How to overcome the nervousness in speech

It is inevitable to be nervous when giving a speech, so how should we overcome the nervousness? The following is "How to Overcome the Nervousness in Speech" compiled by me for your reference only. Welcome to reading.

How to overcome the nervousness in the speech (1) First, try to do it in the speech.

1. If you forget your speech halfway, don't be nervous, just jump to the following topic, and probably no one will notice your mistake at all.

2. Pause is not a problem. Don't always want to make a sound to fill every second. The best speaker will use intermittent pauses to express his main points more clearly.

3. If looking at the eyes of the audience makes you nervous, look at the top of the audience's head (the audience won't notice).

4. Look directly at the audience and change the object of gaze at will. Don't look around and don't look up, because it will make you look untrustworthy.

If watching the audience makes you nervous, then your eyes can look at those friendly or smiling faces.

6. It is best to make a speech in a way close to dialogue, express your clear ideas in simple sentences, and don't chew words too much.

7. It is best to use body language properly and make some gestures, not too rigid.

8. If you can tremble, don't hold the paper in your hand, because paper will amplify your trembling degree, make your hand into a fist or hold the platform.

9. Never mention your nervousness or apologize for your performance during the speech, which will only make you lose confidence even more.

10. If you can arouse the audience's interest in the opening remarks, the whole speech will become relaxed and smooth.

Second, the mentality.

1. We should firmly believe that everyone can be an excellent speaker. There are many examples to prove that an ordinary speaker can become an excellent speaker through practice.

2. Understand that your audience wants you to succeed, and they come to listen to your speech in the hope of hearing interesting and meaningful speeches that can stimulate and enhance their thoughts.

If you have no confidence or interest in your speech, put it off as much as possible.

Third, practice.

1. Doing more exercises is the best preparation. The higher your confidence, the better your performance will be.

2. Ask relatives and friends to be spectators when practicing and give you feedback. If you have no relatives or friends, a mirror or your pet can be your audience. Try to imagine yourself standing in front of an audience.

3. Audio and video recording, and then make progress through self-criticism. Practice every speech at least twice, preferably until you know everything. Make sure you can finish it within the time limit.

If your mind is blank, prepare a speech, practice it several times, and remember it in your mind several times.

If you are still worried, bring your notes into the arena, and you can check your notes on the spot in case you forget them.

6. If you are still worried, write down the speech and read it out on the spot.

How to overcome the nervousness in the speech (2) First, be familiar with the content of the speech.

It's not what people think. Reciting word for word always does more harm than good, and may even lead to the failure of the speech. Just recite the speech and think about what the next sentence is. When you are nervous, you will get stuck. Even if it can be carried out from beginning to end, the whole process is unremarkable, because the speaker has no intention of taking care of the scene at all.

In fact, it is the most appropriate and effective way to grasp the content and structure of the speech through careful and repeated thinking. First of all, think about what you want to talk about, which question is the center, what to talk about first, what to talk about later, what to detail and what to omit, and have a general framework of the speech in mind. Secondly, think about the situation of L on the spot and make some necessary assumptions.

For example, how to deal with unexpected situations at the scene, how to control the scene as soon as you take the stage and attract the audience. Experienced speakers often have to design one or several opening remarks for on-site selection. Be familiar with the speech, think carefully, prepare the speech in advance, and then speak and practice. Many famous speakers attach importance to speech and practice. When Mr. Wen Yiduo was young, he often practiced speaking alone before giving a speech on stage.

Second, practice speaking loudly.

There should also be appropriate ways and means to talk and practice. According to personal situation, or different purposes and requirements, different conditions, you can give lectures in advance by yourself, or you can ask a few friends or people with lecture experience to be listeners and ask them to help you and guide you to practice. In the process of speaking and practicing, some people emphasize "speaking", some people emphasize "posture" and some people pay attention to cultivating feelings. On the basis of completing the preparation work such as writing a good speech, getting familiar with the speech and practicing speaking properly, we must fight a tough battle: get rid of the anxiety and tension before going on stage.

Third, overcome the tension

Most people have this kind of nervousness, which is also a normal reaction. But if this pressure is too great, if it is not alleviated, it will seriously threaten the success of the speech. The effective ways to overcome this psychological pressure are as follows:

(1) has a strong desire to succeed and thinks that he will succeed. "Emotion is an important means to control emotion itself", and anxiety should be "cured" with a calm, optimistic and fearless "prescription". In this kind of prescription, "desire", "faith" and "benefit" are very important. Desire is the concept of success. Faith means believing that the ideas you want to talk about are correct and the materials you use are real and vivid. The advantage is to think more about your own unique favorable factors.

