I had a presentation in college today and it was my first successful presentation. I have had panic attacks prior to other presentations and my voice would shake/I would tear up. Just tell yourself you're tired of being afraid ;that you're going to do great and believe it. Think about how good it's you're going to feel when you succeed. Practice the words you're going to say weeks in advance so you have them basically memorized. Knowing what you're talking about will increase your confidence . I was calm while others were doing their bit when my name was called my heart started beating super fast. I waited a minute before I started so I could calm down. Introduce yourself and try to incorporate a joke to start your presentation, when your classmates are laughing it basically makes your anxiety disappear. While underway the anxiety just leaves, it gets super easy! make eye contact and it's just like you're having a conversation with your classmates. Thinking about the material and not about being judged helps. Hope I could help👍
Roy Rosell hey, tommorow i have a presentation, but today I realized 20, maybe 25 people arent nothing compared to what you did, thanks man.... Wish me luck.
I loved this speech!! I get so nervous when speaking in front of my class even simple stuff like being called on to answer a question and I really liked this speech
Roy, I teach speech at a High School in Kansas. I use this video as an inspiration for my students and they really like it (especially the comment about your girlfriend). Just wanted to let you know the speech is making a difference for some students.
HerpDerpMapleSerp ' So, speak openly in a classroom. It'll be a fear gone by all it takes is once..unless your voice is shaking for another reason. You need confidence, & to picture people in their undies, lol lol. I'm psychic, practice was my 1st thought for you :)
Im currently in a speech class and I thought that would help but I still get super super nervous :C I do need confidence hahaha and trust me I do practice but idk whats wrong with me !!! Sable Phoenix
HerpDerpMapleSerp ' It's good to talk of this, an outlet like being on line, talking to people who write to you back may be a safe/objective place, because what I'd want to discover is it's origin, in the meantime, I found in my own experience. .It was so stressful,anxiety to the max,when I read aloud, not knowing I'd have too but thereafter, I was able to talk in class not being anxious anymore! So, I hope that's going to work for you. there is a Toast Masters, I checked into it, I went to one ,but you have to wait until you get to speak, how long? Seemed like months. But again, I attended the one time & forget now how long the wait is. Did you seek a socil worker? I'm wondering if GROUP DYNAMICS WOULD HELP YOU TOO or a group of people that meet up to do this speaking ,that have similar issue, fear ..good luck SABLE
I loved your speech! Especially your technique joke, I died of laughter! I have social anxiety and the fear of public speaking and I'm only 14 at the moment. When giving speeches or presentations in class I'll shake, tremble, have a shaky voice and stutter...I'll have butterflies in my stomach the night before. I dread the feeling but you have inspired me to not only try and conquer my fear, but to also work hard and try my absolute best in my 4 remaining years of school as well as everything else I wish to accomplish... thank you and congratulations on your success!
Hey Roy Congratulations on your overcoming your issue with public speaking. You are a true legend and an inspiration to others including myself. Way to go brother!
I had to present for my English class and I broke down in tears at least two minutes in. I walked to the back of the class and told my teacher I could not continue, then everyone began clapping; their clapping made me feel even worse because I knew it was out of pity. I sat down and I continued to cry because my failure continuously replayed in my head; it was one of the worst days of my life thus far. There is a possibility that I am going to be valedictorian and I am terrified because I do not think I will be capable of giving a speech. This fear is imprisoning me and I just want to be set free.
Don't worry I fainted during a presentation last year and now every time I have a presentation I have anxiety about a week ahead of the presentation because I'm scared its going to happen again
Your not the only one, my first speech in public speaking that's about a person change you and that got to me and I began to cry. What made me cry was the speech I was giving was about my friend and I recently move, but I continued my speech with tears and sniffling when I was done everyone clapped. After that my second speech was a excess and having my final speech today. Don't worry, you'll get better, trust me I thought I wouldn't able to get through public speaking but I got it over with. All you need to do is practice taking deep breaths and calming yourself, facing your audience confidently. 😊
Kiki Burnside **I too was taken by surprise in an English college course called COMPOSITION I. I did not know the professor would have me read my short story aloud. I did not have to stand but had intense anxiety. I found that event made me overcome anxiety in the class; facing a large audience is possible now. 1st time showed me some buried issues. 2nd time was easy but it ought to been a red flag to seek talk counseling. .
What a great speech!! You've got an awesome sense of humor and true passion. Unbelievable that a guy deathly afraid of public speaking could light up a room like this. You're an inspiration.
Bravo, bravo, excellent. Very inspirational. You gave me a huge lump in my throat when you thanked your second mother. She must have been very special. You are a living testament that her efforts were golden.
I'm watching this video because I have a speech coming up next week and I'm nervous and I just wanted to have inspiration and somewhat ease my fear. I've been public speaking for a while but it doesn't remove or ease my fear so I always end up watching public speakers. Needless to say this was a great inspirational speech for me and I'll bear this speech in mind when I perform next week :)
I love your speech so much. I'm terrified of not only public speaking, but this journey that is higher education and beyond. Your short message gave me hope that things can and will be okay.
+Prince/Chief it went sooo well!! the first few seconds were tough but then I realized I could do it. I finally realized that everyone in my class have to do the same thing and that if I screw up its fine. there was actually a popular kid who was stuttering like crazy when he went up
@@ayeshacurry1396 when everyone is behaving the same as u, u feel more confident, I know that feeling very well. but sucking part is that everyone in my class has fuc** confidence that makes me more nervous
It didnt even look like you have fear of public speaking, great job... Now me, huh well i got a presentation to feel anxious about so i will try to picture you in my head while i give the presentation like a champ... Thanks :)
Kp 1 he is reading it. Any one can do that. In fact when I was in college the professor always told us when doing our presentation not to read it. But to do it from memory giving the audience eye contact. But I did not do what he said and read each presentation and it showed in my grade.
