How I Overcame My Fear of Public Speaking | Danish Dhamani | TEDxKids@SMU

Communication is the most important skill for personal and professional success. In this talk, Danish Dhamani discusses how overcoming your fear of public speaking is key to leading a fulfilling life and unlocking your true potential. Danish’s vision is to empower everyone around the world to overcome their fear of public speaking and to become a better communicator. As a first generation immigrant, for whom English is a second language, the fear of public speaking haunted Danish throughout his early life. By constant practicing and coaching, he soon realized that people are not born public speakers; instead public speaking is a learn-able skill. This is what inspired Danish to create Orai, a mobile app that uses artificial intelligence to improve your speaking ability. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Today I had a public speaking in front of 600 people and I failed miserably. When i came into that stage, my mind was covered blank instantly. And when I was having a hard time giving a speech, I paused constantly, lost my speech started to talk non - sense. Although, I knew today I wasn't prepared enough and that I have learned how the public speaking works in front of 100s of people. Even though I lost my speech, I turned this horrific experience to a large and best opportunity and lesson I could get in my life. I know it sounds crazy, I left my emotions flow for many hours then I ended up being positive with myself. I gained huge amount of confidence after my embarrassing experience of todays speaking in front of a crowd. I got an opportunity to understand how I must react, settle my self, emotions and how I must be very prepared for my public speech. I don't know why, but it was embarassing and weirdly I feel very happy about the fact that I failed and analysed my faults.

You aren’t alone. I see this sort of issue all the time in the military. We get thrown into situations where we have to teach an entire company of soldiers and when you are pulled to do it it’s without warning or early notice so you essentially aren’t prepared. But we learn from it and you seem to be on the right path of learning from your mistakes.

[@michellec3640]

The problem is that no one really gets it. Everyone thinks that you just have to talk and get over it, but it’s not like that. Every single time I have to go to class and I know I have to talk because my grade is on the line, or simply the thought of having to talk terrifies me. It has completely taken over my life, i am constantly shaking and my heart beats so fast it feels like it’s going to get out of my chest, I get so red and nobody understands it. Nobody gets how ashamed I feel because I can’t get myself to do something that seems so easy but it’s so difficult for me. Anyways, thanks for coming to my ted talk.

People do get it, they just cba to tell you everything like they are talking to a baby. You are not a baby, grow up, if you have a fear, start tackling it! Simple stuff.

I have a presentation next Tuesday to the whole school. Often, I feel like I can do it when I speak to myself, but then a nagging thought pops up in my mind the next moment and says, "No, you can't. You can't even speak confidently enough to your class, let alone to the whole school." I'm not... unprepared. Whenever I look at my teacher, she gives me a sense of relief and looking at everyone else with their gloomy faces jumbles up my mind. It's just that my mind goes blank and my words tangle like strings and the information that stores in my brain all disappear. I also want to do TED talks one day, you know, to share my experience with the people who want to hear. But, I aspire to be like this man. I'm only fourteen with so much else to do, often ostracising myself for every little thing but I journal a lot so yeah. Well, time to do my best.

@@mohammednajeb3716 of course. So what you want to do is to use cue Cards. Make sure your speech has sub headings and practice each part, over and over again until you have a pretty good idea of what you’re talking about. Now after that you want to record yourself saying the full speech and then listen to the recording of your voice each night or whenever you want to practise. It helps so much. What I did was read parts of my lines and than listen to the recording to see if I was right.

Everytime I get to speak infront, it may be either a reporting, role playing, thesis defense, etc. I just think "I don't get nervous", "I'm not nervous", "I shouldn't get nervous", and that "I MUST NOT get nervous" and that "I just want this to end". idc if I was actually getting nervous and that I was just being indenial. But this actually works. 'Coz everytime I let this feeling conquer my mind. I will have mental block. I wouldn't know what to say next. But with this mindset, even though my heart pounds so hard, I should still think that I shouldn't be nervous or else I'm gonna end up embarrassing myself. With this mindset, it made me more confident, I get to show my funny side. ('coz being too serious will make me MORE nervous) and finishing it without being someone people would remember who cant talk just because she's nervous.

