Public Speaking Skills Training: Presentation and Public Speaking

When you are giving business presentations or talking in public, you always get the chills and the thrills. That is normal but what is not normal is when you freak out at the sight of a thousand people watching you all because you are afraid that you might make a fool out of yourself. The following are tricks to keep your cool when you are in front of people at the stage.

Give special attention to your intro. It is your warm up exercise and then you can fully blast on with your speech right after your intro. Take the time to crack a joke or even introduce yourself even if the host has introduced you. You can even talk about how you got their or how afraid you are right at that moment.

The moment when things go out of hand is the moment we always fear which is why you need to be prepared with everything right down to every detail. Check your visuals and see if it is in the right order. You should also ask the production to double check their equipment so that there will be no slip-ups on their part too.

Anticipate problems and have multiple solutions with you. If anything goes wrong and most of the time it will, have the necessary preparations ready so that you can continue on with your presentation. Always have a plan in mind if something goes wrong.

Arrive at the area of presentation as early as possible. This will help you get the feel of the place and you will not be shocked at how large the audience is and how wide the place will be. You will get to have a good look at your presentation in the audiences' eyes.

A lot of presenters really admit that having a large audience makes them feel the pressure more and adds up to the feeling of stage fright. The trick here is to search for faces that seem to be interested in what you are saying and look at them from time to time. It will isolate yourself and your listeners so that you will have the feeling that you are simply talking to your single listener on a personal level.

Do not apologize for being nervous. The last thing you should do is to say sorry that you are currently nervous. Bringing attention to your nervousness will only precipitate the feeling.

And lastly, watch what you eat. Stage fright causes anxiety which later causes stress to your stomach. If you have eaten foods that makes you jittery, you might throw up in front of the audience.
