I’m literally getting anxiety just watching this video.

what I learned :
when you are stressed your body experiences a kind of fear and anxiety .
when the level of adrenaline of your body augments all the energy go to your feet and your hands.
To release that energy you just gotta move around.

Thank you so much, I am a child going into a drama play in two days, I actually move around back stage with my hands and my feet because it makes me feel comfortable. Since we've practiced scripts and staging/blocking for a week it feels like so little time, I will keep this on mind!
Have a nice day, bless you!

Something I learned from this video is that when public speaking you mainly have to control your hands and feet. I also learned that once you tell your mind you could do it, then everything else is taken care of. Lastly I learned that you just have to keep your body from moving too much.

What I have learned:
Presentations often cause a sense a fear to course through the human body; causing movement in different limbs like hands and feet. Simple steps to ease the stress include calming the mind and exorcising appendages beforehand. This eases the body and you let yourself know that you are okay and that in turn aids the presentation.

Why I did not know it earlier great tip

[paulahirsch]

3 things I’ve learned:
1. Your body develops a fight or flight response when it is anxious
2. You have to communicate to your body to not run away by using specific body language
3. Essentially you have to control your breathing, feet, and hands in order to concentrate on your speaking and moving away from that anxiety

Someone told me to look at the wall behind the audience, or if it's outside, then I should look at the wind or just imagine I'm talking to what's far behind the audience. By ignoring the audience's eyes, I always feel less stressed😅. But it’s still difficult sometimes. Anyway, thanks for the video. I try to use this method.

I wish I watched this video the day before the individual speech about bullying. It's just terrible and I still can't get it out of my head. Midway through my speech, I remembered that eye contact is a necessary criteria, so I immediately did exactly that. However, when my teacher cut my speech and I got back to my seat, my friends told me was about to cry and the memorizing that I did minutes before that (the speech is urgent, fuck my teacher) was all count for naught.
Thanks for the video, but I think I won't be doing any kind of public speaking EVER!
