It is an awesome one off product for improving your public speaking without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my BF at last got amazing results with it.

You know what helps me... It's about perspective. The moment I realized that I can overcome presentations is when I realised that one day we're all going to die. Why waste it being nervous. Be angry. This also helps. I get angry that I'm like this and use that anger with a IDGAF attitude

@mellima4226 4 года назад

I feel you Ethan. I use positive affirmation. In the beginning it was very hard to recognize what I was telling myself. But accepting and embracing what I feel makes it a lot more easier. I remember myself that if I do that speech it will open many great opportunities. If It didn’t go as a wanted than I say I gained courage and before and during the speech Affirmations like ‘ I can speak, I’ve got something to say. People like me and when I do that speech I connect with that audience’. And please don’t forget to breathe🙈

@alexanderlyon 5 лет назад

Hi Salma. You might want to reflect on what about it makes you so nervous. For example, are you afraid people will judge you? Are you afraid of what failure would mean? Are you afraid of being embarrassed? I ask this because when people are really nervous, they have typically built up the negative consequences in their heads. Usually, if you can get clear on what exactly your thoughts are and write the down, you'll be able to decide if those negative thoughts are true and then replace them with more helpful thoughts.

@@jerryvasquez3577 Hi Jerry, Im' not sure why other coaches would suggest that preparation wouldn't help with jitters. What I know is that by preparing you are able to move from the "thinking" brain to the "unthinking" brain, just like an elite athlete or genius musician. You can let go of the the mind chatter that seeks to undermine confidence. Best wishes for your success

@tiyopaenguin 3 года назад

I know sometimes, no matter how hard you try to do the tips on RU-vid, you still get nervous. If these tips still don't work for you, do my trick: try humming, make your voicebox vibrate until it's your turn to speak. Here's the logic behind it: before it's your turn to speak in a meeting or a presentation, someone else is probably speaking. Whether you have to wait for your turn to speak or someone's introducing you as speaker or just simply waiting for the meeting to start, your mouth is most definitely shut. And while you wait to speak, that's when the nervousness starts to elevate. You screw up when it's already your turn to speak because that's the only time you hear your own voice. You know what you're talking about but your voice is alien to your ears. By humming, you hear your own voice before you even speak. By making your voicebox vibrate, you simulate speaking. So when you open your mouth to talk, it already feels like you've been doing it for quite sometime and you feel comfortable already. I hope that helps. Let me know :)

I think my own self doubt makes me nervous sometimes. Having everyone looking at you. But then I realize when I'm watching a presentation, I'm not judging anyone just listening to the topic. These tips helped too!!

@niaag537 Месяц назад

Omg yes. It feels like you’re being judged but when you’re apart of the audience the only thing that you’re worried about is the message and not so much the speaker. Having a class full of eyeballs on you all at once makes that hard to believe sometimes lol

@lilychu8912 3 года назад

I used to be nervous about public speaking but made myself take a course in college on public speaking. We had to give a talk once a week and after that quarter, I was no longer anxious. At this point, I've given talks at meetings in front of hundreds of people without problems. What helps me is to remember that most people in the audience are on your side: they want you to succeed and they're not there with the intention of making fun/ laughing/ arguing with you. Think about when you've been in the audience of a presentation: did you go in thinking 'I'm going to see how this person will trip up or how they will fail." NO: most likely you were looking forward to learning something or hearing what they're going to say. So remember that when you're the speaker. Secondly, go in with the attitude "I have some really cool information this audience needs" or "I just learned something really neat and I'm going to share it with them" rather than, "People are going to see how stupid I am. They know more about this topic than me." Think of it as sharing information with a bunch of friends: are you nervous when you do that?

@lilychu8912 3 года назад

You can also be honest: I have heard speakers say things like: "I'm really nervous about this talk but I'm excited to be here today." You can even ask the audience: "How many of you are nervous about public speaking? Raise your hand." "I am too! But here goes!" Most audiences are sympathetic as most people are nervous about public speaking.

@ellie7200 5 лет назад

If I might add something (for people who are suffering from chronic anxiety): DO practice a lot and know your stuff, but DON'T overdo it. Don't stay up the whole night trying to make it 150% perfect. You need sleep, that's okay. Try to focus on a healthy balance, because if you're practicing so much that you start to overthink absolutely every word and phrase you use it's not gonna work to your advantage. I'd recommend planning a schedule for practicing and trying to implement some relaxation techniques (such as meditation, for example) before and/or after these practice sessions, cause for people suffering from anxiety even just practicing this stuff might be very nerve-wracking. So, plan ahead (realistically) and try to also relax a bit. You got this.