(2) Don't care too much about personal gains and losses. Bernard Shaw, a famous Irish writer, said that he changed from a timid person to a successful speaker: "I learned to skate by myself-I insisted on making a fool of myself until I got used to it."

(3) by relaxation method. If you can keep telling yourself "relax, relax"; Or exercise, release excess heat energy that increases sharply due to physical tension; Or take a deep breath and spit it out evenly and slowly.

Fourth, the speech matters needing attention

1. Never leave the ice.

(1) Before going on stage, do everything possible to make yourself relaxed and happy. For example, make jokes, tell jokes, find a quiet place, read famous sentences, listen to a piece of music, read picture books, and don't want to give a speech immediately. The purpose of this is to divert the excitement of the mind to adjust the mood.

(2) I'm going to go on stage soon, but I still need to relax. The method is to take a breath slowly, spread out your ribs, hold your breath for a few seconds, and then slowly spit out the gas that makes you uneasy, spit it out, and so on and so on. Note: When taking a deep breath, don't think about anything, and try to keep yourself unconscious.

(3) Using "spiritual victory method" as psychological suggestion. Think about your successes and advantages. After a good "self-affirmation and self-appreciation", stabilize the psychological set of "I am better than you". When you are about to go on stage, you should temporarily despise the audience and treat them as "ignorant" people. Only by "listening to me slowly" can they gain something.

(4) The moment you step onto the podium, don't expect any "sensational effect". What comes to mind is that the overall situation has been set, and only by "despair" can you devote yourself to the speech and have hope of success.

(5) When you open your mouth, your intonation can be higher. The loud and powerful opening remarks not only stabilized the scene, but also stabilized themselves. When you speak, you should "think first", grasp the whole based on the signal system that has been "fixed" in your mind before you take the stage, and speak boldly without hesitation. When the speech enters a virtuous cycle of operation system, the success of the speech will see the dawn.

2. Don't talk too much

Some people always like to be overjoyed To give a very simple example, suppose there is a car salesman. His monthly sales performance is 30 cars, but this month he only sold 10 cars. If he had reported to his boss in advance that "it is expected that only four or five cars will be sold this month due to the launch of new cars by other car manufacturers", then the fact that he has sold ten cars now seems to be no longer a defect, but a breakthrough. However, if he tells his boss in advance that "I can sell at least 14 and 15 cars, even though the car factory introduced a new type of car this month", the fact that ten cars have been sold will be considered as "failure"!

3. Take a few professional words.

Sometimes, when we sit in the car or coffee shop and hear someone speaking a foreign language or technical terms, our eyes often look at them involuntarily. This phenomenon is called "solidification effect" in memory psychology. For example, if we put a special symbol among a lot of numbers, this special symbol will definitely stand out. This is the so-called "cohesion effect".

When pursuing a girlfriend, if you often add some foreign languages to the conversation, the other party will often think that you are knowledgeable. Once he feels learned, he will pay special attention to the content of this person's conversation. Conversely, if this method is used frequently, it will not only make the separation effect weaker and weaker, but also make the other party feel that people who talk about life are superficial! This will not only fail to show your knowledge, but will leave a bad impression on the other side, and enough is enough.

4. Don't deny others easily

Sometimes we want to deny something, often because of some factors, we can't simply deny it, because we may build another enemy if we are not careful! At this point, we must find an excuse to deny it. But if the excuse you are looking for is closely related to yourself, although the other party accepts our denial, on the other hand, it will also feel the anger of being directly denied.

So how can we achieve the goal of negation without hurting feelings? Usually, it is quite difficult to really achieve the best of both worlds. Here is an ideal method, you might as well try it, that is, look through history and see what historical celebrities have said, and whether there are any famous sayings suitable for your current situation. If so, we can express our meaning through the words of celebrities. For example, we can express (imply) our present state of mind in the way that Confucius once said. In this way, the feelings of the other party are often not so strong, and the purpose we want to deny is achieved.

5. Don't put it off until the end

(1) The ending should be concise, and the story should be short. Don't gild the lily for fear that the audience won't understand.