I totally relate on so much of what you said here, "of years and years of never quite being good enough", "of being so close to success yet failing miserably when it mattered most" and fear ruling over most of my life. I have not over come any of those yet, but you simply said what I needed to hear, "I can do it". Thank you. - Karen
Jeremy, thank you for your kind words. I know your pain, I've felt it my whole life; public speaking is terrifying. Just know that millions share your fear and that the fear we have is nothing more than a mental block. It's not warranted. Realize that virtually every time you present, you present to people who are equally terrified. I'm still afraid of public speaking, probably always will be. But I've learned to mask it and use the fear to my advantage and you will as well. Cheers friend.
This young man not only gives a wonderful speech ...one actually is inclined to believe,that he really means what he has to say,-and that is-by nowadays standards - a rarity. Well done and all the best to this man.
Thank you 2233golf2... It's been 3 years since I gave this speech and I can say that every word came straight from the heart. No fluff. Glad you enjoyed it. Best of luck to you.
I was in attendance when Roy gave his speech. Let me tell you this: This guy is one of my greatest friends I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. His speech was hilarious and awe-inspiring. Roy is proof that no matter the fear, so long as you continue to work as hard as you possibly can, you can overcome anything. Great work Roy, I love ya!
I too, had a fear of public speaking, but your motivational and inspiring speech took that fear of my own ''property". It made me glad that I, could say and do the things you said and did, maybe not as good, but I can work towards something and achieve becoming a better person. Thank You :)
Public speaking/presentations is very real. But I find that if you rehearse your speech or presentation long enough and you practically memorize everything, you don't get as nervous as reading over a speech for a few minutes. I remember I had to do a mere 2 minute presentation which I wrote and rehearsed for 10min and I was trembling over my words so much that most of what I was saying was undecipherable. But then I had a 20min lesson plan/proposal in had to do in front of roughly 40 people but this time I rehearsed it for almost an hour a day for 3 days before the presentation. Needless to say, I sounded very calm and composed since I knew exactly what I was going to say and how I was going to say it. TL;DR practise definitely makes perfect.
The speech came at an excellent time from me. After five tormenting years as a professional computer programmer, and having thankfully learned a ton, I am turning my career to teaching, and this is just what I needed to hear, a speech aimed at an audience entering into the uncertainty of a significant life transition. I was dealing with that fear as I woke up this morning, and now I'm just looking forward to being a great teacher. There is no vacancy for fear.
lol Im the same way you'd never know because I HAD to take SPEECH my last year of college ...lol...I kept changing my major so I would not have to face SPEECH class..however I had the VERY BEST teacher and she really helped me...Im proud of you!!
Hi ...I really can't go over this problem. Everytime I think I can overcome my fears, actually I'm everytime more scared than before. I really hate being like this...sometimes when I have to speak in front of my class I stop or I blush and everyone laugh at me. Now today I stayed home saying that I was sick when in reality i have to talk in front of my class. I really can't do this...I just would like to go away from here.
Painirene Sounds like a good case of Social Anxiety; this can be fixed. But, you need a guide. Because I held in my many events, it got me, came up all at once...so, you have a great life ahead, find a person you can talk too--I know its not fun facing things, but believe me, it's well worth it now, than to suffer for the rest of your life because you had avoided that.--SABLE
I really under stand where your coming from:( today I had to read infront of my class and I started blushing and becoming all stressed, then my voice started shaking I've been crying all night and it's only the first day back😭
The more you run away from the fear, the stronger it will get. The solution is to face it, which will make you realize you're stronger than you think. This is well known among psychologists. I suggest listening to Dr. Jordan Peterson if you're interested in learning the psychology behind facing fears.
Roy, you truly embody enthusiasm. You are so passionate and full of spirit, it's infectious! I would never guess you had any sort of fear of public speaking. Your speech flowed so seamlessly, you are a natural. So happy to have met you and that you've joined our team! You are so enthused about everything in your life - family, work, soccer, and most of all, FOOD, and your charisma is not only energizing, but inspiring and simply needed and much appreciated. Can't wait to see what you do next!
He's way better than me. My voice doesn't just shake, i can't stand still and i forget about everything that I'm talking about which makes me feel like shit
Roy! Congratulations! Mrs T-R shared the link with faculty at GHS. Your parents must be unbelievably proud - I look forward to hearing about this from your dad the next time I see him. You've really set the bar high for Pablo now!!
Roy, your speech honestly inspired me. I've always been afraid of public speaking. My job has somewhat helped considering that I have to speak to customers all the time. However, I still can't speak in front of people. I get red, upset stomach, and I twitch. I would take anything as long as I don't have to do a speech. But you have motivated me and I now know that it's just fear that I have to overcome just like anything else. Thanks so much. You are my hero and your speech was amazing!
Thankyou so much for this, you have the exact same fears as me, public speaking and spiders! My fear of Public speaking is slowly taking over my life and making me more and more nervous, I'll be sat in class terrified that my teacher is going to pick on me to read out my work or even answer a question. It's something that I really need to overcome and this video has given me so much hope, I can't believe you were able to do that! Thankyou so much for showing me that my fear can be beaten!
I loved the speech and even more how you stood on the podium and did everything from fixing your sash to fidgeting with papers but just stand there. Very much you Roy!
Roy, thank you for your words of wisdom, and congratulations on your successes! I am one who is terribly scared of public speaking. It doesn't matter if it's 10 people or 100 people, I am terrified. I dropped out of college years ago because I couldn't face the fear of public speaking. When I made the decision to go back 3 years ago, I was terrified, and reminded why I had quite to begin with, but I am still hanging in there! Seeing this video inspired me! Thank you, and good luck to you!