Apparently it's not just his speaking skills that are good , his marketing skills are on point too 😉✨

[@paddy6891]

My remedy was that I started to take propanalol before speaking events to stop my heavy breathing, sweating and nervousness with presenting. Overtime as I become more and more confident and realisation that there is nothing to fear. I started to realise I no longer need the medicine. Give it a try, hopefully it will work for you too as it did for me. I know how you all feel. God bless. x

[@raidfridge]

Spoke a few times to large group’s of people with out the debilitating anxiety and it was one of the most surreal feelings I’ve ever had. I was like wow this is how it feels not to get nervous during public speaking. No fear, it’s amazing. If someone can invent a pill to erase that crushing anxiety, they’d be beyond rich.

[@malarkala3366]

I rally agree your thoughts even, I saw your speech. I can public speaking but some peoples not engrage so many people are not speaking it fact fear why every one know everything not its impossible somebody knows some one how many peoples agrees this its issues of fear I really enjoy the your speech. Thankyou

[@JunaidAli480]

This is the same problem I face whenever I stand for giving a presentation. Firstly, everything seems good but then when my chance comes I feel very hesitant but I never stop myself from taking part in these kinds of confidence-boosting activities because the only solution to overcoming the fear is taking part in activities Thanks

[@angelito1233]

it’s scary right, i didn’t used to be like that, but now it just keeps getting worst and worst ever time. i hate it, i hate being like that. why can i just be like those people that talk so well in front of others, i hate myself for that.

[@asht13373]

I have my history presentation next week on zoom...super scared...wish me luck😐

[@aqilafrh]

Yeah I gave up on my grade because of the fear. I already have a crippling social anxiety, so when they told me to do a story telling ALONE in front of my class, i was trembling and almost faint. My whole class tries to hold their laughter out of respect but i feel like a clown and it hurts me until now. I know it’s my fault, i know i have to change, but its so so hard.

[@Mr.Invincible-Sanjay]

Hi friends! My name is Sanjay and I am from India. I have been learning English since 2015. Actually I have been a hindi medium student so It took me 2 years to make myself capable of understanding, writing, listening and speaking English. Now I have a good vocabulary. But sometimes when it comes to speaking I do not speak well. Some people say it's not your cup of tea but I keep on learning English. I write good English and I wish to be a good orator. What should I do to improve my spoken English ?

[@jamaalyare225]

Great your'e good don't give up....just practice and push yourself..try to speak every single dail by 10 to 30 mint in yourself or other people around you.. listen english novels and take some vocabulary from the novels...wish u best in english

[@inasb5711]

i have been learning english for 2 years, and everytime when there is a presentation on public, i don't want to do it, i think that i'm very bad in english, and people will laugh at me, so after your impressive talk i'll try all my efforts to do it 🙏

By reading all these comments I realize that I’m not alone in my fear.

[@tamara3782]

