When we worry, our breathing becomes fast and shallow. This is the body's natural response to stress, but it can increase anxiety. To deal with the excitement, try the following breathing exercise:
- Find a quiet place where no one will bother you.
- Sit comfortably, squaring your shoulders and keeping your back straight.
- Place one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach.
- Close your eyes and focus on your breathing.Inhale slowly through your nose, counting to four.
- Feel the air filling your lungs and your stomach rising.

Here are some useful tips on how to prepare your voice box for a speech. They saved quite a few presentations!
- When we worry, our voice becomes thin and child-like. It makes us look childish. It's harder for listeners to take us seriously. Work on the pitch of your voice in advance. And try to consciously control the pitch of your speech.
- If your mouth is dry, biting the tip of your tongue will help. Don't you believe it? Try it!
- Drink warm water. This will help to moisten the throat and soften the voice. Do not drink coffee and cold drinks, they cause dryness and irritation.
- Do not eat sweet and loose food before the performance! This can cause a lump in your throat and a desire to cough!
- Have you noticed that when we get excited, we start yawning? And this is a defense mechanism that will help you! Yawn more often! A good yawn relaxes the larynx and oxygenates the blood!
Here are some tips on how to create a positive attitude before and during a public appearance. This is the most important thing, because if you forget the text, you will be able to draw out your performance based on emotions and mood!
- If you feel stiffness or fear, give yourself time to relax. It is necessary to relax tense muscles on exhalation. And the order is this: starting from the legs, to the neck and head! Always from the bottom up!
- Practice the posture of the strong. Hands on your hips, back straightened, shoulder blades brought together, legs apart. Imagine that you are a superhero! Stand in this position for 2-3 minutes before going on stage. This pose works wonders!
- Find the person you will be addressing in the audience. Yes, yes, and contact him directly!
- Listeners are being fooled by this bait: if the regulations allow, then be sure to interrupt the performance to communicate with the audience. Make it a point for yourself that your potential friends are sitting in the audience, and not just colleagues or employees. You can ask questions or use the proven technique of stand-up comedians: "Clap for those who had the same thing!"
- Do not think about the purpose of your speech in the verbs of passive action. To tell, to introduce, to read the report – these words are forbidden! Set goals such as: convince, prove, inspire!
And finally, here are 5 simple tips on how to properly relax before your brilliant exit.:
- Get enough sleep. Try to go to bed early on the eve of the performance. Lack of sleep can negatively affect your concentration and emotional state.
- Get physically active. Light exercises such as walking or yoga can help relieve tension and improve your mood. However, do not overdo it, so as not to get tired before the performance.
- Practice breathing exercises. Deep breathing will help calm down and reduce stress levels. Take a few minutes to practice breathing before going on stage.
- Visualize success. Imagine how you confidently perform in front of an audience and get a positive reaction. It will help you believe in yourself!
- Take a break. Just forget about the performance for an hour or two! Do something pleasant and relaxing. This will help to distract from the upcoming performance and reduce anxiety levels.
