4. TIP 1: ACCEPT THE FEAR — DON’T FIGHT IT

Feeling scared is normal.
Instead of thinking “I shouldn’t be nervous,” tell yourself:
“It’s okay. I can still speak.”
Acceptance reduces pressure instantly.

5. TIP 2: BREATHE SLOWLY BEFORE SPEAKING

Stage fear increases when breathing becomes fast.
Use the “4–4–4” technique:
4 seconds inhale → 4 seconds hold → 4 seconds exhale
This calms your mind and reduces shaking.

6. TIP 3: START WITH A SIMPLE LINE

Don’t jump directly into the speech.
Say something easy like:
“Good morning everyone.”
This warms up your voice and reduces nervousness.

7. TIP 4: USE THE POWER STANCE

Stand straight, shoulders relaxed, feet slightly apart.
A strong posture instantly boosts confidence and reduces fear.

8. TIP 5: PRACTICE WITH SMALL AUDIENCES

Start with:

• One friend
• Your family
• Mirror
• Phone camera
  Gradually increase your audience size.
  Small steps build big confidence.

9. TIP 6: FOCUS ON MESSAGE, NOT MISTAKES

Most students fear:
“What if I make a mistake?”
The truth is — the audience doesn’t notice small errors.
Focus on the message you want to share, not on perfection.

10. TIP 7: SMILE BEFORE YOU START

A small smile relaxes your facial muscles and sends a signal to your brain that “everything is fine.”

11. CONCLUSION

Stage fear reduces with practice, breathing control, simple starts, and a confident posture.
Everyone feels nervous — but the brave ones speak anyway.
Keep practicing, and you’ll shine on stage.