(2) Some speakers, at the end of the speech, do not consider how to give the audience a complete impression, do not consider the integrity of the structure, do not consider the consequences of the speech, but rush to end, abrupt and blunt, so that the audience can not understand.

(3) The ending serves the theme, without which it loses its meaning. Some speakers blindly pursue novelty and design endings that they think are very proud of, but they don't know that such endings are far from the theme. For example, some speakers like to quote famous aphorisms at the end. If the quotation is accurate, it will serve the theme. If the quoted aphorism doesn't match the theme, it will deviate from the theme.

(4) Some speakers like to use conventional pleasantries at the end of their speeches to show their modesty. In fact, the audience has their own comments on whether it is good or bad, excellent or bad, so why talk about modesty?

How to overcome the nervousness in the speech (3) 1. courage

Courage is indispensable to give a speech on stage. With courage, the speech is half done. Courage is an internal motivation, which can effectively relieve your stress and tension.

be sure of oneself

Self-confidence is the cornerstone of success. I believe I can do it. As long as I want to do an impossible thing and others can do it well, I can do it well. Confident people are the most attractive and appreciated. Give yourself more confidence, and you will definitely overcome your nervousness.

face

Now that you have said it, you must learn to face it. This is your own business. You should do your duty and learn to face it, so that you will have confidence in your heart. Facing your personal growth and sublimation. Face it bravely and work hard to finish it.

take a deep breath

Taking a few deep breaths before giving a speech can effectively relieve your nervousness, help you relax your nervousness, and achieve inner peace so that you won't be so nervous that you will sweat when giving a speech.

5. Remember the content of the speech

Remember the content of the speech in advance, so that you won't forget the words because you are a little nervous, and you can adjust them in time even if you are a little nervous, which is very important for the speech.

6. Just came to power

Just coming on stage is the most tense moment. At this time, we can stop for a while to get familiar with the stage, and then naturally introduce ourselves or tell a humorous joke, so as to get familiar with the environment as soon as possible and enter the atmosphere of the speech.

When giving a speech, focus on your own speech content and speak with emotion as if you were the protagonist in the story. Concentration can make people forget everything around them, but such concentration is hard to do. You can try to make yourself develop in this respect.

How to overcome the nervousness in the speech (4) Stage fright and nervous psychology in the speech are the experiences that any speaker has had. No successful speaker in the world is completely relaxed, but they are good at keeping their nervousness to a minimum. As for those who are new to the podium, stage fright is inevitable. Facing the audience, they are often nervous, at a loss, cold limbs, sweating, tongue-tied, incoherent, and even unable to continue to speak. In short, their remarks are out of control. So, how to overcome the nervousness after the opening of the speech?

1. The speaker should realize that nervousness is a natural phenomenon in his speech.

Most speakers are inevitably accompanied by nervousness in their speeches. At all times and in all countries, many language masters, such as Lincoln, tanaka kakuei and Churchill, all failed because of nervousness. In this regard, the speaker should have a clear understanding and clearly tell himself that the nervousness of the speech is inevitable, but it is also controllable.

This is like the situation of many famous sprinters. No matter how many races they have had, no matter how brilliant achievements they have made, they always feel nervous whenever they stand at the starting line and are ready to start. Experiments show that a moderate sense of tension contributes to the success of athletes. From this point of view, a moderate sense of tension is also beneficial to the speaker, because it can cause a kind of pressure, forcing the speaker to be more serious and cautious, and to consider all possible success or failure factors more carefully, so as to avoid blind optimism and rashness.

The speaker should make full preparations in advance.

Speakers should strive to improve the quality of their speeches, better remember their speeches, design their oral and body language more carefully, and express themselves more confidently. If you have the conditions, you might as well find two or three friends to act as listeners and give them a try, so that friends can make more comments and suggestions and make changes in time. If it is a speech contest, we should calculate the time accurately, rather short than long.

In addition, the speaker should arrive at the venue early, and be familiar with the venue environment, sound effects, noise index, light intensity and so on. , and understand the general situation of the audience, such as the number of audience, education level, age, gender, etc. And even talk to someone in the audience. Doing so can make the speaker feel that the speech is just an enlarged conversation, and the audience is only the object of conversation. In this way, when you make a formal speech, you can eliminate the strangeness. In addition, you can also analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the previous speaker, find out your own advantages and enhance your self-confidence.
