How To Overcome Stress While Giving Speeches? Heart Beats Fast, Palms Sweat, Voice Becomes Shaky
Hi I've been trying to overcome my stress when it comes to giving speech in front of people but every time I start, I start well but in the middle of speaking my heart starts beating so fast that leads to a shaking in my voice, even though I talk slow so I can breath more often but surprisingly there is no way to stop this. Additionally, my palms get sweaty and I all of a sudden I forget all the things I'd been practicing for about a week. Plus, when I talk in front of people and I mess up and some people laugh at me, I cannot forget what just happened for a long time and it keeps coming to my head and I cannot get rid of it. Any suggestions how I can get rid of this? My major is business, as you know the most important role of mine in future life will be talking for and in front of people but with these issues I'll never be a good speaker.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
This kind of nature is deeply rooted in past events, and you must be blushing in nature while speaking to strange people or even to known one, now try speaking with people individually on different subjects, always give good smile hand shake, have positive attitude listen them never argue with the people while giving speech take pause in between with such words that indicate pause is must here, like, "What I am going to say you" take little pause and gather your confidence,, another "just think it about" have pause take deep breath close your eyes till audience thinking about, such manner brigs the confidence back and moral too, try it,, have happy speech bye. (Wish you a nice audience with good speech of yours )
