Managing speaking fears and anxieties has been one of the hardest parts for me to handle. The first video i found to be very helpful as it dictates breathing techniques designed to help you relax in the moments of your speech. As i watched the other videos, using a combination of visualization, breathing, and changing your outlook, i feel these items can greatly improve the effectiveness of speech giving. It will fill you with energy, allow you to collect yourself even if you are feeling the fear. By practicing these skills along with the actual contents of your speech you will find out how to apply them to certain trouble spots during your talk. Talking about a topic that you have a lot of passion for will also help.
Another important part of the speech making process is the actual preparation including researching, structuring, and delivery. The presentations shown by these students in the video could set the standard for how to give a speech properly. By capturing the attention of an audience, and carefully and methodically dishing out researched material, the audience can have a clearer understanding of the topic at hand. I believe that another key to eliminating public speaking anxiety is actually knowing what to say. By practicing over and over until you can say it as easily as you can sing the words to happy birthday, you can effectively shoot down a significant part of the fear.
