Public Speaking

What’s a good way to overcome anxiety before and during public speaking?

Ms. Jo asked:

Whenever I have to speak infront of people during my lectures I get really nervous and I stammer and make lots of mistakes.

I cannot make eye contact at all without freezing up, and the whole ‘visualise naked people’ thing doesn’t do it for me.

Got any ideas?
Hahah, Thanks Smokey!




Is a public speaking class a requirement to every degree?

LC asked:

I am absolutely terrified of public speaking but I want to go back to school to become a nutritional consultant. Is there any way to avoid it?
