I’m an extremely extroverted person and love talking to people. I have no problems conversing and cracking lame jokes, but as soon as I have to follow some criteria of reading off of a paper or slideshow my heart just goes into overdrive and I can’t think when I speak. Usually I do fine but I still hate the feeling.
Same here
Yea there’s something about not having any control over how long you have to talk that makes it so much worse
Me too. I tend to approach and socialize with a group of people. But as soon as i stand up in front of 15 or more people and have to make a speech, my lungs start losing air, the pitch of my voice goes higher, tongue feels heavier, and my mind goes through a complete breakdown because it notices that they are staring at me while I’m going through that horror. 😂
20 seconds later, i feel much better and i finish my speech with no problem.
My problem is just the first 20 seconds.
This explains my issue exactly.
Neither am i
I don’t think you understand the feeling. Heart pounding, getting hot while it’s cold, ears hot and ringing, shaking (my hands). Mind you, I have to present tomorrow! In front of about 30 of my peers. I hate the fact i have speech anxiety it’s so embarrassing. Im 18 and never seemed to overcome it. I have my presentation ready but when I get on the stage I freeze. Gosh if I could, I’d take all my anxiety away. Literally crying rn because I have to present in a few hours but I’d rather skip out on school than do it.
I'm also really scared of presenting but I'm fine with talking to people in public I don't know. This year I'm having 11 presentations and 1 of them is going to be a portfolio presentaion which I have no idea what is it but we will go in a giant classroom with chairs and I will have to present to 10 or more families and a few high schoolers. I'm rlly scared even tho it's in like a year or to, also I'm in 7th grade right now.
@@kikigondwe2529 I get you. I’ve had this issue my whole like and I’m 25 right now. I will say that I’ve noticed as I put myself outside of my confort zone more and more in low-stakes environments I improve a bit more each time. Good luck!
I’m 22 and at this point I’ve probably done it more than 20 times in my life (once last week one more to go tomorrow ), but still always get very nervous when going up on stage and a bunch of people stare at me.
First day of class be like
Teacher: okay class please introduce yourself
Me: 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰
😭😂
I fucking hate it damn. I'm like why why WHYYYYYYYY 😂😂
I have gone through the comment section and realised that there are so many people out there facing the same problem as me… it feels good and bad at the same time 😭
@@SecretlifeofIsha yes my friend you're not alone:)
Straightforward and helpful.
But the most effective way to deliver a speech without anxiety is to not give a fuck about what anyone in the audience thinks about your appearance and the arguments you are making.
You are not interested in being right or wrong, you are focused in delivering your points.
I’ve always known this is a solution but my problem is the “HOW”😂
@@zodumolunika1063 I imagina them having massive diarrhea or taking a big shit. Every human in that room has had something embarrassing like that going on and it helps put things in perspective
Woah lovely
@@SunshineSyzygyi will try this😂
I feel extremely terrible when it comes to public speaking. I hear it is a common thing with many people. The funny thing is, however, i have never met anyone with this issue other than me. Therefore, either it isn't so common (and that would make me feel worse) or the extreme emotions within aren't that noticeable. Either way, this feeling of the lack of control sucks! I wish you all the best.
Very common and very normal! You are NOT alone 🙏
You are not alone i reel it very deep
You are not alone, whatsoever..
You are not alone…. I have the same issue.
Bro this happened to me last year and I haven’t been the same since. I’m now determined to overcome this by volunteering to read as much as possible. The feeling is awful and it won’t go away 😢
this is not a scientific response, but there seems to be a loophole in my speaking anxiety. If I see or imagine someone who is way more anxious than I am, I take on the responsibility to calm them for the both of us. There's a person at school who shakes with anxiety when talking to people and somehow the compassion I feel towards them calms me, and I'm able to be calm talking to them and to others. IDK why or if this will work or you, but I'm just throwing it out there because it's immensely helpful to me
@@SunshineSyzygyOmg this definitely helped. Today I read out two paragraphs and IT WENT AMAZING. TYSM! I ACTUALLY THINK MY ANXIETY GONE-
i was always good at debate i won multiple prizes but after quitting debate this year i tried to debate in school and holy my hands and legs were shaking and i made a fool of myself my classmates cracked jokes about me and since then my anxiety started and im dying to get rid of that feeling the loud heartbeats,shaking hands,fast talks
Once I was so scared that I took a shot of vodka before going to the stage. It worked, but it's not very sustainable!
