Basics of Public Speaking Breathing

Public Speaking Fearlessly does not mean there is no fear.

We are no longer plagued with saber tooth tigers, but there are enough areas of doubt, uncertainty and traffic in the world to keep from tossing fear entirely. With Public Speaking how can the Adrenalin rush, the fight or flight syndrome or get them before they get me attitude create positive results in the world of Public Speaking. (Try saying that paragraph in one breath)

Its all about the breathing. Any fear lessens when breathed into.

Our life is totally governed by our breath and so too success in speaking is governed by our breath. As with any exercise regime we must learn when to take the in breath to prep for the exertion and the out breath to complete and relax. To accumulate the power to say it, and the exhale to be heard.

So in speaking before learning the subties of abdominal breath, circular breathing or throat singing, get a coach to help with the basics to add the pauses that refresh speaker and the audience.
