How to overcome
stage fright
|
You can turn your inherent stage fright into a feeling of balance and
equilibrium that will allow you to speak in public and feel comfortable
while doing it. Very few people manage to control their emotions to
a high level and it takes them years of practice to do so. You don’t
have to approach this issue from a radical point of view. Instead of
suppressing your emotions you can try to use them in your advantage,
to make them work for you instead of against you.
The most important thing, when you have a public speech, is to let your
audience see the real you, not an image you are trying to project. Don’t
try to go in front of them with a “fake” personality – they will sense
it and react negatively. Don’t try to be more than you are as playing
this role will be difficult and you will almost certainly overlook some
details. People are a lot more willing to accept someone who is a bit
insecure or clumsy rather than accepting a person who is obviously putting
on a mask and trying to cover his real personality. Being you is easy
– you are doing that every day!
Try to stop and think about your difficulties of speaking to a large
audience. Examine them with curiosity, try to see your reactions in
context. Don’t judge your reactions – observe them. You may find it
hard to play the role of a detached observer, especially when it comes
to your own person, but this is one of the best ways of discovering
exactly where things start to go wrong.
Warm up your mind before a presentation, but don’t neglect your body.
Every muscle of your body should be relaxed, your leg muscles should
be up to the challenge of you standing up for a longer period of time.
Even the slightest physical inconvenience will affect your communication,
so try to step on stage with a perfect mental and physical condition.
Don’t forget to breathe. Rhythmical breaths bring a feeling of order
and balance – exactly what you need before and while you hold your speech.
Try to breathe deeply for about ten minutes, as this will bring precious
oxygen to your brain, allowing it to function at maximum capacity.
Make contact with your audience. Try to see the scene as a place for
dialogue, instead of monologue. Try to make eye contact with some audience
members and adopt a relaxed posture. Smiling sincerely will always increase
the chances of a good presentation. Remember that all those people in
front of you are not there to judge you. They are there to receive the
information you have so focus on the purpose of your speech rather than
the public’s attitude towards you.
Turn your fear into a feeling of acceptance. Your fears come from the
fact that you are worried that the audience will pass negative judgment
on yourself or your presentation. Ignore this thought end step on stage
with the belief that you are there to share information or experience
and that you will be met with acceptance and interest. The more engaging
the presentation, the better. Communicate with audience members and
try to do this on a one on one level. By talking to a certain individual
you personalize your performance, you make it become part of who you
are. Keeping eye contact with your audience may be difficult and disturbing,
but you should try to do it every now and then. Make a statement and
then pause and glance at the public. Remember that non verbal communication
claims a vital role in your presentation and the way it is perceived
by others.