I can't control my fear when giving presentations 😢. My voice begins to shake and my faces turns dark. I don't know how to control. I think most people don't understand how I encounter.
I have a speech in less than an hour. The timing of this
Yes! Great 👍 remember to hold that exhale out as long as you can first! 🤜🤛
Hopefully went great huh?
@@ImproveYourVoice Thanks! It definitley helped!
@@timmypannu Great might be an exaggeration but I did survive :D
Public speaking literally makes my throat close up. And the only way I can talk is to constantly clear my throat, or force the words out which makes my voice crack and shake. I have a local history presentation coming up in October. Something I want to do but I'm already terrified. To the point that I'm having difficulty preparing. I know if I don't make myself do it I will only regret it. 😞
Have you ever tried hypnotherapy? Can be very useful in these circumstances!
I have the same, sometimes my throat just closes
I just messed up my presentation. Although I’ve memorized everything very well, one thing could easily drag the other. Keep in mind I spoke in English during my presentation and that it is my second language, so I am sure that played a factor into why I wasn’t confident of my speech even though I’ve made sure of everything, but still it felt like I was doing something wrong or was missing something
@@yumtaco7376 i hate myself i also feel the same thing as you
Trying this one out next Tuesday for my presentation. Hope this helps, it's always so frustrating and discouraging when you've prepared really well but speech anxiety causes you to mess up in the end...
How did it go.
@@growqueen Quite well actually, I was still nervous but I didn't freeze up or anything, so definitely better than usual!
@@saferoundhouse5910 glad to hear!!, keep it up man
I'm the same way. I get a lump in my throat and it's literally hard for me to breath. I hate it. I've had good and bad meetings which I don't get why I can't just get over it since I've done it good many times. But that fear of that "one time" I messed up cripples me.
@@andys3035same problem. how long have you been attending meetings
Tomorrow I have a presentation and I’m watching a ton of videos to help me overcome my anxiety. I’ll try this
Did it work?
Do u remember how it went ? Just curious
I really tried to follow the advices but actually the professor took a point out of my note because I couldn’t kept eye contact
@@chxzzh tomorrow i have presentation 😭
😢i have a presentation tomorrow
I Often feel anxious at certain places, and cant talk properly at that time.. I always talk unclear words and pronounce the words improperly. I am still struggling with it, but i am trying to change it.. May be in future i will manage to change it
Thank you so much ..... I saw this video 3days ago before my interview ... I cracked my interview and got my first job. I kept doing this all the way through my waiting time. Ty so much❤❤❤❤
Great job!
Just applied this method right before a phone call with an HR. I found myself more confident and not trying to floundering for words.. Great technique indeed.
I am feeling the same. I am stuck to take actions. I feel nervous to attend or answer HR call. I can speak decent in english language but whenever I try to speak with HR or reqruiter, I get stuck.🥺
I have a presentation i have to do in my english AA, I'm worried about it bc usually when I do it, I run out of breath really fast, my voice sounds really shaky, and my heart pounds so much, what can help with this, I really need to do something about that before I do my presentation in 2 weeks
Definitely will try this later today . I have extreme anxiety while public speaking . It’s So bad my voice will tremble all the way and cold sweat all over 😢 no matter how much I try to calm myself
Same here. My voice trembles hard. Sometimes I even forget what I was saying and I can't construct a word in English or any other language.
