All about Public Speaking
Public speaking means talking to a group of people, such as your class, an audience or a family gathering. Speak clearly and slowly, look at your audience and use a steady voice. Good speakers plan what they want to say and practise it aloud.
Feeling nervous is normal. Taking slow, deep breaths before you start, holding notes or cards for support and focusing on the message rather than yourself can help. Most audiences want you to succeed, so the more you practise, the more confident you will become.
