Ways to relax when speaking to people?
Answer:
In the Air Force, we have to go through leadership courses. Part of these courses are giving speaches. We go through three of these courses in our career. The first time I went though, we had 3 speaches to give. I remembering being nervous and just babbled whatever to fill the requirements. it wasn't like I really knew anything, I just got up there and spoke for a few minutes. I didn't look around, or anything, I just stared off. I see others do that, it makes a boring speech.
The second time, it happened by accident, but we had 4 speeches to do. The first wasn't graded, but you went up and talked about a subject. The second time, I made an unintentional joke, but people laughed, so it made me feel more comfortable. So the next two speeches I did, I tried to put a little humor in it, but also if you seem to know what you are talking about, people will listen. It was that that gave me confidence.
If you are talking in front of strangers, treat them like they are your friends. You have to get up in front of them, and they have to sit there and listen to you. So, you can use that to your advantage, but you have to look like you know what you are talking about. If you um and aw, then you will lose your audience, and then you will be more nervous, because they will make you more uncomfortable. If you treat them like they are all friends, then you can be more at ease with them, and relax. At least, it worked with me.
ok im still young but ive found an awesome effective way for everyone to speak to addiences. if you are up in front of a lot of people, take a deep breath and look at the wall behind the people. dont look at the people just look behind them. tht ALWAYS helped me during class
Know your subject so well you feel like an expert. If someone still asks a question you can't answer, be honest and calmly say you don't know, but will be glad to get the answer for them.
Take deep breaths before the speech.
If you're staring at a wall, that will be noticed. If you can't glance at people they won't feel like you're talking to them.
Good luck!
you can picture them in their underwear, just stay calm and take deep breaths and say i can do this. Think about the conversation in your head for a second and think if i say this is it going to sound weird. just ask your self in your head before you say it. I am sort of nervous around people too but i just do those 3 things and it is a whole lot easier. Good luck!! =) -kasey
See shyness, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris... on page 9, and the self confidence websites, on page 2.
You must have confidence. Practice things that you might say, read up on current events. Wear RED. Red gives the illusion of confidence and it somehow makes you feel confident inside. Lastly, believe in yourself that you have something important to say and that you are a worthwhile person in which people enjoy being around. It's all psychological.
I get nervous too.I'd say JUST BREATHE. Have you seen the movie "Ever After" It's great.