Same with me as i am extremely introverted person
it's easy for me to have a conversation with people or a small group but when it comes to me being the center of attention and people start cheering and clapping my face starts doing weird expressions showing the anxiety i'm feeling and I can't control it, I had enough today got home mad because of it.
This actually works, i have tried this earlier during my interview, i cracked the interview ...❤
Boom! Tell your friends :)
My God just even by reading these comments and thinkinga bour it brings tears and makes my heart race.
:/ idk if I have this anxiety but I have a mumble,stutter, mummer etc issue whenever I speak and I find myself having to rehearse the simplest lines for everyday life in order to say them properly. It feels like my mouth muscles are just spasming. Idk if that's an anxiety issue or smth else.
They can be interconnected. Why don't you try the week on breath and see how it affects you?
@@ImproveYourVoice sure thing!
See you there!
I used to stutter often, and then it reduced when I stopped trying to fix it. When you allow what you fear, the fear no longer has no control over you. Rigid beliefs of " I must not stutter" or "I absolutely must not make these mistakes", make us focus too much on what could go "wrong", and the fear then makes it harder to behave naturally, and authentically. When you make friends with your fears, they immediately stop being being fears.
Great words. Your mind will go where you focus!
I am a very introverted person and tomorrow I am going to give a speech, today I am very nervous.
Just breathe out more every time then anxiety builds. It will lessen when you don’t feed it! 😉
I have this presentation for my avid class and ive literaly dreaded this whole week. Ima very outgoing and loving person and i love cracking dumb jokes with my friends in public and heck sometimes i even do something embarrassing but there's something i cant describe abt the certain type of anxiety that public speaking brings me. I had a previous traumatic experience while presenting earier this year that i think made me traumatized because i was totally fine before but ever since then i feel like all my confidence for public speaking has been taken away from me. its really affecting my mental health and i told my teacher but since this is a class for geting u ready for college his theory is that we have to practice public presenting now. So now hes forcing me to present unless i lose credit for the whole project which he graded 50/50 points for on google classroom. its so wack but i literally hate the anxiety that one event caused me.
how did it go
I have exactly the same! How did it go?
Im exactly the same. I dropped out of the class the first day and ever since then my anxiety and nerves have overtooken everything from me
I guess I should probably update you guys on how it went. I didn't present. I felt bad but I knew I wasnt ready and that was ok. Sure I might not like this version of me but if I dont love it no one will. So im working on my self esteem and people skills to overcome this. I have avid again next year and even though im nervous im
Sure ill be ok.
It’s good that you recognise this my friend. Time will help you ease in to future situations. Working on your self is so crucial for us all! 🙏👍🙏
It really works.
In my first presentation I was very nervous and my hand was shaking.Then I applied this technique before my 2nd presentation. Surprisingly I was calm and was less nervous than before. The presentation went very well.
Boom! So you’ll use it again then right?
@@ImproveYourVoice I am gonna try it for my presentation tmrw
My school is fairly large and about a 1000 people are gonna be present. I have rehearsed a lot but still I have butterflies in my stomach and I can't sleep
@@ItzCalamityYT08 How did the presentation go?
Just came from a presentation where I was soooo nervous and it went terrible:( but I’m gonna do better!!
Yessss!
I have a important presentation next year in may. I'm a very introverted person. I don't have any friends and i never speak at school. ok, when i have to speak with the teacher i speak with them but also very silent. but if someone tries to talk with me, is it a teacher or a student, i cant open my mouth. i'm starting to feel anxious, very warm and i'm starting to shake a bit. i have this feeling everytime someone speaks to me, someone looks at me for a long time or when i hear people talk about me. but mostly when i have to talk. i think many people in my class never even heard me speak. i also never eat or drink when people are nearby. i'm so fcking scared about the presentation. I'm really scared because I'm scared that I won't be able to open my mouth during the presentation
@@MP3_bludd0 My symptoms are very similar to you. I am 32 years old and my life is stuck because of these issues.
Why speech is important?????
I hate this modernize world.
