Are you fearing public speaking or pressing that record button ?

Here are ten top tips to overcome the fear of public speaking or pressing that record button:

1. Start Small

Begin by speaking to a mirror or recording short, private videos for yourself. Gradually work your way up to larger audiences or longer recordings.

2. Practice Makes Confidence

Rehearse your speech or podcast multiple times. The more familiar you are with your content, the less anxious you’ll feel when it’s time to perform.

3. Focus on Your Message

Shift your focus from “How do I look/sound?” to “What message am I delivering?” Keeping your audience in mind helps reduce self-consciousness.

4. Positive Visualization

Picture yourself succeeding. Visualize the audience nodding in agreement, clapping, or leaving positive comments. This can boost your confidence before you even begin.

5. Embrace Imperfection

Nobody is perfect, and that’s okay! Authenticity trumps perfection every time. Let go of the idea that everything has to be flawless.

6. Warm Up First

Do vocal exercises, deep breathing, or even physical stretches to release any built-up tension in your body and voice before speaking or recording.

7. Set a Goal for Each Speech/Recording

Whether it’s simply recording for 5 minutes or trying a new tone of voice, setting small, achievable goals can make the process less daunting.

8. Know Your Audience

Understanding who you’re speaking to can help tailor your content and build your confidence, knowing that your message will resonate.

9. Record in a Comfortable Environment

If you’re nervous, start in a safe space where you feel comfortable. It can be your living room or a quiet room in your home.

10. Hit Record Even When You’re Not Ready

The hardest part is often just starting. Challenge yourself to hit record, even if you feel unprepared—you can always delete and redo it!

These tips will help you step out of your comfort zone and shine as the confident, inspiring speaker or podcaster you are!
