I'm not a doctor, but if nothing works out for you.. Then consult a doctor and take proponolol before presentation.. Works like charm... But down side is without proponolol I'm not able speak in a public or in a meeting.. My heart beat raises as soon as I start talking...

Love this... it's about getting out of your own way! I find giving talks similar to teaching a yoga class - it's not about you... it's about the students in the class and how to give them the best experience in that moment. And every single time, it's about getting out of your own way, don't make it about you and your nerves - it's about them! Thanks for this reminder. :)

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

I’m looking to gather insight from individuals like yourself (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.

I have a presentation Thursday in one of my college courses. I’ve found that if I start the presentation by asking a question to related said topic I’m able to ground the my nerves faster once I get the audience speaking instead of just having them staring at me during the start of the presentation. I’ll add this is someone who is terrified of public speaking and on anxiety medication.

I have to force myself to speak in large groups and the more I did the more relaxed I got!! The only way to overcome public speaking is to force one’s self to do it! It’s a muscle that has to be used in order to get stronger! I still have work to do and I’m okay with that 😉 Perspective+ Accept Anxiety+ Positive Self Talk+ Who cares what people think Great Information!!!

I'm a 14 yo kid. I used to be so good at debates but then i left my school in 5th class. I was so depressed about it and i think that is why i have speech anxiety now. And the funny thing is that i can sometimes talk to strangers but i find it so hard to talk normally to my family especially my dad i don't really know why. It's like something is stopping me from speaking and my chest gets heated up. I really need a solution from you or the Internet!

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

I don't have speaking anxiety I can speak to people and I love presenting stuffs But the problem is.. Whenever I talk to somebody else and want to say this word like For an example "ice-cream" I want to say it but I just stop. And froze I want to say it but my mouth just declines it I want to say the word "icecrem" but I just CANT but then moments later I can say it Its very hard,its like I'm hesitating to say the word Like talking about a movie and I want to say what their about but then I just stop and froze and like,MY MIND JUST LIKE TOLD ME TO "SAY THE WORD" BUT MY MOUTH SAID "NO" what's wrong?

@@RiazMeghji It was just ok. I have about three presentations a week (every other week) when in the office. I believe the three day consistency will strengthen my presentation skill (muscle) and relieve some of my anxiety issues. At this point, I don't have a choice. In the meantime, I will continue to watch videos like yours to get more comfortable. Thanks so much for asking.

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

one thing that helps me overcome speaking anxiety is to think that will this speech or presentation matter in a matter of a few months or years. Also have bullet points ready for what you are about to speak about. That takes away the weight from the speaking part instantly.

I have ACTUAL anxiety (diagnosed). Idk if this will work. It’s more than just trouble with eye contact; I had trouble breathing and etc. it’s worse than just “shyness”, hiding and sweating palms. I hope this works.

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

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

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