One of my students told me that when he discussed his anxieties with someone close to him, like his wife or a close friend, then he found that the moment he started opening up to them, the anxiety decreased-even before he received any advice or support. Togetherness definitely decreases anxiety. There is a saying in the wisdom of Kabbalah that “a sorrow shared is a sorrow halved,” i.e. when we share a sensation, we divide it up, and in turn it becomes more manageable. Since it is quite easy to see how sharing our experiences lessens our negative feelings, the question is why do we not use this ability more? Why is it so hard for us to share our fears and anxieties with others? We are indeed afraid of opening our hearts, letting everyone see that we have certain fears and anxieties. That is, in addition to whatever fears and anxieties we hold within, we usually have additional anxieties about sharing them with others, that it might cause others to perceive us as weak. Since society in general values stronger, smarter, wealthier and fitter individuals, opening up our anxieties to such a society makes us vulnerable to exploitation. We thus need to seek a social environment that would not exploit us for opening up, but would rather give us a sense of faith and confidence that it can help us cope with any negative feelings. A social setting that can guarantee faith and confidence in its members is one that actively draws itself to the upper good and benevolent force-the force of love, bestowal and connection. It is this very same force that awakens negative feelings in us, whether they be fears, anxieties or several other painful sensations, in order for us to draw closer to that force, and we do so by drawing closer to each other. If we wish to connect with the upper force and let its perfect quality of love, bestowal and connection fill our lives with a sensation of faith and confidence, then we need to emulate such a quality toward other people-giving them a sense of faith and confidence, and for them to do the same toward us. By wanting to positively connect with others, we then start awakening the positive force dwelling in nature into the connections we create, and we then feel a new sense of faith and confidence wash away any anxieties that we might be holding within.

[@iwonaroslonek]

Did you try hypnosis to eliminate this fear for good?

[@coopdiggity]

Practice by speaking outloud as you prepare. it helps your practice to hear your own voice. Practice like you play. If you are public speaking which involves speaking aloud, then practice by speaking aloud also.

[@xuegao7930]

I’m almost 40. I still scared talk in front of many people, sweating, heartbreaking raise, face blushing and you can tell you are nervous from my face. I am back to school. There are many presentation. Tomorrow going to be introduce yourself in front of class. I really want to over come it. Help

[@neka7994]

I'm in the same boat as you, but have confidence in our age because it gives us a leg up since we have more work/life experience.

[@saniazehra8474]

A few days ago I went to audition for a debate that was about to be held in my school. I like to speak in front of my class a lot, everytime we have a public speaking class I like to get up and speak on science and stuff, and honestly I am very good at it. But when I went to audition for the debate they gave a topic that was not something I think about often. Agreed, that it is a debate and we can get any topic, so I started to prepare it and practice it. But when I went up to my teachers (who where the judges) my heart sank and my anxiety took over me. I started to speak, but English not being my first language was not willing to come out of my mouth. I started stuttering which I had never done before, which resulted in embarrassment. Soon my teachers started to laugh at me. I was devastated, so I said sorry and returned to my classroom. And now I am scared to even ask doubts in the class.

[@spiritech7162]

that's what I am terrified about, knowing that currently I'm not good enough and 90% chances are it would end up like this. Wish your teachers were more supportive. How are you feeling now?

[@samina363]

I also have the fear of public speaking. I from a country where our native language is not English. But in our colleges we are asked to give our presentation in English. And, I am not good at english so it makes me feel anxious to talk. I start to shiver, my heart starts pounding, then I get blank. However, I believe I can make it someday. So, I want to tell you all that its okay if you are not good at it, but do not stop there, keep trying...

I have a presentation tomorrow😭 I wanna die right now and never come back but I have to do it and I will update you guys tomorrow😫 WISH ME LUCK Edit: okay so I did it good, but my fear is still not over. I literally felt like I was going to cry. Today we had a presentation about a text we had to write and some of the other students were before me. The teacher was about to finish the lesson bc it was almost over but then from nowhere I raised my hand bc I didn’t want to do it the other day. Well my voice was a little shaky but it was kinda good. My teachers know about my problem and she said it was so good, but I’m not so happy cause I could have done better. I’m not over this fear yet, but I’m on a good way. Before I couldn’t even read FROM my seat and now I am doing well. This helped me a lot, thanks to my understanding teachers and you. I want yall to belive in yourself and that’s something I never did. Believe me, I cried almost every day cause I felt different If you need help I can help you in the comments, I will update every time I got a presentation and I will tell y’all how it went😘 Edit 2020-05-19: tomorrow I have another presentation😫 we did a experiment with ice and wrote down the answers and tomorrow we have to read it in front of all in class and I really hope I do good. I will update you tomorrow and tell you guys how it went😭wish me luck
