Public Speaking Skills Training: Breaking Your Fear of Public Speaking With the Help of Friends
If you are in the situation where you are required to deliver a speech for work or a social function and are very much dreading the idea of speaking in front of people then call on the ears of your friends.
In 3 short steps
· Start with talking in front of 2 friends at the same table
· When you start to feel comfortable, increase the number of friends to 3, 4 and up until 10 in a group
· Remember to focus on your audience, not how you perform
When you give speech ultimately you want to connect with your audience and deliver your material with confidence. The more you know your material, the more confident you will be and the fear of forgetting what to say next would dissipate gradually. This is part of overcoming the fear of stage fright, or rather, the fear of talking to more than one person.
Start with practicing your short speech with two friends whom you trust, or feel comfortable with. Make sure they are supportive and someone you can rely on for constructive feedback. The speech doesn't have to be long, and neither does it have to be highly professional, formal or intellectual. A simple speech on current events is enough to get this simple exercise started. Consider this a fitness program for your public speaking persona.
When you become comfortable with speaking to two people, raise the bar - talk to groups of four over a cup of coffee. Again, the speech does not have to be highly intellectual, formal or professional. Contrary to popular opinion, when people think of 'public speaking' they think of formal speeches they often hear in a toastmaster's session, or a high level debate between two oppositions. The truth cannot get any further from that. Public speaking is just that, conveying your message effectively to the masses. And you don't have to be highly formal in the way you talk or necessarily the way you dress.
Again, it's worth repeating that you should focus on your audience, whether the group is small or big. Assess your feelings of anxiety, and strengthen and areas that need improvement such as voice n body language. Always remember that your speech doesn't have to be 100% perfect. It will naturally improve as you make more short speeches, and have confident that you are learning enabled.
