I am not involved with public speaking yet, I am still a bit shy when it comes to facing the crowds, so next time I will concentrate on a particular individual. :) wow, that’s impressive, how are You using the skill?

Everyone feels more connected - speaker and audience. I've been speaking now for about ten years and have been fortunate enough to get through to a couple of national speaking finals in the UK. How about you - are you involved with Public Speaking? Hi Martyna

Don't overdo it though. It's easy to intimidate people when you look directly at them. A few seconds here, a few seconds there and keep looking for the smiling faces, they lift your spirits. Hi Ryan

My only formal training in public speaking was a single class in high school. In that class they recommended looking "above" the audience. For example, if there were 5 rows of people sitting, stare at an imaginary sixth in the back. I was never too keen on that idea, and the idea of personalizing seems a lot friendlier and sensible to me! .-= Ryan Cowles´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.metacomdesign.com/blog/2010/03/taking-train-across-the-country-part-one/" rel="nofollow">Taking a Train Across the Country – Part One</a> =-.

Presenting and public speaking is really a daunting topic for most people so almost any assistance to allow them the best way to conquer their fear is definitely considerably valued.
