20
A study by Texas Christian University tested 48 women
21
and 48 men enrolled in a public speaking class and found
22
that those who exhibited high trait anxiety had the most physical symptoms of distress when speaking publicly.

Something that will start to convince the audience that you're taking control.
43
And finally, the knockout!

A landing blow blower statement that's memorable, convincing, and sums up your speech's position.
45
All right, step two.
46
Posture and physicality are key.
47
Part of keeping your anxiety at bay while giving your speech is knowing what to do with your body.
48
Before your speech, avoid large meals or dairy products, which will make you feel like you need to clear your throat incessantly.
49
Bring a bottle of water on stage if you're allowed.
50
Don't be afraid to take sips throughout your speech.
51
It'll keep your voice natural, and it gives you a moment to pause and regain your composure if needed.

It'll draw in a laugh.
63
If there's a silence, then turn that into a joke.
64
Stay natural, self-effacing, and the audience will be on your side.
65
Let's recap.
66
You'd rather face a poisonous reptile than public speak, huh?
67
Well, follow the well-cast triple P checklist.
68
Prepare extensively for your speech.
69
Know your content backwards and forwards, and figure out the absolute best way to present it and to win over your audience.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
