with that I become stronger so that I no longer have fear when speaking in public
This video helps soooooooo much thx
EFL_In my opinion, I am afraid to speak because I am too insecure with my ideas, and I fear that people will judge me for being wrong and looking bad in front of the audience. I am going to apply the third piece of advice because I feel that it would make it easier for me since I have that problem in which I get nervous and scared when people look at me.
Hi, Orrala. I can relate… I would love to hear more about your experiences relating to public speaking and/or any anxieties you may still currently face.

It would mean the world to me if we could hop on a quick call and I could ask you a few questions. OR if you know of someone who fits this description, please tag them below/introduce me.