I've known you for a long time, Roy, and I'm proud to say that I'm your friend. Very well done, and cheers to a long and successful career, and most of all, to overcoming your fears.
Hi Roy, this Desiree (Ashley Mettille) Mom. Ashley just shared with me your Brilliant and heartfelt speak from your Graduation from Cal Poly. First let me Congratulate you on all your accomplishments, secondly as I listened to your speech it was difficult for me not to cry as your words and philosophy regarding life in the business world is identical to mine passed down from my parents. Ashley speaks so highly of you and I wish you all the very best, you're certainly an Inspiration!
A poignant speech that perfectly captures the essence of college; dealing with what makes you tremble, and converting it into your strong suit. Your merit as a student, an employee and as a family member comes not from external sources, but from the will to succeed and be a better person from the inside first. Thank you Roy! Your buddy Andre.
Well done! Am teaching year 1 presentation skills in Business School at the moment - and so many are really nervous in presentations. Will share your blog and example. Look forward to more blog posts. Good luck to you in your future career.
I also have the fear of public speaking and spiders. But unlike you i was never brave enough to overcome my fear of public speaking.Thank you for giving me more confidence in myself who knows maybe one day I'll finally overcome it.
Congratulations, Roy! Inspirational -- both your award and your speech. Your parents must be bursting with pride, as are those of us who knew you back at GHS. I have no doubt you will continue to inspire youth who feel they are "not quite good enough." You are young yet you already have a tremendous life story to tell. Adelante!
Well done Roy and congratulations on both the award and overcoming your fear of public speaking. Tremendous. I was drawn to what you have to say because of my work and focus which is just that; helping whose who are confined and resticted by fear to create for themselves a new relationship with thier natural self expression. What you have to say is very inspiring to hear and heart warming to take in. Thank you!
Even practicing by myself makes me shake, I feel like I'll burst into tears at any moment and when I take a second to calm myself down the tutor asks if I'm okay and then it's all down hill from there..
This is so awesome! as someone who is terrified of public speaking, this video really encouraged me. Love the speech!!! CONGRATS!! such an amazing award and accomplishment!
Congratulations Roy. Everything you do turns to gold. You are a positive, creative, genuine person. You leave us all feeling inspired and a bit more motivated. Thanks for giving us a wonderful project for CIS Senior Project and pushing us to think about the future. Fabulous speech. Dr. Guthrie
Good job, Roy. Great to see a kid like you graduating from Cal Poly Pomona. As I was not naturally smart I struggled through college but if you go to Mechanical Engineering Department, you will see my name as one of charter members of Pi Tau Sigma. I studied long hours hoping that one day I'll get more than 4 hours of sleep. Now I'm 68 still working hard from home as my kids spent all my money by going to Cornell and Northwestern. You will have ups and downs but have faith and keep going. God bless you.
John Yi, so wonderful to read your comment. It sounds like you've done some phenomenal things, and I'm proud to have gone to the same university that you've left such a great legacy with. Thank you for the kind comment
An amazing speech Roy!! Congratulations!! I am so proud of you and I can only imagine how proud your parents are. Wishing you continued success, happiness, and love - you definitely deserve it!!
Hey everyone, it's Roy (guy giving the speech up there). I just released my book recounting my journey to overcome my fear of public speaking. Here's the link: amzn.to/2GuGpm1 -Roy
Wow it was amazing!! You made me feel better about my public speaking fear. You also encourage me about that thwre oght be others better than me and I should give it a shot even when I might not have a minimum chance.I also would like to check out the university you went to.Can't wait to hear great things from you:)
It makes me very happy to hear the video inspired you and helped you realize things aren't nearly as bad as they seem. You made a great observation, what you are able to achieve and opportunities and challenges you take on really comes down to what you open yourself to doing, so defeating that fear (whether it's public speaking or anything else) opens you up to achieving anything you set yourself to. Best of luck to you, I know you will do great things. Roy
I'm a kid but your speech is making me older After hearing your speech it changes how I see the world Think you for inspiring me I have fear I have fear of public speaking end now I want to fix it to talk to my friends in school
I LOVE THIS SPEECH and you hahah I just emailed you through your website and I fear public speaking too teehee. I will conquer this fear and credits to you Roy ;)
Congratulations Roy! Solid speech and very positive! Keep sending this message!! There is nothing we cannot reach if we work hard and believe in our capacities! Good Job!
I found your speech to be endearing and encouraging: It was personal and appropriately humorous; it reflected the Roy Rosell I have come to know; and it echoed many things that are timeless truths that merit retelling. A good speaker should always be a bit nervous: It is a sign that you give a damn about what you say and whom you are addressing. That tinge of nervousness also creates a sense of empathy among the audience for the speaker because they become vested in your success or failure.
Roy, It's been a lot of fun working with you these last few years. Congratulations again! Degree: Bachelor of Science Confer Date: 03/22/2013 Plan: Business Administration Sub-Plan: International Business Option Sub-Plan: Marketing Management Option
Congrats Roy! Even though i haven't known you very long, i know you are a very hard working individual and extremely goal oriented. Above all you are a very wonderful person full of spirit which i know will get you to the top one day. Congratulations Roy and may god bless you on your new journey!
Im in college and in order to transfer to a 4 year university a speech class is required. This spring is my last semester at college and the last one to take that class. Just thinking about the class makes me so anxious that sometimes I cant sleep and when I do I have nightmares. My fear is not only speaking in public but also having an accent. I wasent born here in Usa so english is my second language. Im afraid that when giving my speeches people wont understand me because of my accent. And what if I pronounce wrong some words? I dont want to take this class :(
faby f WHAT IF YOU HAD NO VOICE AT ALL? GOD GAVE YOU ONE, BE PROUD OF YOUR ACCENT, PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER YOU---BE BLESSED, BECAUSE YOU ARE, INSECURITIES MAY BE A MANIFESTATION OF ANOTHER REASON...HMMM, do you think you're to heavy? Or, some self-conscious cause? Whatever it is, it can be defeated.--I KNOW IT CAN. . . hugs.
