| Stage Fright |
The very thought of speaking in public make some people nervous. This is not necesarily a bad thing. When nervousness gets out of control with adrenalin pumping madly in the body it can paralyse the speaker, when controlled, on the other hand it can lift the speakers performance.
Nervouseness can manifest itself in several ways. You may feel tense in your neck and shoulder, your mouth may feel dry or start to produce saliva. Your teeths may wobble, your chest may feel tight, your heart may beat faster and you may have difficulty in drawing breathe.
needless to say that all these effects wil not allow you to give the best outcome of your speech.
Here are then some useful tips on how you can deal with stage freight:
- Visualize a positive outcome from your speech.
- Think what may go wrong with you while delivering the talk and plan to work on that accordingly
- Think like your audience and come up with questions they can ask you. Accordingly plan for those questions and how to answer.
- Be focussed on the topic that you have to speak on, remember the main goal of the topic should not be deviated form while giving examples and referance stories.
- Never let the crowd's attention make you feel over concious. This may bring down your confidence tremendously. The best way to avoid this is to practice in front of a mirror before you actually deliver your speech.
- Maintain a decent eye contact through out the speech.
- Ask questions, throw scenarios to your audience, this may release your pressure to deliver the speech.
