Public Speaking Skills Training: Scared of Public Speaking? 3 Public Speaking Course Tips to Conquer the Fear!

Are you the type of person that has a panic attack before you give a speech? Well, you're not alone. Lots of people are scared of public speaking, Even I was at one point. In fact, it's the number one fear for many people, it even tops death! In this article, I am going to go over some public speaking tips and tricks that helped me to get over my fear of giving a speech in public.

Practice:

When I first began researching public speaking and how to stop fearing it; much of the research I read really emphasized is the importance of practicing your speeches. Now, I don't mean just practice it once the night before and hope it goes well. That's not practicing; that is just wishful thinking. You may be asking "How is practicing my speech going to help me to stop being scared of public speaking?" Well, just like anything else in life, the more you do something the better you get. Speech is no different, and the better you get the more your confidence goes up and you can relax when giving your speech because you know you're prepared.

Get An Audience:

Another thing much of the research I read talked about was the importance of practicing in front of audience often. What I do, is practice in front of people I am comfortable with such as friends, or family. I do this because I know they will give be reliable feedback. (It's important not to practice in front of people that are purposely going to patronize you just for kicks and giggles because you won't get any decent feedback, and your confidence will go down.) Practicing in front of an audience helps you to stop being scared of public speaking because you realize that nothing bad happened to you. You didn't die, pass out, or throw up.

Find A Coach:

Another thing I learned from my research was to find a coach. Someone who isn't scared of public speaking and someone who can teach you the ins and outs of speaking in public. By doing this, you will learn what you are doing wrong and correct it. You will also learn what you are doing right and how to make it even better. That being said, it's important to find someone that has a proven track record of success when it comes to giving speeches.

In conclusion, the three tips that I shared with you in this article have helped me not to be scared of public speaking anymore. If you really have an interest in speech and desire to go deeper into the subject, I would like to suggest to you that you find more information on public speaking coaches. I personally have a public speaking coach, and I have noticed that I am much calmer when giving a speech, much more organized, and I can capture the audience’s attention better.
