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.

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

MY HEART BEATS IS LOUDDER THAN MY VOICE

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.

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.

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😊❤

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!

this is best video to me that clearly described everything.

That was really helpful especially the practise technique.thank you.

Very well said and great tips!

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”.

I have Thesis Defense tomorrow. I'm so bad at public speaking :(

Excellent. Solid suggestions.

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.

I have been analyzing and trying to figure out this myself and can confirm he is 100% right.

Fantastic info, thank you.

Great Tips. Loved it.

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.

This guy rules. Bravo.

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.

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.

thanks... really help me a lot.. (student form malaysian)

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.

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.

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!

So helpful

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.

How about if i am setting on an oval table and must read daily operations and figures statistics. What should do then?

I'm doing the Mizzou HS!

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_ 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

Thanks

I get nervous when I on live group live call. I am wondering what about if you are speaking was a last minute thing?

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.

I am a Humss student so I need to improve my public speaking skills.

thanks

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.

Practice, practice and practice. If you know what you’re talking about - your smash it.

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.

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.

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

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'.

I have to do a presentation on Wednesday. Last day of school, last class of the year. :(

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.

hey!!!!I am studying in class 11 but actually I couldn't able to speak a single word over the crowd there is a hesitationin me because of my personality my errors while speaking that's why this hesitation occur so please give me some tips to overcome by this problem

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

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_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)

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.

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.

nice video

Yeah, nice. That's helpfull....

Is it better to take public speaking online, which means recording yourself?

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

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.

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.
