speechconfidence

This site is from a University in Dallas about college years and ways to get through anxiety.

I liked the five points mentioned here to overcome the fear of public speaking, especially the idea of "You Don't Have to be Perfect." I have experienced during my speech preparation that aiming for the perfect speech leads to procrastination in work and further increase in the anxiety level. So, presenting the content of the speech with passion is the good strategy for making positive impression on your audience.

This page explains how we make things worse by trying not to feel anxious and gives some tips for managing stage fright.

I liked the points outlined on this website because we have already discussed some of this ideas during the class discussion. Also, I feel like i performed little better in my last two speeches when i worked on the points like "Expect to be nervous," "Breathe," "Connect with your audience," and "Act confident."

Very cool resource! The advice to "breathe" is a simple one, but often overlooked.