**Well, there you go :) wonderful & ought to tell you something good. Stop being so hard on yourself STAND UP TALL, be you, ^ enjoy your heritage, it's something nice to be happy about. (sorry about the comment having your name at the end, it takes a few tries to even post. Take care, good going! faby f
That was a good speech! you really stood out like a man killing for a trophy rising high and waiting for someone to take it! The speech was really golden (a lot more shiny than mines) and every word you spoken was very meaningful and speaking for success is a real skill to have. Success is a real goal nowadays and time as it is isn't how it looked before the Internet and video games were created and I think focusing too much on one thing can really break success over the other and you really can't do anything about it unless getting it taken care of so it gets balanced with it (and by that I'm referring to social networking and technology over businessing). That is something to focus on in life, especially for those who are struggling in school. I am going to be in highschool after the summer break so it will be a new chapter in life :/ the thing I will keep in mind is that homework will be a thing to expect so it will be a big kick in the ass throughout the school years and it all ends in 4 years! I am going to get my hands on the wheel and steer into the future because things will get crazy if I mess up shit :D
Roy outstanding speech! I am proud of you! Felicidades a ti y thus padres! You deserve it! Hope you decide to go for your graduate and/or doctorate degrees! Hasta la Victoria SIEMPRE, love Juan Pablo
That was so inspiring that now I'm looking for breathing exercises on RUclips. I could see that you were being yourself up there, and that you were comfortable portraying your message to the people watching. You give an excellent lesson and although I still rather wear those swim trunks, I hope to one day conquer my fears just as you did. Congratulations Roy un abrazo from me
I feel you litle nervous, but you handle well; maybe is the key: go for it, even if you feel litle insecure. I feel terrific writing essays, wow I say this is the real me, but speaking I feel blocked. I compare speaking with diving, water is hard and can cause pain if you don't enter well in water. With speech could be similar, inmersion in your theme like inmersion in water without loosing control. Very inspiring, I feel terrify in public speaking but is necessary I do it as a part of my life project, in order to trascend, contribute to world.
You got that right Rafael. You'll always have some fear. Fear is a fantastic thing if you have it under your control. As Dale Carnegie once said, "People who say they are as cool as a cucumber are as thick skinned as a cucumber and as inspiring as a cucumber.” Don't see fear as your enemy, rather, as a potential best friend. Once you work at controlling it, it'll serve as motivation as opposed to dread. Keep it up friend!
Hey good job there, well i am 23 years old and in university, i accepted jesus as my lord 6 month ago and got healed of evil addictions, i want to preach and warn ppl in my school so much but i lack confidence. I fear crowds and i dont have good communication skills i cant evn express myself sometimes. What should i do guyz?
I know that feeling too well. Believe it or not, not long before this speech I'd literally have sweaty palms and a pit in my stomach at the thought of being called on to answer a question in class. The worst part was that I thought I'd always feel that way but thank goodness I finally figured out how to get rid of it and I've never felt better about speaking publicly. Shoot me a message if you want to talk more.
Well done! I hope more for you than to say you will always fear it - what I hope for you is that you find confidence and a joy in public speaking, because you are so good and a natural. Lovely use of humour & so genuine and authentic. Both a fear of public speaking and a fear of spiders can be overcome by using SET (Simple Energy Techniques) a form of tapping. It is even better than imagining an audience naked! I can send you the info if you want it we have free youtube videos and articles on it
I can’t overcome with this public speech fear😢 what can I do ? It pushed me back everyday in my academic life even though I have excellent academic. Public speech kills me every time 😦
im the same i am scare of spiders or any bugs for the matter and public speaking, if i try to speak in public sometime my voice will run away. also im scare of heights and stairs (going down stairs or open stairs), these two may because of fear of falling, since i like roller-coaster and flying in aeroplanes, but i will not parachute out of plane even if it going and blow up. i used to be scare of the dark when i was little but i grown out of it.
****This is primary proof of the inner strength, we all possess. I don't have public speaking fears but, this is a definite inspiration for the areas of my life where I do lack or am weakened at some point. For Peace and overall Serenity, follow this link: If you're not interested, simply pass on to someone that you wholeheartedly care for. They will sincerely thank you for it. Peace and live well. Respectfully, DLF
Hi Rachel thank you! You're very right. And let me scratch out what I said in my last comment about always fearing it, I used the term a bit loosely there. What I meant is it will always make me nervous, it's not something i'm entirely comfortable with but for some reason or another, that nervousness makes giving a speech that much more exciting. I would love to check out an article on SET for my fear of spiders though ;)
Wow his a real inspira.. Oh wait let me just get the door. Fear? What the fuck are u doing here?? GET THE HELL OUT MY PROPERTY. As I was saying he's a real inspiration to all of us who has a fear of spiders.
I had a presentation in college today and it was my first successful presentation. I have had panic attacks prior to other presentations and my voice would shake/I would tear up. Just tell yourself you're tired of being afraid ;that you're going to do great and believe it. Think about how good it's you're going to feel when you succeed. Practice the words you're going to say weeks in advance so you have them basically memorized. Knowing what you're talking about will increase your confidence . I was calm while others were doing their bit when my name was called my heart started beating super fast. I waited a minute before I started so I could calm down. Introduce yourself and try to incorporate a joke to start your presentation, when your classmates are laughing it basically makes your anxiety disappear. While underway the anxiety just leaves, it gets super easy! make eye contact and it's just like you're having a conversation with your classmates. Thinking about the material and not about being judged helps. Hope I could help👍

Kiki Burnside **I too was taken by surprise in an English college course called COMPOSITION I. I did not know the professor would have me read my short story aloud. I did not have to stand but had intense anxiety. I found that event made me overcome anxiety in the class; facing a large audience is possible now. 1st time showed me some buried issues. 2nd time was easy but it ought to been a red flag to seek talk counseling. .

