Views of the art of public speaking. Why do I have a fear of public speaking?

Learning breathing techniques

When you’re about to deliver a speech or begin an interview and you feel nervous, your breathing is one of the first things that can be affected. This, in turn, can prevent you from being able to talk confidently. If you haven’t got experience or training in proper breathing techniques for speech, it can actually be difficult to breathe properly while you’re talking.

Before the speech

The speech itself might be the scary part, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only part you should pay attention to. Preparation is the key to success, and will make you feel so much more relaxed and confident when it’s time to present.
