The practical advice on reducing physical anxiety is spot on. One advanced tip is to practice 'box breathing' before presentations, which helps control the nervous system and keeps you centered.
I have forced my self to welcome the physical symptoms before a presentation, exam or similar. I tell myself, this is a sign that this is important to me, and that you I do well because of it.
Man...I've ALWAYS struggled with topics for small talk, my mind immediately just goes blank. And as a Jason, i really felt like that last question was directed towards me specifically, thanks so much i cant wait to try these exercises out
@@Bdosy-wm9yj where do you live mate coz i think you live a very rich lifestyle unlike mine!😄😄 i live in india where 50$ is worth around 4000 rupees and as a teenager it is reallyyyy expensiveee... i know its as asset but you know i am a teen and not an income generating adult
The difference between scared and excited is the perceived outcome. As you said changing that outcome in your head will change the reaction to your feelings Also the question "what do you like to do in your free time", im not sure uf got it from you in an earlier video or elsewhere but i love this question and it works so well in casual chat but in business networking events its really strong as different to what others ask so makes you stand out
Thank you sir , found your channel just 1 day ago and I've already seen so much of your videos, I've started practising on my accent as you taught in one of your videos to practice with tongue twisters and I feel it'll work , thanks again. ☺ ✌
Just discovered your channel and this video is great as all yours seem to be! One note, you have times in this video in particular (and a couple others) where you lean too close to the mic, and it peaks and sounds harsh and distorted, and I don't have to tell you the importance of how one sounds in a presentation. I recommend lowering your mic gain a bit and putting a *compressor on your mic, which will raise the volume when it's too low and lower the volume when it's too high. Thanks for all the great info and inspiration, I'm excited to continue discovering all you have to teach!
Hello Vinh, Im not sure if this is related to what you teach, but how do you demand respect from someone who won’t give it to you? Not just for public speaking, but casual settings too? For example, a person might try to tease you or humiliate you in a way that makes it seem like what you have to say doesn’t matter in a group conversation.

Question #2. You're eye to eye with a real tiger in the forest - your audience. Your fight or flight mode has just got turned on. Adrenaline glands in action. Vinh's solution is spot on - it's all in the mind. This goes away through practice. I was horrible. I delivered 45 min. slideshows each evening lights turned off. Helps when you have control over your topic or subject matter. I got really good and was able to field questions left right and centre. After many years, I am sure my stage freight is back:)🤣
I’m really good at the presentation and also the way I explain and event he eye contact but the problem is my language I mean because their English is my second language sometimes I forget my words even I am introvert person
Hi Vinh! Hoping to get some wisdom from you for a problem I've been facing. As a teenager, I used to be comfortable accidentally interrupting others (e.g. saying something at the same time to reply in a group). Now however, I've developed this inner mechanism that makes me only say something when there's been silence for at least 3 seconds. This seems ok, but has resulted in many instances where I'm always silent in group talks. How can I work on this?
First question sounds that it comes from a place of wanting to give information, regardless if they are in a place to be giving anything. Rather than a place of 'oh hey, I don't know anything about this topic. Perhaps I should be curious and ask questions SO THAT I THEN KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE TOPIC' 😒
love your content vinh, but honestly, if i were 2 physicist and someone ask me that question about the differene between the 2, i would just ignore and walk away, i thin this happens 100 percent of the time, is there any realistic way vinh, i love your stuff but its all very not real world scenarios
Vinh! Your audio gain is too high. Noticed this in your recent webinar. You have a great voice, but your audio keeps clipping so it's super fatiguing to listen to. Also noticed an issue with it on your podcast (Ali was super soft and you were clipping) Just thought I'd let you know mate.
Poor, poor microphone... Vinh, you need to know how to set up your microphone. It seems like the settings are so messed up, that you always have more noise than you should have. Or your microphone is too sensitive for your voice. If you need help on that, find someone to support you on this. Also, happy to help, but I'm in Europe.
if you're running out of things to text maybe just stop texting (unless you're a clinically prescribed boring person then you can just start by ... do you ever think how ..(insert generic natural phenomenon or recent news event here))
Waaaay too many tics. Touching hair, touching nose, hiking shirt. Hiking glasses 37 times. I teach people who want to be speakers to become aware of and eliminate these tendencies. They are distracting.
Interesting! I hadn't even _noticed_ most of that, so didn't find it distracting. (I did notice Vinh touching his shirt, but to me that wasn't a big deal, because his message was _easily_ valuable enough to outweigh the issue.) I'm guessing the vast majority of other viewers aren't distracted either - otherwise there wouldn't _be_ as many viewers! (People would simply go elsewhere if they disliked what they saw.) Mind you, I’d guess Vinh might agree with you, and work to reduce his tics (just like he’s removed verbal distractions). Still, being very attuned to tics (e.g. having _counted_ his glasses-touches) means you notice them far more, and so are distracted by them. That very much reminds me of the “Ah counter” role, which some Toastmasters clubs assign to an attendee. Are you a Toastmasters member, by any chance? Toastmasters are often highly attached to speaking canons (rules) - at the _expense_ of content. My view is, when content and charisma are as highly-developed as Vinh's, canons count for far less. P.S. To read about one common canon, paste the phrase "Toastmasters say not to thank your audience at the end of your talk" into Google (with the quote marks). There’s only one search result, in which I share clips of 3 talks that end with the speaker saying "Thanks", yet they have well over 130 _million_ combined views on TED.COM (never mind on TH-cam). So although ending with “Thanks” isn’t ideal, nor is it a big problem - despite Toastmasters’ advice.

This is an excellent video! Great pearls of advice here. Thanks Vinh.
Loved the tip about transcribing natural speech to then be able to reuse similar wording on stage.
Someone with my name asks a question that I absolutely would have asked, and then find out Vinh is in Adelaide also... This was quite the video!
Great advice, thanks! I wonder if the audio wasn't as good as normal.
I'm so glad you tie in mindset. Fantastic!

what's wrong with your mic?
Gain set too high maybe? Very noticeable this episode.
First question sounds that it comes from a place of wanting to give information, regardless if they are in a place to be giving anything.
Rather than a place of 'oh hey, I don't know anything about this topic. Perhaps I should be curious and ask questions SO THAT I THEN KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE TOPIC'
😒
Thanks
audio is off...
Dinkleberg!
6:20 how to type the spoken (informal) language
Where or how do we a question?
you're speaking too close to the mic, it sounds mildly distorted at times. makes it hard to keep at a regular volume
What’s this clip from
Was it only 11 minutes long?
love your content vinh, but honestly, if i were 2 physicist and someone ask me that question about the differene between the 2, i would just ignore and walk away, i thin this happens 100 percent of the time, is there any realistic way vinh, i love your stuff but its all very not real world scenarios

If U look at the thumbnail, the "intro" is indeed very long 😊
