Giving a speech is one of the top fears, yah daa, yah daa, yah daa! Same story different day. Part of the problem with a fear of speaking is that you the speaker (often it is me) feel as if we will be 'found out.' That people will finally realize that we really are dumb, or inarticulate, or worst that we really do not know what we are talking about! If people think we do not know what we are talking about, we think we will lose something...credibility, a job, lose face, and disappoint those around us.

Here is a sure fire way to prepare for that talk or speech. It is a method to prime the pump so to speak. It is used by stand up comedians and other performing artists. Before you do your BIG speech or give your talk, give the talk to a strange audience! Do it (the speech that is) in front of strangers. Where do you find these strangers you may be asking? Go to your local Toastmasters and attend as a guest. Ask if you may participate in that meeting. Let them know that you have a big speaking event coming up and you want to give a portion of your speech and ask for feedback. Most likely, the Toastmasters group will allow you to practice as they 샌즈카지노 see you as a potential member for their club.
Another venue is a coffeeshop open mic either near your home or far away (depending on the subject matter of your speech) Check out your local Friday magazine for open mics in your area. You do not have to give 'the speech' simply getting up in front
