Some people, due to their studies or services, have to speak to an audience in order to play a role, read a report or an informational message. But not everyone before entering the stage is absolutely self-confident. There are people who are afraid to appear in front of the audience. What are the ways to deal effectively with the fear of public speaking?
Instruction manual
one
Free yourself from the personal complexes and fears that torment and gnaw you. Do not be afraid not to please someone or seem ridiculous, ridiculous. To do this, begin to fully love and value your personality, accept yourself with all the advantages and disadvantages. Stop taking criticism to your heart. Understand in advance that people will say all about you: both bad and good. Morally prepare for a possible failure or negative feedback about your speech. Develop self-confidence and strong-willed qualities.

Going on stage, imagine that you are talking with a close friend or girlfriend in your usual environment, for example, having a cup of coffee in the kitchen. In addition, before starting the action for effective relaxation, you can use special breathing and relaxing exercises. For example, some actors and vocalists alternate deep breaths with holding their breath and then exhaling.

Practice more often in daily public speaking. To do this, arrange imaginary performances and ask your friends from time to time to turn into an audience, meeting and seeing you off with a standing ovation. Arrange yourself and other workouts. For example, do not hesitate to ask various questions from people in public places, for example, standing in line.

Actively participate in the social life of one or more groups. Try to take some important and responsible post. The more often you interact with a large number of people, the earlier you become free, feel free and stop being afraid of performances.