What a great speech!! You've got an awesome sense of humor and true passion. Unbelievable that a guy deathly afraid of public speaking could light up a room like this. You're an inspiration.
What a wonderful comment Jeffrey. Thank you so much for your kind words!
Bravo, bravo, excellent. Very inspirational. You gave me a huge lump in my throat when you thanked your second mother. She must have been very special. You are a living testament that her efforts were golden.
John, thank you for mentioning her, that means a lot. And thank you for the wonderful compliment. Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm watching this video because I have a speech coming up next week and I'm nervous and I just wanted to have inspiration and somewhat ease my fear. I've been public speaking for a while but it doesn't remove or ease my fear so I always end up watching public speakers. Needless to say this was a great inspirational speech for me and I'll bear this speech in mind when I perform next week :)
I love your speech so much. I'm terrified of not only public speaking, but this journey that is higher education and beyond. Your short message gave me hope that things can and will be okay.
I have to present tomorrow and I'm soooo scared! my heart races every time I think about it
+Freddie Mercury How was it?
+Prince/Chief it went sooo well!! the first few seconds were tough but then I realized I could do it. I finally realized that everyone in my class have to do the same thing and that if I screw up its fine. there was actually a popular kid who was stuttering like crazy when he went up
Freddie Mercury Good on you man, well done Glad to hear it bro!! :D
@@ayeshacurry1396 when everyone is behaving the same as u, u feel more confident, I know that feeling very well. but sucking part is that everyone in my class has fuc** confidence that makes me more nervous
It's not your fault, it's that damn devil, he makes you think over and over
It didnt even look like you have fear of public speaking, great job... Now me, huh well i got a presentation to feel anxious about so i will try to picture you in my head while i give the presentation like a champ... Thanks :)
Kp 1 he is reading it. Any one can do that. In fact when I was in college the professor always told us when doing our presentation not to read it. But to do it from memory giving the audience eye contact. But I did not do what he said and read each presentation and it showed in my grade.
I totally relate on so much of what you said here, "of years and years of never quite being good enough", "of being so close to success yet failing miserably when it mattered most" and fear ruling over most of my life. I have not over come any of those yet, but you simply said what I needed to hear, "I can do it". Thank you. - Karen
Jeremy, thank you for your kind words. I know your pain, I've felt it my whole life; public speaking is terrifying. Just know that millions share your fear and that the fear we have is nothing more than a mental block. It's not warranted. Realize that virtually every time you present, you present to people who are equally terrified. I'm still afraid of public speaking, probably always will be. But I've learned to mask it and use the fear to my advantage and you will as well. Cheers friend.
This young man not only gives a wonderful speech ...one actually is inclined to believe,that he really means what he has to say,-and that is-by nowadays standards - a rarity.
Well done and all the best to this man.
Thank you 2233golf2... It's been 3 years since I gave this speech and I can say that every word came straight from the heart. No fluff. Glad you enjoyed it. Best of luck to you.
I was in attendance when Roy gave his speech. Let me tell you this: This guy is one of my greatest friends I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. His speech was hilarious and awe-inspiring. Roy is proof that no matter the fear, so long as you continue to work as hard as you possibly can, you can overcome anything.
Great work Roy, I love ya!
I too, had a fear of public speaking, but your motivational and inspiring speech took that fear of my own ''property". It made me glad that I, could say and do the things you said and did, maybe not as good, but I can work towards something and achieve becoming a better person. Thank You :)
Public speaking/presentations is very real. But I find that if you rehearse your speech or presentation long enough and you practically memorize everything, you don't get as nervous as reading over a speech for a few minutes. I remember I had to do a mere 2 minute presentation which I wrote and rehearsed for 10min and I was trembling over my words so much that most of what I was saying was undecipherable. But then I had a 20min lesson plan/proposal in had to do in front of roughly 40 people but this time I rehearsed it for almost an hour a day for 3 days before the presentation. Needless to say, I sounded very calm and composed since I knew exactly what I was going to say and how I was going to say it. TL;DR practise definitely makes perfect.
The speech came at an excellent time from me. After five tormenting years as a professional computer programmer, and having thankfully learned a ton, I am turning my career to teaching, and this is just what I needed to hear, a speech aimed at an audience entering into the uncertainty of a significant life transition. I was dealing with that fear as I woke up this morning, and now I'm just looking forward to being a great teacher. There is no vacancy for fear.
This is one of the best speeches I have ever seen
this dude is the man! im gonna own my presentations just like he owned this one
lol Im the same way you'd never know because I HAD to take SPEECH my last year of college ...lol...I kept changing my major so I would not have to face SPEECH class..however I had the VERY BEST teacher and she really helped me...Im proud of you!!
Hi ...I really can't go over this problem. Everytime I think I can overcome my fears, actually I'm everytime more scared than before. I really hate being like this...sometimes when I have to speak in front of my class I stop or I blush and everyone laugh at me. Now today I stayed home saying that I was sick when in reality i have to talk in front of my class. I really can't do this...I just would like to go away from here.
