The best way to conquer stage fright is to know
what you're talking about.
Micheal Mescon
Many people suffer
from shyness to speak in front of an audience . It is also called stage fright.
Technically it is called 'glossophobia'.
Such people will undergo intense anxiety prior to or during his speech and will
avoid any occasion requiring his speech and expression. Some people will also
experience distress, nausea or feelings of panic even when they think of an
occasion requiring their speech!
I give below
some useful ideas to deal with stage fear:
- Overcoming stage fear
is a self initiated and self monitored exercise.
- The antidote is speech
anxiety is speaking often and not avoiding speaking.
- Most speech anxiety is
due to lack of preparation and practice. When you prepare well and
practice, your anxiety will come down.
- Think positively and
believe you are going to deliver a good speech and not that you are going
to fumble and make mistakes.
- Get out of the feeling
that others are waiting to criticise and find fault with you.
- Focus on your speech
and not how others are going to evaluate.
It will be
useful to undergo a formal training on public speaking where people will teach
you how to overcome stage fear.