It’s less important than it’s ever been so you can’t blame the Morden world.
Thank you for this fast, clear and simple exercise. I have two important presentations coming up with a series of video consultations before those. Def saving in my downloads for reference when I need it.
Excellent! There’s a whole bunch more in the free breath week if you sign up below! 🤘😁
@@ImproveYourVoice I signed up. Excited to hear more.
Cool 😎
it's easy for me to have a conversation with people or a small group but when it comes to me being the center of attention and people start cheering and clapping my face starts doing weird expressions showing the anxiety i'm feeling and I can't control it, I had enough today got home mad because of it.
One tip I found very helpful is to replace your anxiety with excitement. They are similar and with practice you can turn your anxiety into excitement and it really is a game changer.
I have a speech about this and even made a video on it! Totally agree 👍
am I the only when that cant imagine life after the presentation day. It feels like I am preparing my selft to die or something. I dont like this feeling.
Im a talkative person, but when it comes to presentation or even my prof ask me to read the first paragraph of the discussion, i always feel nervous, my mouth dry, and my voice sounds like im going to cry.... Fuck that feelings
I have a speech tomorrow... i get anxiety and fears they builds up like ur body is dragging u to the bottom of the ocean. This helps me i got a clearer mind and told myself, "Be calm no matter just speak normally and loud enough" this helps me a lot for tomorrow. Though I have a phobia of speaking in public like a public crowd, It's super-duper scary for me. Thank you so so much for this strategy!
I’m an hour away from giving a 20min presentation and I’m shitting myself 😅
@@jasonyoung9329 lol
@Jason Young it's so stressful. Hope you did well.
@@jasonyoung9329 Hope it went well!
I got a 2 page speech to give this Wednesday...wish me luck
My biggest problem is when im given attention and my mind knows that everyones attention is on me thats when i freeze, sweat,my voice becomes weird. God help me this is my goal for 2024 to overcome my fear, because Gods purpose for my life is to speak to people
i will try it for sure..i have a presentation on Wednesday..thank you
Great! Let me know how it goes. Or perhaps even sign up to the week on breath as that will help!
I tried doing everything to help me deep breathing grounding and nothing makes my anxiety go away
Thank you for this, the only technique so far that really prevents me from hyperventilating.
"Don't give speeches." Thank you! I needed this wisdom today.
Thank you for this video! I have a question, I'm a bit shy and when I talk to other people I tend to start talking faster and faster to the point that the other person can't understand a single word
What can I do to help me talk slower? I do this very often and It's something that I really want to change.
Actually breath control is still the best option in that scenario! Check out the week on breath via the sign up. It’s really useful stuff! 👍👍👍
@@ImproveYourVoice Thank you! I'm definitely going to do that.
See you there!
I used to talk a lot to people and do presentations very easily back in 2016, 2017... 2019. But suddently I started to have anxiety attacks every time I had to present something to more than 2 people. I don't think it's a panic attack because I don't feel like I'm gonna die. But I literally lose my breath and can't speak, it's ridiculous
I regularly hold meetings, but all of a sudden I can no longer make it through a meeting and have to quickly end it. I’ll start reading from my notes, then suddenly the words don’t come out, my voice goes shallow and I’m trying to push the words out. Then I get an overwhelming feeling of dread, and everyone is looking at me and noticing, then my eyes start to well up. It’s ridiculous and cannot understand why this now happens to me. I take CBD oil, Ashwagandha and I meditate. Does not help. I know it’s not ideal but I’ve started taking propranolol before a meeting, and am now cutting out coffee before holding a meeting. This doesn’t get rid of the anxiety but it enables me to finish my meetings. I will now try the breathing technique! Anyone else the same or have any other tips?
Is breathing in to your lower back called farting
Nah that’s breathing out!
This might sound ridiculous but i just got a from home call center job & for now im in the training period. The problem is every time im asked to read something out loud for my team i lose it: i start shaking uncontrollably, i can't breathe in at all & i can't focus on what im reading thus making mistakes and stuttering. Idk why that happens because i have no issue of casually speaking with my team. Do you think this exercise will work in this scenario?
