RE: My Fear of Public Speaking

Dear Jane,
I wanted to share one of my biggest fears ? public speaking. Whenever I have to talk in front of the class, my heart races, and I get nervous. I worry about forgetting my words or making a mistake. I practice at home, but I still get scared before an audience. Do you have any tips for feeling more confident? I want to get better at it.
Cheers,
Peter

RE: My Fear of Public Speaking5

Dear Peter,
Thanks for sharing that with me. I’ve felt nervous speaking in front of others, too. One thing that helps me is practicing out loud several times and pretending I’m talking to close friends. I take deep breaths before I start. Even if I make a mistake, I keep going. Most people don’t even notice the slip-ups! I believe you can get better with practice. Let me know how it goes.
Warm wishes,
Jane
