Great video, I have said before I am fine after the first minute or so. Thanks for showing how that will not fly. I used to prepare something to distract or unrelated to the topic instead of developing a more compelling opening and rehearsing. Thanks for the tips!
Jay, I think all your videos are truly great but I frankly feel this is the best yet. It applies to both live and video presentations.I sometimes feel the audience decides how much attention they'll give you the very second you pop onto their screen or walk into view. Snap judgements are a brutal reality, as you suggest, but a fact of life. I start strong with an authentic smile ands some open, strong "damn, it's good to be here" body language.
Sir what to do with the rushing fast heartbeat in the first minute…¿ This is the biggest issue which happens even with following your strategy of warm-up, preparation etc…………waiting anxiously for your guidance for controlling fast heartbeat
Belly breathing would be my first suggestion, but it will require a few months of daily practice in a variety of situations before you can apply it effectively under pressure.
Even briefly? It doesn't need to be constant; in fact, unbroken eye contact would be a little weird. I have a friend who always stares over my left shoulder when we have a conversation. He's a highly successful attorney, with a very large firm, so apparently it doesn't interfere with his professional prospects.
@@voiceandspeech at least I can maintain it for few seconds. But one of the problems I'm facing is the fear to stand on stage and present. My words will disappear from my mind. I sill shake and feel nervous. Why is it like that
@@dnjosh10 There's no short answer to that question. Speech anxiety is a pretty complicated phenomenon with a wide range of contributing factors. I think voice training is a very effective way to deal with the physical aspects of stage fright, but there are usually cognitive issues that need to be addressed as well. I think there are even subconscious brain stem triggers that are involved.
@@voiceandspeech Sir, what briefly can u suggest in order to address the cognitive issues involving thinking process right before entering the interview room, the rushing heart....etc plz 💝
@@sohailafridi66 It's not my area of expertise, so I can't really advise you about that. Look into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). It's long been recognized as an effective approach for dealing with speech anxiety. You might even be able to find some CBT-based exercises online.

You're welcome. Good luck with your new approach.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention the opening smile. Duh! Thanks, Evan.
This also applies to people who make TH-cam videos. If you can't catch their attention right off the bat, no one will watch an listen.
Thanks sir Jay. Another informative video!
You're welcome, April.
I start with a story or anything to break the ice. It works.
great video!!

You're welcome!
i keep rubbing the top right corner of my screen for what i thought was a stain.
I can't t maintain eye contact. Even in a one-on-one conversation.