If you can control your breath then you can control the physiological symptoms of anxiety and that can have a direct impact on your psychological perceptions. Try it out!
I feel the same way.
I just write down What I need to say… as usually have online presentations… I know it’s not perfect but it helps, I use it as prompter and not always follow the script. Add things so it doesn’t seem like reading.
I did this without even having a presentation yet and I feel really good. Thank you for this
My voice is so low and I need this types,
My main issue is that I forget words and sometimes jumble them up, like I'll say something like 'speak it over' instead of 'talk it over'. I catch it and correct myself when I can and it's not too late, and usually I'm not speaking with a native English speaker so it's fine. It's a growing concern of mine. Maybe it's just having been surrounded by so many non-native speakers. Perhaps they've destroyed my English!
Im feeling so so lost... if anyone can help me by giving any helpful tip or diagnose me with something... you are more than welcome
I used to recite in my class, im the best student to do so, my teacher regularly asks me to help the weak students, im always reciting loud and clear , ive been doing so for 6 months, and have no difficulty in it, and enjoy doing so
But from the past 1 week, im insufferable, like im sitting fine, but whenever my teacher asks me to revite suddenly my heart beat is too high , i lose control , my mind goes blank, my body is sweating and shaking, my voice is heavy im on the verge of tears breathless and cant recite even 2 3 lines... its really embarrassing as well as shocking for me as this never happened before... im unable to recite now and feel extremely embarrassed so if anyone can tell me to do something to calm my heart down a bit so that i can have some air in my lungs to recite those 2 3 lines it will be super helpfull..
No i do not think what others think of me or that others are judging me
I am going to give a bible study this Friday and even though I have done this various times this time it's different. I don't know 90 percent of the people who will be there, so I am afraid of being judged. This is the anxiety and nervousness I get but I know ones I get started it will all go away, and everything will be fine.
I do well with presentations and public speeches because I love passing a message to the audience. However, tomorrow I'm gonna do a presentation for a larger number of people than I am used to, in a place where I'm only used to being in the audience, not on the stage. I am not an anxious person, I'm indeed really calm and chill but the more I think about tomorrow, the more unprepared I feel. I am afraid of forgetting everything.
I'm trying to make videos with voice and I struggle so much, tysm for solution
I always ended up speaking something that even i can't remember. When i start speaking , i know at some point I'm using non logical word but still i try to keep going the conversation but at the half of my speech i starts to regret about my previous mistake and i ended up forgetting what i have to speak now everything went blank like idk what to speak anymore then I'll be like aah uuhmm yeaah😔
Do daily meditation for 10-15 mins
Good one!
Wow, and I thought I was the only one who gets nervous😅 This video is very helpful. Along with some of the other techniques. And for those who make these videos, the experts, if they’re under like three minutes, they’re more likely to give me to watch them.😊
Ps/ did my unnecessarily public speaking today, still nervous and shaken . My speech was unnecessary but I still did it so that I can overcome it . I fear I’ll be worse
I have my 2 hour presentation in two days again I spoke today so that it will be easier the day of presentation.
I’m not even energetic to prepare it anymore
And how about when someone by direct speach and suddenly happens this body troath chest sensations ? There is no chans to do this ecercises in front of ppl when ppl watching and whaiting for the speachs
i am on the phone a lot at work and i panic about having to do it in an office. i usually drink extra water just so i can nip to the toilet for 4 or so minutes and try to refresh
i have to give a speech in class tomorrow,it's really a bad feeling for introvert peson like me,hope this method can help me:(
I’m anxious when talking to someone I like. It’s hit or miss at times. I used to be so chill and smooth. Now I’m anxious and choppy. Not sure of myself at times.
Another problem is that I'm the only one that has speech anxiety in my class🤦
This doesn’t work because I’m shaking
I am really bad at explaining things any tips for this problem sir?
