UNIT 7: PREPARING ORAL PRESENTATIONS Speech Anxiety (Continued) Whatever the source of your speech anxiety, there are many steps that you can take to reduce nervousness and gain control of your presentation. The steps fall into three categories: Preparation • Know the audience. • Preview the venue, if possible. • Do the research and know the facts. • Consider the emotional issues of the message. • Anticipate the questions that may be asked and prepare answers. Practice • Present the speech aloud until it is completely familiar. • Read the speech in front of a mirror and ensure that body language aids the message. • Seize all opportunities to speak aloud to become more comfortable in front of groups (e.g., ask questions in meetings, join Toastmasters or another public-speaking group, speak to small friendly groups, present slides to family or friends, or teach a course). Acceptance • Accept nervousness as normal. • Accept that you may misspeak during the presentation and plan to correct yourself immediately and smoothly. • Use relaxation techniques, such as: Stretching Muscle tensing and relaxing Deep breathing Body alignment Consciously choosing to let go of tension Visualizing an effective presentation Review Job Aid 7.1, Tips to Reduce Fear of Public Speaking, on the following page.
