Thanks Annemarie ❤just love it,love it. Actually the theme of this class was the reason that I subscribed to your channel, the tone of your voice, the calmness, the confidence and patience that you project with your personality is just admirable.❤

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Wow. Thank you for such a kind comment, Maria. I truly appreciate it and I appreciate that you watch my lessons as well. I'm glad this particular lesson was helpful.

[@poojasharma-wx9ow]

Hi ma'am can you teach me online

[@thilakasirispathiranage9981]

It is in deed.

[@SLApple-hp9ed]

For me, the best way to ground myself is thinking that "I am much better than any one of the audience." So, I can speech aloud and proudly!

[@fathimaruzaiqa9489]

It won’t take you very far. That is quiet toxic and the moment you meet actually someone who is better than you, you will feel crippled. Adopt healthy habits from the beginning.

[@SLApple-hp9ed]

@@fathimaruzaiqa9489 Things go both ways. If you think ' I'm not good enough to stand onto the stage in front of my audience', then you need to fake it till make it. As a leader, I need to not only train a positive thought but also take more courage to stand up like a spearhead to lead a team or groups.

[@agnesstakala1385]

@@fathimaruzaiqa9489 Don't let your intellectual capabilities degrade you. When there is a will there is way. Everything depends on what you believe, if you continue to believe that someone out there is better than you are, you are busted and getting somewhere good is a pigs fly. No progress at all ❤️

[@markk34]

@@fathimaruzaiqa9489 if you have an audience, they are there to listen to you….. because you are better than them. I listen to this KZbin channel because she’s better than me… I’m here to learn. Don’t confuse worth and value with skill and ability.

[@iamnotthemessiahnowfocuson7469]

Annemarie the easiest way to Slow down the way you communicate is simple When you see something with immense Beauty The nervous system engages and takes in everything in your immediate environment Like for example when I see a sunset and see the sun slowly disappear below the horizon That is a wow moment your eyes are naturally fixated taking in the colours Maybe the sound of the waves rolling in on the shoreline Hearing the wildlife busy in their natural habitat The neurology naturally slows down Beauty is confidence naturally And beauty is everywhere as long as You open up the perceptual filters You can miss so much Thank you Annemarie

[@englishclouds05]

To put my mood on the right position, I' d rather listen to a podcast in english or write some sentences to unwind and feel comfortable

[@mustapharharouss6753]

Some methods: - be prepared and organised: be familiar with your presentation before presenting it to the audience - body language: speak slowly and calmly. Eye contact... - focus on your message: on what you're saying - training: record yourself and watch it back. Present to some of your colleagues and get their feedback. Anxiety at the beginning is normal, you just need to experience it more and more in order to go forward

[@faridpannah1596]

As usual, I really appreciate your comprehensive explanations. Do you also have or know any channel that explains English grammar from basic to advanced in details? Thanks

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thank you for the comment. I am not aware of a channel focused exclusive on grammar but I know there are many wonderful grammar videos available.

Hello Annemarie, What course you recommend to choose for this kind of topic?

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Hi! Thank you for the question. My Fluency School course is an excellent choice for further instruction on how to control your voice and sound confident in English. Registration is open now! You can learn more here, www.speakconfidentenglish.com/fluencyschool/

[@vanguaruja1]

question: to become more calm, calmer or either is ok? for me calmer is correct (<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="243">4:03</a>)

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thanks for the question. As with single syllable words, calmer is correct. However, when using multiple words in a sentence, you might also hear more calm. For example, I feel more calm and relaxed when I get 8 hours of sleep every night.
