Hello Joel,
Thank you for your question.
Tips on overcoming the fear of public speaking is something I get asked often.
Here are some of the tips I tell people to try:
1. Know your material, don't memorize it, learn it.
2. Work from a bullet point outline.
3. Get to your event early and practice your speech in the room.
4. Meet a few people in the front row, that way, come presentation time you will not be speaking to a room full of strangers.
5. Speak to one person at a time. 5 seconds each in the front row until you're more comfortable.
I hope these tips on losing your fear of public speaking has been helpful you.
I also have video tutorials full of tips and pointers on my Youtube channel, feel free to have a look.
More information and additional resources to learn about public speaking and losing your fear of public speaking can be found on the Vocal Power Website.
