I have this problem - the fear of public speaking. I'm trying to cope with it, she then retreats, then comes back again. After a few days I will make a analysis of the article (I'm a student) and now thinking about it I feel stiffness in my whole body. Most of all, I'm afraid to go out and stand in front of an audience (it is small, only a few people) not shaking and I'm afraid that I will tremble a voice. Maybe You know method, how to cope with anxiety directly before the performance and during it? I understand that the way to solve this problem, but maybe there's some secret that lets you quickly compose yourself. Thank you. I ask to respond all who has experience
Hello.
I had something similar. I really did not perceive it as a problem, but rather as a challenge.
And even when he became a senior lecturer in psychology and lectured for more than 100 people, I had occasion to handle.
Firstthat it is necessary to understand yourself: "Fear is the energy of success, given to us to overcome obstacles."
And if no excitement before the performance do not, the speech has the potential to fail, because it will be grey and boring.
Listeners love "drive".
Second. Sit at home quietly (in the sense of the body) and povspominat a situation where You feel confidently and provocatively, literally sign in to the situation (wrap around) to get full access to the senses (there is no need to stick around - right or wrong. Do the same as always, when I remember something good, or dream). When you enter the situation feeling good, and not much squeeze fist (left hand if right-handed) in a special way (putting the thumb inside) and say to yourself (mentally) provocatively, in line with these good feelings: "It's me." The person also must Express these feelings. Then open the fist and the eye (or dim/erase) and search for the following situation, etc., etc. - collect the whole collection. Situation can be anything (not related to the performances), but it is good if at the same time remember the situation(s) when he was very nervous, but the performance was successful. After You will carefully work so begin to use it. - Whenever You are overwhelmed by the excitement, call these good memories, to do this squeeze (not much exactly as it did when I remembered) your fist, smile, and say to yourself mentally: "That's me!" and start to imagine (dream) of how You have this great work. Immediately before the performance (when will be released and we should have to say) also squeeze the fist, smile (close my eyes for a second, if you do it with your eyes closed) and say to yourself mentally "This is Mine!" unclench your fist, don't forget to open your eyes
a smile can leave, forget about all these "tricks" and start talking...
Third. Instead of frantically to remember - "where do I start?" (sometimes it crashes completely
) start with simple things - say Hello, ask audience a few questions (well, not necessarily...
) in the context of speech, make a significant pause (to attract attention) and say. It does not try to remove all the excitement out of my voice (the audience will not be interested), sometimes it is necessary to add (especially if the topic is boring). If the lecture is long and You feel that the attention of the audience leaves, is useful in the middle to tell some (pre -) an anecdote or story is somehow related to the topic of the lecture, joke, etc. Sometimes that is the most wonderful preparation for the beginning of the performance, which You worked so hard, completely flies out of my head from excitement and You feel like everything in the world forgot and I don't know what to say despite all the "tricks"...
In this case, start the conversation with, what do You good (you can mark the link from Your last statement) and gradually turn on the current topic of the speech.
Fourth. Clearly and distinctly finished his speech, summing up all said. The final impression of the whole performance strongly depends on good finishing.
Fifth. Regularly add to your collection with new luck.
Good luck!<
. I used Iscelenie, Endorphins and Ultramesh. I came to the conclusion that the case in your dski because kzhdy time I am on time ( 2-3 weeks) I stopped using the discs I listed "effects" was held and returned when I again started to use them. You are somewhere picili that the exchange rate and pause should be either 15 days or 21 (2-3 weeks). May be my idiosyncrasy, or do I do something wrong? As it explained to you? That you could advise me? 
I still want to try to combine these lessons with the Conductor, but I've done a few courses, though quite a long time and now I somehow do not pull.
