Do you fear getting up in front of others to speak are you afraid of public speaking? The first thing you need to do is admit it so say it; I am afraid of public speaking; I fear getting up in front of others to speak! Okay you said it. Now ask yourself; Why am I afraid of public speaking? Think to your self what difference does it make? Are you afraid of what people will think of you, that they will be judging you that they may not approve of you as a person? Or are you more worried that they will disagree with what you have to say or that you will fumble your words, sound unconvincing and turn off the entire group to the subject or concept of your speech?

May I suggest that you contact your local Toastmasters Group in your area and attend a few meetings? The more the better and this will help you over come your fear of getting up in front of a crowd. Public speaking is not easy, yet with the proper help you can over come and never be afraid again, as there is no need to be scared. Practicing your voice inflection and variation is also good so you do not sound monotone when speaking. Public Speaking while not the easiest thing in the world can be done more effectively and compelling with a little practice and like anything else; practice makes perfect. Think on this.