Painirene Sounds like a good case of Social Anxiety; this can be fixed. But, you need a guide. Because I held in my many events, it got me, came up all at once...so, you have a great life ahead, find a person you can talk too--I know its not fun facing things, but believe me, it's well worth it now, than to suffer for the rest of your life because you had avoided that.--SABLE
Exactly same
I really under stand where your coming from:( today I had to read infront of my class and I started blushing and becoming all stressed, then my voice started shaking I've been crying all night and it's only the first day back😭
The more you run away from the fear, the stronger it will get. The solution is to face it, which will make you realize you're stronger than you think. This is well known among psychologists. I suggest listening to Dr. Jordan Peterson if you're interested in learning the psychology behind facing fears.
@@jamesjones3283 Don't give up...keep practicing and praying for God's help
Roy, you truly embody enthusiasm. You are so passionate and full of spirit, it's infectious! I would never guess you had any sort of fear of public speaking. Your speech flowed so seamlessly, you are a natural. So happy to have met you and that you've joined our team! You are so enthused about everything in your life - family, work, soccer, and most of all, FOOD, and your charisma is not only energizing, but inspiring and simply needed and much appreciated. Can't wait to see what you do next!
He's way better than me. My voice doesn't just shake, i can't stand still and i forget about everything that I'm talking about which makes me feel like shit
yeah me to , shaking voice , breathing problem , heart beating

Roy! Congratulations! Mrs T-R shared the link with faculty at GHS. Your parents must be unbelievably proud - I look forward to hearing about this from your dad the next time I see him. You've really set the bar high for Pablo now!!
Roy, your speech honestly inspired me. I've always been afraid of public speaking. My job has somewhat helped considering that I have to speak to customers all the time. However, I still can't speak in front of people. I get red, upset stomach, and I twitch. I would take anything as long as I don't have to do a speech. But you have motivated me and I now know that it's just fear that I have to overcome just like anything else. Thanks so much. You are my hero and your speech was amazing!
Thankyou so much for this, you have the exact same fears as me, public speaking and spiders! My fear of Public speaking is slowly taking over my life and making me more and more nervous, I'll be sat in class terrified that my teacher is going to pick on me to read out my work or even answer a question. It's something that I really need to overcome and this video has given me so much hope, I can't believe you were able to do that! Thankyou so much for showing me that my fear can be beaten!
You my friend are amazing and have a sense of humor that I really like! Keep talking!!
Ty, thank you! Appreciate the kind comment, thanks for watching
Hi Roy, Congratulations on an excellent speech. If you were nervous you didn't show it. And well done on the award, I'm sure it was richly deserved.
I love this bro. Inspirational. Public speaking is also my nightmare.
I loved the speech and even more how you stood on the podium and did everything from fixing your sash to fidgeting with papers but just stand there. Very much you Roy!
Roy, thank you for your words of wisdom, and congratulations on your successes! I am one who is terribly scared of public speaking. It doesn't matter if it's 10 people or 100 people, I am terrified. I dropped out of college years ago because I couldn't face the fear of public speaking. When I made the decision to go back 3 years ago, I was terrified, and reminded why I had quite to begin with, but I am still hanging in there! Seeing this video inspired me! Thank you, and good luck to you!
I've known you for a long time, Roy, and I'm proud to say that I'm your friend. Very well done, and cheers to a long and successful career, and most of all, to overcoming your fears.
Hi Roy, this Desiree (Ashley Mettille) Mom. Ashley just shared with me your Brilliant and heartfelt speak from your Graduation from Cal Poly. First let me Congratulate you on all your accomplishments, secondly as I listened to your speech it was difficult for me not to cry as your words and philosophy regarding life in the business world is identical to mine passed down from my parents. Ashley speaks so highly of you and I wish you all the very best, you're certainly an Inspiration!
A poignant speech that perfectly captures the essence of college; dealing with what makes you tremble, and converting it into your strong suit. Your merit as a student, an employee and as a family member comes not from external sources, but from the will to succeed and be a better person from the inside first. Thank you Roy!
Your buddy Andre.
Well done! Am teaching year 1 presentation skills in Business School at the moment - and so many are really nervous in presentations. Will share your blog and example. Look forward to more blog posts. Good luck to you in your future career.
I also have the fear of public speaking and spiders. But unlike you i was never brave enough to overcome my fear of public speaking.Thank you for giving me more confidence in myself who knows maybe one day I'll finally overcome it.
Update?
You did very Good, nice job. I have a speech tomorrow and I am very nervous about it.
Congratulations, Roy! Inspirational -- both your award and your speech. Your parents must be bursting with pride, as are those of us who knew you back at GHS. I have no doubt you will continue to inspire youth who feel they are "not quite good enough." You are young yet you already have a tremendous life story to tell. Adelante!
Roy. You inspired. You helped everyone in that audience win. Brilliantly done. Call me when you are ready!
Well done Roy and congratulations on both the award and overcoming your fear of public speaking. Tremendous. I was drawn to what you have to say because of my work and focus which is just that; helping whose who are confined and resticted by fear to create for themselves a new relationship with thier natural self expression. What you have to say is very inspiring to hear and heart warming to take in. Thank you!
Even practicing by myself makes me shake, I feel like I'll burst into tears at any moment and when I take a second to calm myself down the tutor asks if I'm okay and then it's all down hill from there..
I hate that part of the shaky voice and tears God help us
This is so awesome! as someone who is terrified of public speaking, this video really encouraged me. Love the speech!!! CONGRATS!! such an amazing award and accomplishment!
Congratulations Roy. Everything you do turns to gold. You are a positive, creative, genuine person. You leave us all feeling inspired and a bit more motivated. Thanks for giving us a wonderful project for CIS Senior Project and pushing us to think about the future.
Fabulous speech.
Dr. Guthrie
I really was just thinking about this before I saw the video. Fate/god has a great sense of humor, shame everyone's afraid to laugh.
