INTRODUCTION
TO PUBLIC SPEAKING
 Developing Confidence
• Stage fright- the anxiety over the
prospect of giving a speech in front
of an audience
Forty percent identified speaking before a
group as their top fear, exceeded only by the
51 percent who said they were afraid of
snakes. A 2005 survey produced similar
results, with 42 percent of respondents being
terrified by the prospect of speaking in public.
In comparison, only 28 percent said they
were afraid of dying.

TIPS TO DEALING WITH NERVOUSNESS IN YOUR FIRST SPEECHES

 Be at your best physically and mentally. It is not a good idea to stay up until 2:00 A.M. partying
with friends or cramming for an exam the night before your speech. A good night’s sleep will
serve you better.
 As you are waiting to speak, quietly tighten and relax your leg muscles, or squeeze your hands
together and then release them. Such actions help reduce tension by providing an outlet for your
extra adrenaline.
 Take a couple slow, deep breaths before you start to speak. Most people, when they are tense,
take short, shallow breaths, which only reinforces their anxiety. Deep breathing breaks this cycle
of tension and helps calm your nerves.

TIPS TO DEALING WITH NERVOUSNESS IN YOUR FIRST SPEECHES

 Work especially hard on your introduction. Research has shown that a speaker’s anxiety level
begins to drop significantly after the first 30 to 60 seconds of a presentation. Once you get
through the introduction, you should find smoother sailing the rest of the way.
 Make eye contact with members of your audience. Remember that they are individual people, not
a blur of faces. And they are your friends.
 Concentrate on communicating with your audience rather than worrying about your stage fright. If
you get caught up in your speech, your audience will too.
 Use visual aids. They create interest, draw attention away from you, and make you feel less self-
conscious.
