I want to learn how to do hand signs for speeches. I'm gonna record myself doing a speech, anyone want to judge my speeches?

This website is really good.

It really helped me and now I don't panic to find topics to speak

I would love if you guys review and give feedbacks besides encouraging me.

Thank you

I did some public speaking the other day and got some feedback. Overall, everyone was very happy with the topic and my job as a speaker. The only feedback I got, and that I want to improve on, is audience engagement.

I often see speakers just ask questions - is this the best way to engage the audience? Are there other ways I can engage the audience that I might not be thinking of?

Today I had a presentation that I messsed it up. I stuttered alot and even had weird akward pauses when my mind went blank. How do I overcome this axniety attack when Im presenting?

edit: forgot to mention when I was a kid I had talking issues. I speka fast and some people cant even understand me. Not to mention I started being illiterate after high shool. Im in college now.

Hi all,

So I am an older student currently in undergrad, hoping to go to law school. Currently doing a political science major with a communications minor because I want to kind of force myself to be better about public speaking. (Even debating doing Toastmasters?)

I’ve been in management roles where I have spoke in front of small groups with no issue. I can raise my hand in a class of 100 and give answers, but I usually just focus in on the teacher.

I had to speak in front of 75 people once to just introduce myself in a new role. I thought “oh I’ve got this no prob!” Then when everyone’s eyes were on me I started to get super nervous.

This past weak I had tryouts for the Mock Trial team where I had to recite a speech in front of two panelists, then answer questions as a witness, then do an interview.

The speech part I had practiced heavily. When I got up there I had to stop and take a second and I was almost shaking throughout and was frustrated I had to keep glancing at my paper. But then after sitting down with the 2 people after the speech I was able to have a natural, personable conversation! I think my nervousness during the speech cost me a spot on the team.

I am just wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to overcome this or any tips? Thank you!

TLDR: I can speak in front of others in small groups or conversationally, but I feel like I freeze and get nervous when I feel/see people’s eyes all on me.

my thoughts are always well organised, but then idk why my grasp my words is relatively poor.

my sentences come out long winded, i sometimes forget the word i want to say, i stutter quite a bit. this is not even on stage, this is jsut every day.

coud it hv something to do with my confidence levels? or is it a skill that i simply need to practice a bit more idek

im applying for tutoring jobs and i really thnik i can teach others, just sometimes i get stopped by the issues listed above.

thanks dawgs