@alexanderlyon 5 лет назад

Thanks, Ellie. Agreed. Preparation but not perfection.

@ellie7200 5 лет назад

Glad to know my tip is pro--approved!

@alexanderlyon 5 лет назад

@@ellie7200 Yes! I've actually thought a lot about the various mindsets that make us extra anxious and perfectionism is one of them. So, it's a hard balance to say on the one hand that practicing like crazy will help you when it's really the mindset that drives the practice that can lead to more or reduce anxiety. So, if a person thinks "I want to be ready for anything and really know my stuff," then that will help. If they think, "I want to practice this until it's 'perfect,'" then they're doing to likely freak themselves out.

I overheard my teacher mention that we'd be doing an individual presentation, and I couldn't help but think about it these past few weeks. I've honestly just been anxious, and feel hopeless because my previous presentations have been a failure. My voice would shake so bad, and no matter how many times I tell myself I'll be fine, it's really not. So I believe these same symptoms will occur once again, whether this presentation comes in a few weeks or a few months from now.

@christiank9491 2 года назад

I get nervous. I practiced my last speech over 300 times in a 2 month period in a multitude of settings. I also envisioned myself speaking every night in a confident way. I highly recommend being overly obsessed like this the first few times. Know your stuff forward and backward. Practice gesturing, fluidity everything. Your confidence will grow immensely in practice like this. Then bag a few successful speeches before dialling the prep back a bit. It’s key to get successful experiences under your belt.

@Michael-ou8fo 5 лет назад

I think you give very good advice. However some people experience extreme fear that is so intense it will overcome the ability to apply the logic that you suggest.

@alexanderlyon 5 лет назад

You are correct. My advice is for people who struggle with average levels of nervousness. Some people struggle with high-level anxiety but tips in a video like this won't do much for those people. In those case, the person's anxiety is usually persistent across contexts and not isolated on public speaking anxiety. I'd say the advice in this video (and other videos like it) will help (at least a little) about 8 or 9 out of 10 public speakers. The other 1 to 2 out of 10 likely have some form of social anxiety/communication apprehension or anxiety issues more generally that is often rooted in a difficult past experience. A person in that situation likely would benefit from counseling to figure out what the root experience is to get some healing in that area of pain.

Just came here to say that these tips proved to be extremely helpful. I just passed my public speaking exam today and it was my first speech to give.

Surely, a constant practice of communicating with others gets rid of anxiety completely. Some time ago it was a really nervous adventure to hold a speech for me, but expressing ideas and disscusions with studetns, lecturers in university, talking with people on the streets, events and somewhere else really helped me to convert nervousness during public speaking, communication into an excitment such as "Wow, I am sharing such good ideas to that many of people!". Thanks for the video, greetings from Uzhgorod, Ukraine!

@domwings4329 2 года назад

I haven’t had much public speaking practice but of the times I did good was when I practiced like crazy. Saying the same speech over and over while recording it for myself to watch. I did a master of ceremonies host in front of thousands of people. I was terrified leading up to it. I’m a person that gets a shaky voice, hearts starts beating super fast and feel like I’m gonna black out in front of a few people but talking in front of thousands of people after I started speaking I wasn’t nervous. I was shocked, but it was bc I had went over my script many dozens of times for weeks in advance and it became just another practice.

@alexanderlyon 2 года назад

Great story, Dom. Thank you for sharing. I love your statement that "it became just another practice." I believe that should be the goal of practicing a lot. We should all get to the point where we've prepared and practiced enough so that the actual presentation/speech feels almost like just practicing it one extra time.

I get so anxious when I answer my teacher's questions that my voice and hands would shake uncontrollably. It's not even limited to that, during presentations, reports, and public speaking as well. And yet when i think of doing those, like speak in front of a crowd, or do reports in my class, I would always find that I quite enjoy doing it. I would formulate what I would say. Even when answering my teacher, I would formulate an answer to it as I really enjoy speaking out, telling my opinion and answering questions. But when I actually decide to answer, my hands would shake uncontrollably. In all my presentations, I prepared thoroughly everything even going as far as watching videos to improve my speaking and add more info about my report. But in the end, my hands would continue to shake along with my voice that it becomes noticeable to my classmates, and more often than not affects my presentation. The process of preparing was fun, but presenting and speaking it, not so much. Idk what to do with it anymore because it always happens no matter what I do. Edit: I am watching this video in hopes that these tips would work out. I have an upcoming extemporaneous speech this monday and I'm really nervous.

