Are you a Glossophobic? If you don’t know what that means, ask yourself if you would prefer to walk on hot coals instead of speak to a group? Many surveys have revealed that above the fear of death and disease is the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Millions of people are terrified of the spotlight, whether it’s speaking to a large crowd with a microphone or at a dinner table of four. I recently attended a convention for public speakers and actually learned that there is

I have always enjoyed performing arts. I started to learn the piano at six years old, went to acting class at elven and became a student of professional magic at fourteen. But for a long time, when I was called upon to perform in front of an audience, I turned into a bag of nerves and was often unable to meet the request. And when I forced myself to meet it, the performance was usually under parr. Performance anxiety became a dominant problem in my life and at one point I had

My public speaking students ask, “What if I speak to an audience that is hostile? How do I deal with that?” This question usually comes up after they have transformed a great deal of stage fright and are feeling very comfortable at the center of attention in their class group. The implication of ...

“A playful performer is less likely to let fear take over when basking in the moment without a scorecard, time limit, or expectation. We are more likely to be present, calm and available to the flow of creative intelligence. Playfulness allows us to enlist and embrace our audience in our performance adventure. We are less intimidated by their questions, ideas, and responses.

Public speaking is an art form, when you deliver a presentation or a speech in front of an audience. In a survey, it is the greatest fear of the people who were polled, so you are definitely not alone if the thought of public speaking makes your knees tremble. Whilst public speaking can be taught and trained, the one key factor that you must possess is self confidence. With it, you will be able to trust in your own ability to cope with accidental hiccups, or unexpected questi

Much of communication training focuses on formulas for specific words to say that may seem mechanical and feel inauthentic to the speaker or the listener. What is often missing from communication techniques is the magic of connectedness. Connection and its richer cousins, chemistry and ...

I was backstage packing up the stuff in my dressing room. A woman knocked on the door and said, "Can I ask you something?" I invited her in. She asked me how long I had been performing. I told her. Then she said, "What I'd like to know is -- when did you get over stage fright?" (At moments like this, I wish my husband were standing behind me so he could let out a boisterous "HA!") I said, "I'm pretty sure I haven't yet." I told her that for the first whole year of perform

If all the world's a stage, it's no wonder those with performing arts backgrounds do so well in non-theater jobs like lawyer, engineer, architect, marketer, educator or business executive. And it's no coincidence that many businesspeople are turning to acting classes to help build self ...

Working in the performing arts is a dream for many, but not everyone will succeed. Talent alone isn't enough, it's as much a case of getting a break as anything. If people don't know where casting calls are happening they are never going to get noticed. Starting out is tough, but it's not impossible. It's important not to give up on that dream. Talent burns bright and by getting along to some acting auditions anything is possible. It only takes a small part to get started and

Not everyone has severe stage fright or fear of public speaking. Many people tell me the first few minutes of a talk or speech are filled with tension and anxiety. But, they say that once they get past the first five or ten minutes, they feel OK. When I ask them to evaluate what happens in ...

Fear Public Speaking? No More! Man, I wish it was that easy. I speak publicly often, and I still get nervous prior to every speech or presentation. Every single one. That being said, I’m in pretty good company — it has been noted that Sir Winston Churchill and President Lincoln also got quite anxious prior to speaking publicly. Unfortunately, no matter how many books, courses, DVDs, websites or snake oil salesmen promise to “cure” you of your fear of public speaking, it is

Fear of Public Speaking, Pt. III Fear doesn’t just exist for the days and hours prior to an event. In Pt. III of this series, I am going to address tips and tactics when the nerves kick in within minutes of your presentation actually beginning (although every one of these tactics also work hours and days before as well). 1.

Confidence can be found when you learn to become present and discover your “Inner Self Leadership”, that place that is full of confidence, wisdom, compassion, non-judgment, love, and strength. From this place, you will get to know the parts of yourself that hold the fears and anxiety and hijack you from living from this place of confidence.

I think most of us know the rules on public speaking. First, remember to not use filler words such as “ums”, “You know”, or “uh”. Second, show confidence and have your presentation well rehearsed. Use vocal inflection, and engage your audience. Now, I do believe that these rules can be used wisely and improve your presentation abilities, but they aren’t the end all.
