In reply to Traci Kenworth. It gets easier the more you do it I find. I was terrified the first time, but the more often I speak, the less anxiety I feel. I think because of this, i recommend to all writers that if you get an opportunity to speak in front of a crowd, take it. It will make things easier in the long run, I promise!

This is some awesome advice though the idea of public speaking breaks me out in a cold sweat. I think I could handle sitting with the audience and talking with them in a more intimate setting.

In reply to jeffo.

It could just be the comment wasn’t approved yet–Becca and I hand approve them because we get SO MUCH SPAM. We don’t want that clogging the comment section, so we don’t automate this part of the process. 😉

Just the thought of public speaking makes my heart beat faster. I didn’t even like speaking out loud with a critique group. These are excellent suggestions for people like me–who would definitely rather be stuck in a cave than speak in front of other people.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I’ve found that when I speak to groups, the arrangement of the room makes a huge difference. Of course most of the time the speaker has no control over it, but I like to look at public speaking as more of a ‘conversation’, so I only speak to smaller groups at this point. If the room is too big, and everyone is facing me expecting a lecture, that’s when I get unnerved. I like what you said, Rachel, about meeting your audience on their level, pulling up a chair at the library to talk with the attendees. That’s why I try to make it as interactive as possible. To me, it feels more personal, and this relaxes me.

Nice article! I’m awful at speaking in front of an audience. I turn into a mushy, stammering mess unless I’ve prepared, practised and almost memorised everything I need to say.

I’ll be sure to remember these tips. Thanks!
