A short instructional YouTube video by TJ Walker offering a practical method to overcome nervousness in public speaking. Walker likens speaking anxiety to initial nervousness in driving and swimming, and recommends using a cell phone to record yourself, watch the recordings, and repeat until you become comfortable and your nervousness "melts away."
How do I eliminate nervousness while speaking? Well, you do it the same way you eliminated nervousness with everything else. You were nervous driving the first time you took driving lessons. You were nervous getting into a swimming pool the first time you took swimming lessons. The best way to get over nervousness at speaking is to get some coaching, get some training, and you can do it yourself. As long as you have one of these. A cell phone. This can be your best teacher ever. Simply record. Record yourself speaking. Watch the video. I know you don't want to. You think your voice is worse than anyone else. It's not. Watch the video. Do it again and again until you like what you see. Your nervousness will melt away. And that's.
