Possible cure for fear of public speaking

[TheAngel88888888]

I had an oral report today for my Psycology class - and guess what - with your help - I Did It :) I watched your video a few times then again today twice - I practiced my power point presentation a few times today as well. There was one point when I started that I got a tiny bit nervous - but it went away. Thank You so Much :)

[TheAngel88888888]

So, I have an oral report tomorrow in class - I feel good now - I am going to watch this before I leave for class and I hope it really does totally snap me out of it!!! I feel very good about it now - I must say that the buzzer scared me every time :)

[leparks]

Yes, but it may work anyway. Imagine yourself in front of a group about to speak and see how you feel.

I guess the hard part is to remember the occasion where one's stage fright emerged =/

[lilbrea11]

Wow I totally felt something worked!

[leparks]

I'm glad it worked for you and that you reported it to me.

Loren

[GodRealm13]

damn! it worked! thank you! u have no idea what u just did! thank you!

[mastergsan]

Lol dude you know whatyour talking about, i dont like public speaking because i messed up in primary school and couldn't read a couple words (I had even rehearsed them!!) and everyone started laughing. before that i would talk in front of the whole school no probs, but now..at the age of 27 i cant do public speaking. i know its that past experience that caused it.

[leparks]

@mastergsan Easily fixed. Test it by imagining you're up front to speak and see how you feel.

Loren

[rklinton2002]

impressive... i felt goosebumps with it

[BleachedMarz]

Holy shit, it works!

[leparks]

@BleachedMarz Yes, it works pretty good. Too bad a few million people don't try it.

Loren

[leparks]

The jolt is a good sign some bad stuff was disconnected. You can test  by imagining you are to perform or speak in front of an audience.

Loren

[kapeepcity]

not sure if it worked, but when the buzz noise came on I felt a jolt inside me! pretty weird

[SidHenry71]

how do you overcome a shaky voice when reading out loud

[leparks]

I hope you are fixed. You didn't say. Please post if you're now much less fearful.

Loren

[ecftube]

This man is soooo right.... I was joked on throughout school and I all but passout when I have to speak, perform, in front of people.

[TruthofDilly]

What a clever man you are, it works! Thank you.

[leparks]

@TruthofDilly  I'm glad for you and you make me happy by telling me it worked for you. Great. Loren

[acerfulable]

what if a person cant talk or cant speak well....what is your advice then? how can a person be part of a group if he has a difficulty in his speaking skills?

[frechopper]

@acerfulable i want to know too

[Neanderthalcouzin]

You're a good man for caring about helping people with this.

[leparks]

It can work well. Just school being ridiculed by other kids. Play several times, realiazing it ws only a temporary embarrassment.

Loren

[Mu5clehead]

wow great technique

[leparks]

I hope it helped you. Please let me know.

Loren

[Mu5clehead]

@leparks i feel a lot better about school presentations now

not perfect yet but im getting better

[Mu5clehead]

@leparks wow it worked

are you a psychologist/hypnotherapist or something?

[leparks]

I own a small medical electronics company. I have 6 years of psych. Worthless. Best decision I ever made was to get out of psychology as a career.

I am a lay hypnotherapist. I have never charged anything for my services.

Loren

[Mu5clehead]

@leparks wow how come?

Im 17 yrs old and thinking about persuading a career in psychology

would you mind telling me why psychology had bored you in the past?

[leparks]

My advice is to find something in the sciences. Psychology doesn't pay well and doesn't work well. A lot of people who majored in psych., like I did, found something better to do. Loren

[007singod]

my internet connection got disconnected by the buzzer

[leparks]

I guess you're out of luck then.

[leparks]

I thank you very much for letting me know. That is the reward for my efforts.

Loren

[Crispeeee]

Hello ! I wrote to you in Feb about my up coming gig and forgot to let you know how it went! I also noticed you posted a new video for stagefright which was very thoughtful of you, Unfortunately, personally I won't be in need of your new video. I felt completely relaxed and was able to sing and play very comfortably ! Of course my nerves were present but it was how I dealt with them that suprised me. Since you video I have entered many competitions and have sung to many people. Thank-you !!

[lilbrea11]

@Crispeeee so did you do the video the day before your gig or what? i have something coming up and i'm so nervous because of what happened in the past and i want to do well!!!

[pm081]

thank you

[leparks]

You can get over it. It may come back a little but you know where it came from.

Loren

[happyprincess456]

wow, awesome. thanks for posting! i think its helped!

[leparks]

The video is there. How do you know it hasn't helped?

[EcuaGangsta4]

hey mr i need help i not only have problems with public speaking i get so nervous that i sweat a lot underarm,face my whole body and i shake a lot...while presenting i cant focus on what im saying and i have trouble memorizing when im thinking about the presentation the day before.what should i do? help me out i dont like to have this problem =[ i tried to control it but i cant help me send me a message or make a video please HELP

[leparks]

Yes, results are immediate. I hope the original cause came to mind. If you write me I will send you a message to have you remember the cause. Makes the cure better.

Loren

[Crispeeee]

Wow ! I felt instantly better and relaxed about my gig on the 26th of Feb. I'll let you know how I got on.

[anarchochipmunk]

lol

[dadoingdoingdoing]

weird... i think this may have actually worked.

[msvelmalyn]

As I listened to you speak about what it was that made us scared to begin with, it brought up all these horrible moments of insults over the past 40 years. And I started to cry and then as you sounded that buzzer and said DISCONNECT! I completely snapped out of it! It was gone immediately! I have to sing opera in October and right now I am dealing with shingles from just rehearsing! Thanks!

[NinjaStaff]

ok i will try it but im really scared im shaking like an earth quake im gonna die

[leparks]

Then it didn't work for you.

[NinjaStaff]

does anyone have another cure i have a big thing

going on tomorrow that I'm scared about

5/29/08

[leparks]

Test it by imagining you are in front of the group with lights on you. If you feel any nervousness, play it again. It's just garbage from a long time ago.

[NinjaStaff]

that buzzer gives me the creeps

[ejalal33]

what's the exact role of the buzzer? If anyone tried this therapy,please let me know as soon as possible

thanks

[tylorjr]

its for you to trick yourself by catching you off gaurd and you will have cured it by yourself sub-concionsly with the help of a very inteligent wise man.... :)

[hardassteel]

what is "subject" he says you have to know your subject.

[blacksabbath62]

Your "subject"is what you are going to talk about

[curlykale]

The cause is not always because you have been ridiculed. It can come from lack of self-belief and a lot of negative self-talk.

[leparks]

If you can imagine yourself in front of a group, about to speak, and you feel calm or only a bit nervous, you'll do OK.

[flameboy63]

Ok, I will put this to the test and let everyone know how it went for me
