Greetings of the day....!
I want to discuss in detail about public speaking because Iam lack in that.So here is information on public speaking from my findings.
Did you know ?72 % of people all over the world have a fear of public speaking?Well, which is unavoidable,but with practice and rehearsal you turn stage fear into a positive fear.
There are people who become very nervous when they are asked anything in front of an audience.Surprisingly,they can talk for hours with friends,with small groups,but are afraid of doing the same on the dais,in front of a large audience.
It is a fact that nobody is a born speaker, not even the famous orator of the world.In India,usually the parents discourage their children to talk before elders.Most of such children find it difficult to speak in public.They hesitate to take part even in the school elocution and debate competition and this continues even they reach adulthood.
We will search the factors that cause fear of public speaking and also solutions to overcome the fear and these factors always live in our subconscious mind that lead to nervousness.
1.I have never talked on the stage before.
2.I cannot impress the audience like other speakers.
3.People may laugh at my language and style.
4.I may forget my speech.
5.There may be some critics from the audience.
6.When i look at the audience,my body shivers.
7.My mind become blank.
8.When somebody asks a question,I may not be able to answer.

The imaginary fear is more dangerous compare to the real experience.We can resist these fears with positive thinking and confidence.
