How do you talk smoothly?

Answer 1

There's an old saying: "How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice." To that I would add, visualize, visualize, visualize.

If you have a presentation coming up, the week before you're to present, imagine yourself in the clothes you'll be wearing in the hall we're you're presenting. Visualize yourself as supremely confident and imagine your audience being attentive and receptive.

Do this every night before you go to bed and every morning before you wake. See what happens. You'll be stepping into your image of yourself as a confident, smooth speaker as easily as wearing a second skin.

Answer 2

Hi there!

The main advice I would give would be to rehearse your speech and memorize it if you can, drink lots of water and warm up your voice, slow down your speaking voice and make every word you say purposeful, and try to calm any anxiety you have down before you speak.

Hope this helps!
