What is the greatest fear students have when making a speech?

Question

What are students greatest fears when speaking?

Answer 1

Most people's biggest fear in giving a speech is that they will forget what to say next, or lose their place if they are reading their speech. Some students fear that they will stutter, or their voice will get shaky or when in front of a crowd.

The best way to prepare for the unexpected is to try out your speech on friends, family, and to video yourself so you can watch it back and fix what you don't like in your presentation! Make sure you over rehearse your speech sometimes under less than ideal conditions- such as fresh out of bed in the morning, or at the end of a tiring day. Even if you are using notes or a script, the more memorized you are, the more comfortable you will be!

Answer 2

The greatest fear students have while making a speech is speaking in front of people!

Research shows that more people are afraid of speaking in front of others than any other thing. That includes wild animals, spiders, death by falling, car accidents, etc. People are terrified of public speaking!!!

The important thing to know about yourself is whether or not you are one of these people.If that is the case, preparation is vital to overcoming the 'nerves'. Once you are prepared and know you are prepared, the overall fear and anxiety will be much less.