So inspiring to see that we literally can do anything, and you're proof! Thanks Roy
thank you for the wonderful note! you couldn't be more right, just takes realizing it!
the nigga pulled this shit off smoothly like a pro , I've seen no signs of anxiety attacks or even mild nervousness whatsoever.
thanks mostafa
"this nigga" sigh..
He's white...
Atta boy Roy! I gotta make a speech in one of my classes soon and I'm pretty nervous for it, but this definitely inspired me to do my best
What's the update?
Good job, Roy. Great to see a kid like you graduating from Cal Poly Pomona. As I was not naturally smart I struggled through college but if you go to Mechanical Engineering Department, you will see my name as one of charter members of Pi Tau Sigma. I studied long hours hoping that one day I'll get more than 4 hours of sleep. Now I'm 68 still working hard from home as my kids spent all my money by going to Cornell and Northwestern. You will have ups and downs but have faith and keep going. God bless you.
John Yi, so wonderful to read your comment. It sounds like you've done some phenomenal things, and I'm proud to have gone to the same university that you've left such a great legacy with. Thank you for the kind comment
An amazing speech Roy!! Congratulations!! I am so proud of you and I can only imagine how proud your parents are. Wishing you continued success, happiness, and love - you definitely deserve it!!
Beautiful inspirational speech and wonderful parents and mentor in his life to offer such great words of wisdom
this is so so so inspiring and wonderful!!😍 definitely one of the best graduation speeches I've heard so far! the best in fact.
gurung you are too kind. thank you for this wonderful compliment!
Hey everyone, it's Roy (guy giving the speech up there). I just released my book recounting my journey to overcome my fear of public speaking. Here's the link: amzn.to/2GuGpm1
-Roy
Thank you so much for the inspiritation. I too have a fear of public speaking and will totally check out your blog!
Karla J. Thanks Karla! You won't have that fear for long!
fabulous!!!! :-)
Wow it was amazing!! You made me feel better about my public speaking fear. You also encourage me about that thwre oght be others better than me and I should give it a shot even when I might not have a minimum chance.I also would like to check out the university you went to.Can't wait to hear great things from you:)
maria Thank you Maria. I can't wait to hear great things from YOU!
It makes me very happy to hear the video inspired you and helped you realize things aren't nearly as bad as they seem. You made a great observation, what you are able to achieve and opportunities and challenges you take on really comes down to what you open yourself to doing, so defeating that fear (whether it's public speaking or anything else) opens you up to achieving anything you set yourself to.
Best of luck to you, I know you will do great things.
Roy
I'm a kid but your speech is making me older
After hearing your speech it changes how I see the world
Think you for inspiring me
I have fear
I have fear of public speaking end now I want to fix it
to talk to my friends in school
Inspirational, and best wishes on your endeavors. Fear is just a feeling we create in ower minds but it really does not exist.
That's helpful thank you
I also, one among such amongst those poeple, who have fears at public speech. Thanks it helps me and gonna help. This is great
When I present all I can hear in my head is my heart pounding... it sucks
I LOVE THIS SPEECH and you hahah I just emailed you through your website and I fear public speaking too teehee. I will conquer this fear and credits to you Roy ;)
Mr. Roy Rosell you have inspired many and for that I thank you! USA ALL THE WAY!
Congratulations Roy! Solid speech and very positive! Keep sending this message!! There is nothing we cannot reach if we work hard and believe in our capacities! Good Job!
I found your speech to be endearing and encouraging: It was personal and appropriately humorous; it reflected the Roy Rosell I have come to know; and it echoed many things that are timeless truths that merit retelling.
A good speaker should always be a bit nervous: It is a sign that you give a damn about what you say and whom you are addressing. That tinge of nervousness also creates a sense of empathy among the audience for the speaker because they become vested in your success or failure.
Roy,
It's been a lot of fun working with you these last few years. Congratulations again!

Congrats Roy! Even though i haven't known you very long, i know you are a very hard working individual and extremely goal oriented. Above all you are a very wonderful person full of spirit which i know will get you to the top one day. Congratulations Roy and may god bless you on your new journey!
Im in college and in order to transfer to a 4 year university a speech class is required. This spring is my last semester at college and the last one to take that class. Just thinking about the class makes me so anxious that sometimes I cant sleep and when I do I have nightmares. My fear is not only speaking in public but also having an accent. I wasent born here in Usa so english is my second language. Im afraid that when giving my speeches people wont understand me because of my accent. And what if I pronounce wrong some words? I dont want to take this class :(
Don't worry, the speach won't. Matter in 20 years
faby f WHAT IF YOU HAD NO VOICE AT ALL? GOD GAVE YOU ONE, BE PROUD OF YOUR ACCENT, PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER YOU---BE BLESSED, BECAUSE YOU ARE, INSECURITIES MAY BE A MANIFESTATION OF ANOTHER REASON...HMMM, do you think you're to heavy? Or, some self-conscious cause? Whatever it is, it can be defeated.--I KNOW IT CAN. . . hugs.
I passed that class with an A :) It wasn't easy but I did it. Thank you all
**Well, there you go :) wonderful & ought to tell you something good. Stop being so hard on yourself STAND UP TALL, be you, ^ enjoy your heritage, it's something nice to be happy about. (sorry about the comment having your name at the end, it takes a few tries to even post. Take care, good going! faby f
faby f same problem for me 😭
Courage is all it takes.... great speech!
I faint when i speak in front of a lot of people, i turn red, I start shakeing and i get tears in my eyes.
