"There are many speaker myths out there that need to be dispelled in order to overcome the fear of public speaking," says Larina Kase and Harrison Monarth, authors of "The Confident Speaker."
One is, if you're anxious you will not perform well. In reality we actually need anxiety to perform well; we just need the right level of anxiety. People start getting a little nervous, they feel their heart beating quickly and they think oh no, I'm anxious, I'm not going to do a good job when we found in research that in fact when people are a bit anxious they do a fine job.
You can be proactive and learn supportive, empowering strategies that will help you to go from scared speechless to confident speaker.

  • @Ryannnn182 It is never too late to try again!

  • @Baderproductions hey man i have a 15 minute senoir project presentation and i know what you mean. good luck man really it helps if you make the class laugh first and yourself to help you loosen up a bit. dont talk too fast and think about breathing the most or you could run out of breath. practice infront of people your comfortable with and then progress from there. i hate having this stupid anxiety but we can overcome it.

  • ugh i have a 10 minute math presentation i have to do alone and i'm terrified.