Expand your vocab by reading more books
If you do that whilst on stage your going to look like a confused homosexual
Glossophobia - fear of public speaking
I am still struggling with this problem.😢
I really need this for speech in class cause I'm running for business manager wish me luck and I hope this help
Im very nervous to talk someone idk how to remove this habit
Hey! Can u make a video on how to dpeak with a russian accent, I really wanna learn
I curtsied at the end of an internal job interview. I CURTSIED 🥴 i already work full time with this organization and part time with the department I interviewed for. I knew the interview panel and have conversations with them regularly. My thoughts and answers were scrambled eggs. I was goofy and weird because of my severe anxiety with public speaking and fear of not appearing competent. Enneagram 5 here!
After the interview, as I was replaying it over and over in my head, I realized I WAS THE ONE WHO CREATED THE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND PROCESS 2 years ago during a project to create this department… I don’t even want to show my face at work and am so disappointed in myself for fear I let them down with my poor performance. I am always complimented on my work ethic and job performance and received a stellar employee evaluation for the 5th year in a row. I already know the job and do it well. I am terrified that my poor interview performance will affect both areas of my job
Man i had to give a presentation today but didnt realize i prepared the wrong thing until i was in the classroom. Each person went up and had done their 3 min. Presentation and i was the last one. Knowing my presentation didnt follow the guidelines, i had to wing it and conform my presentation to the guidelines. I went up all nervous, heart pounding, and the minute i started talking i could hear my own voice. All i could focus on was my voice and had to look at my notes just to go back on track. To top it off, when i started to crack jokes noone laughed! I have never felt that nervous in my life. My instructor told me she didnt know why i was nervous, i presented well and that if i had prepared my presentation well in advance(mind you it was an prepared the prior day) that i wouldve killed it. At the end of the presentation, my nerves calmed down and realized i was overthinking it.
I'm watching this video because I've a speech today I've to share about me and about my background in front of Americans and it really make me nervous
But i hope I'll do my best
Inshallah...........❤
unfortunately, this didn't really help as i have glossophobia💀
Now how to not yawn!!!!! HELP
I’m so scared I used to not be a quiet person but idk why I became one and now it’s hard not to be quiet anymore and in class I have to give a presentation tomorrow and almost everyone in the class knows me as a “quiet student” so I’m so scared and I am going to try to do this I hope it helps 🤞

Thanks man, its works.
My issue is introducing myself in front of a small to large group. Heart pounding and my words just don’t come out as smooth.
Especially if your last right?
Yes
The feeling of anxiousness comes back every single time, hate it.
Great. So when I need to talk to people I'll just make them wait and say I need to breathe out so I can talk.😒
This really works😭 Tysm!
it makes me slightly dizzy, but i will try this next time before my set in open mic comedy
If u have anexity being social , it means u have given wrong and feearful emotions , to your mind ...
Try to replace it slowly by exiting , happy experiences related to stage speaking ...this willl surely help.......small Good experiences created good moments. ...it's all about what story you tell ur brain , it won't accept the god story now , after a time ofcourse yes
Do you know why every time i try to speak in front of someone or a class my throat will start hurting and feels likes I can't swallow then when i try to say something my voice goes really low where its hard for people to hear me. I want to be able to read my bell ringer answer to the teacher to get extra credits but it always happens.
Anxiety. Once you start facing your fear it slowly goes away.
@@fashiontrend3289 Oh ok thank you
I tried so hard to have friend because since i was little i was very lonely,but when i try to speak in front other people,i feel nervous and my voice sounds very weird,it makes people laugh at me and thought im a weirdo.😢😢
These type of breathing techniques wont work on me in fact they make me more nervous
How so?
@@ImproveYourVoice idk my brain makes me feel like im doing an extra job and that makes me uneasy and nervous
Sounds like you’re too. I h in your head and not enough giving in to your body! If you do these properly you stop thinking about the other stuff!