Glad I'm not the only one
That was a good speech! you really stood out like a man killing for a trophy rising high and waiting for someone to take it! The speech was really golden (a lot more shiny than mines) and every word you spoken was very meaningful and speaking for success is a real skill to have. Success is a real goal nowadays and time as it is isn't how it looked before the Internet and video games were created and I think focusing too much on one thing can really break success over the other and you really can't do anything about it unless getting it taken care of so it gets balanced with it (and by that I'm referring to social networking and technology over businessing). That is something to focus on in life, especially for those who are struggling in school. I am going to be in highschool after the summer break so it will be a new chapter in life :/ the thing I will keep in mind is that homework will be a thing to expect so it will be a big kick in the ass throughout the school years and it all ends in 4 years! I am going to get my hands on the wheel and steer into the future because things will get crazy if I mess up shit :D
Roy outstanding speech! I am proud of you! Felicidades a ti y thus padres! You deserve it! Hope you decide to go for your graduate and/or doctorate degrees! Hasta la Victoria SIEMPRE, love Juan Pablo
That was so inspiring that now I'm looking for breathing exercises on RUclips. I could see that you were being yourself up there, and that you were comfortable portraying your message to the people watching. You give an excellent lesson and although I still rather wear those swim trunks, I hope to one day conquer my fears just as you did.
Congratulations Roy
un abrazo from me
Great job, Roy! And congratulations!
Very motivational! Ima hear this every morning before I start my day
I feel you litle nervous, but you handle well; maybe is the key: go for it, even if you feel litle insecure. I feel terrific writing essays, wow I say this is the real me, but speaking I feel blocked. I compare speaking with diving, water is hard and can cause pain if you don't enter well in water. With speech could be similar, inmersion in your theme like inmersion in water without loosing control. Very inspiring, I feel terrify in public speaking but is necessary I do it as a part of my life project, in order to trascend, contribute to world.
You got that right Rafael. You'll always have some fear. Fear is a fantastic thing if you have it under your control.
As Dale Carnegie once said, "People who say they are as cool as a cucumber are as thick skinned as a cucumber and as inspiring as a cucumber.” Don't see fear as your enemy, rather, as a potential best friend. Once you work at controlling it, it'll serve as motivation as opposed to dread. Keep it up friend!
Really love this motivational speech. Am one of this victims but now it's like wow
Amazing speech❤
Thanks for your inspiration
I appreciate you!
I have to give a speech today. I have stage freight.
I hope it went well lol I have one tomorrow wish me luck
I have one tomorrow too Im super nervous
Ryan Hughes Don't worry dude. I recently did ANOTHER speech last Thursday and it turned out fine.
thanks! I just can't wait for it to be over
Ryan Hughes Yeah man. Speeches are a pain.
What an excellent speech! Bravo! So inspiring!
You know it's years old when he says he shared on Facebook
Good point
Hey good job there, well i am 23 years old and in university, i accepted jesus as my lord 6 month ago and got healed of evil addictions, i want to preach and warn ppl in my school so much but i lack confidence. I fear crowds and i dont have good communication skills i cant evn express myself sometimes. What should i do guyz?
KKK rules!
I know that feeling too well. Believe it or not, not long before this speech I'd literally have sweaty palms and a pit in my stomach at the thought of being called on to answer a question in class. The worst part was that I thought I'd always feel that way but thank goodness I finally figured out how to get rid of it and I've never felt better about speaking publicly. Shoot me a message if you want to talk more.
I also have social anxiety and fear of speaking in the class please gimme some tips
Awesome speech!! Much needed even for today.
That was absolutely awesome. I was feeling good and very much inspired after that.
I had a bad day today, this video really made my day..I know that your words will inspire me for a long time...:DDDD
Amaziiiing video...I am inspired. Love this!!!!
Well done! I hope more for you than to say you will always fear it - what I hope for you is that you find confidence and a joy in public speaking, because you are so good and a natural. Lovely use of humour & so genuine and authentic. Both a fear of public speaking and a fear of spiders can be overcome by using SET (Simple Energy Techniques) a form of tapping. It is even better than imagining an audience naked! I can send you the info if you want it we have free youtube videos and articles on it
Inspiring bro. Good luck on your journey.
I can’t overcome with this public speech fear😢 what can I do ? It pushed me back everyday in my academic life even though I have excellent academic. Public speech kills me every time 😦
ohh my God when I will over com my fear
Beautiful speech my brother!!! Well said!!
Its great..thank u..its quite inspirational!!
fear is glass, and glass can be broken
I'm 15 and I have the EXACT, the EXACT same fears, spiders and public speaking. Wow. Is this just a coincidence or maybe some sort of a sign ?
Not a coincidence. Public speaking and spiders are 2 of the most common phobias in the world.
Me too!!! I'm also 15
im the same i am scare of spiders or any bugs for the matter and public speaking, if i try to speak in public sometime my voice will run away.
also im scare of heights and stairs (going down stairs or open stairs), these two may because of fear of falling, since i like roller-coaster and flying in aeroplanes, but i will not parachute out of plane even if it going and blow up.
i used to be scare of the dark when i was little but i grown out of it.
****This is primary proof of the inner strength, we all possess. I don't have public speaking fears but, this is a definite inspiration for the areas of my life where I do lack or am weakened at some point. For Peace and overall Serenity, follow this

If you're not interested, simply pass on to someone that you wholeheartedly care for. They will sincerely thank you for it. Peace and live well.

Hi Rachel thank you! You're very right. And let me scratch out what I said in my last comment about always fearing it, I used the term a bit loosely there. What I meant is it will always make me nervous, it's not something i'm entirely comfortable with but for some reason or another, that nervousness makes giving a speech that much more exciting. I would love to check out an article on SET for my fear of spiders though ;)
Wow his a real inspira..
Oh wait let me just get the door.
Fear? What the fuck are u doing here?? GET THE HELL OUT MY PROPERTY.
As I was saying he's a real inspiration to all of us who has a fear of spiders.
