Advice on Public Speaking- oral or spoken presentation

 

It’s very normal to feel nervous about talking to a group.

Everybody is scared or at least wary of speaking in public.

 

VOCAB wary of = nervous/worried about   

 

#1 fear of most people is public speaking

 

If you feel nervous, you are in good company.

 

-when faced with an opportunity to do some public speaking

-autonomic responses – unconscious, automatic body responses

somatic- in the body

 

responses that we can’t control

-                      bad dreams the night before

-                      hard to get to sleep the night before

-                      nervousness

-                      heart racing

-                      upset stomach

-                      knot in your stomach

-                      butterflies in your stomach

-                      jittery hands, shaky hands

-                      sweating

-                      clammy hands

-                      voice cracks

-                      have to go to the bathroom

-                      red face, blush, flush

-                      mind goes blank

-                      feel faint, dizzy, light-headed

-                      crying

-                      laughing

-                      pacing, moving a lot

 

 

These are normal and predicable responses.

Most of us are all in the same boat here. We are in the same shoes.

IDIOM in good company, in the same boat, in the same shoes- we all share the same experience

 

REMEMBER: We’re all on your side. Everybody wants you to do well.

 

Try to relax, if possible.

 

We are interested in what you have to say.

 

If you mess up, just take a second. Take a moment. Take a deep breath.

We’ll wait.

Then keep going.

 

No need to apologize. Don’t apologize.