It’s OK when things go wrong it’s not the end of the world and in any future event that you have to present in front of an audience, you will do OK and even if you do not do OK it’s not the end of the world. Keep doing what you have to do be proud of yourself that you never gave up

This will be my retirement job, coaching presentations. Last week I was scheduled to present and was NOT AT ALL prepared. Was hyperventilating as the other speakers gave their presentations. They went over in time and the meeting was paused and part two was scheduled for the next week (I BELIEVE IN GOD!). I wrote a script, practiced it, tweaked it, had fun with it, and figured out some other tips that are MINE to keep and use in my business. When the next person was finished presenting, the head of our dept. told them to present the data the way I did next time. Not a huge shout out, but man, what a difference from Tuesday to the following Monday.

So great to hear that, kayla. I'm glad it went well for you. Thanks for reporting back to us here. Keep looking for opportunities to speak. It's a great skill for so many reasons. I just posted a video today about the Importance of Public Speaking. No pressure to watch it but it might encourage you to keep building your skills.

im having a huge presentation this tuesday. At first I didn't really care about it, but as the date comes closer im getting nervous. When I was practicing it at home I did really good job. But it just annoys me that I need to do this. At least I know what I am talking about in this presentation, but still.. I hope I'll do a good job..

If you don't want to be nervous in a presentation just repeat to yourself they don't care they will forget about it they will be forced to be nice (only works in a classroom presentation)

@Penguinn_0.o_ Год назад

I would like to thank you for this video. I get nervous evertime when I'm into something, and like you said it was just the negative form of thoughts hitting my brain so hard, even my hand shakes for that moment. And now I feel like I'm not alone suffering this, my confidence really decreases due to overthinking and sometimes I cannot handle it.

In elementary and middle school I was always so nervous I feel like a 10/10 my stomach would hurt and that’s where most of my embarrassing public speaking moments came from. I remember 1 time when I was in 6th grade I wrote a decent presentation that o thought was bad because I had just wrote it the night before and I skipped through half of it and had minute long pauses and it was horrible, I realize now what I would have said wasn’t worse than like half the people that went before me and people remember it more when you do that.

@boybye9078 Год назад

I can relate to a few people in these comments, i have a presentation tomorrow it only lasts a few minthes 1-2 and its by myself, its 11pm rn i am terrifed i have bad anxiety and i start to panic i dont even know why i know people dont wven really care so i shouldnt worry that much at all but at the same time something causes it to happen and i hate it i try to tell myself i will be fine and i can do this no one will judge but i feel like I KNOW they are judging even if they arent i just wish anxiety abt this stuff never existed for people, another thing i was telling my friend how nervous and scared i am for this presentation tmr and shes like “omg you will be fine just stop” but she dont understand the struggles .

I‘m actually pretty good with giving presentations, but I‘m incredibly nervous and you CAN tell VERY WELL because my thigh muscle quite literally twitches so much that people have come up to me and asked me about it

@pratikdeshpande2000 4 года назад

I too get nervous a lot when I stand in public or on stage to say something and bit shaking of hands and fastly pumping heart one thing that just comes to my mind is to just stop what I 'm want to conveying and think to just get of that situation and mostly happen when I convey a thing in strange public although it dam ok for me to convey or guide my friends zone .....

After watching this video, I feel like I could give a TedTalk. Great practical advice!

@Ebonyqwe 3 года назад

I meditate before I get up, and then concentrate on my breathing being slow and calm. I then tell myself I feel great and I am great. Even though I don’t believe it, saying it makes it feel real and very importantly leaves no space for my normal negative voice telling me it’s going to be a disaster. That negative voice is not WHO you are, people who don’t get nervous are either 1. lucky enough to have a supportive inner voice and these people will never be able to understand the internal battle that others are fighting. Or 2. They are overruling the negative voice successfully. I recommend reading the power of now by Elkhart Tolle.

I have shown dogs in a variety of sports for several decades and all these things are true. Practice! Practice! Practice! If you are prepared ahead of time for what you are doing, the nerves are a lot less. Prepare ahead of time what you are going to wear and say and do and nerves are less. Prepare everything down to every detail and then nerves are less. I actually prefer performing in front of a crown because that is the fun part. Showing a great dog in a great sport in front of a great audience.
