1 Know your audience

One of the first steps to prepare for any public speaking situation is to know your audience. Who are they? What are their needs, interests, and expectations? How can you connect with them and provide value? By researching your audience, you can tailor your message, tone, and style to suit them. You can also anticipate their questions, objections, or feedback, and prepare your responses accordingly. Knowing your audience will help you feel more confident and avoid surprises.

2 Practice and rehearse

Another key to boosting your confidence when speaking in public is to practice and rehearse your speech. Don't rely on improvisation or memorization alone. Instead, write down your main points, structure, and transitions, and practice them out loud. You can use a timer, a recorder, or a mirror to monitor your pace, volume, and body language. You can also ask for feedback from a friend, a coach, or a mentor, and make adjustments as needed. Practicing and rehearsing will help you polish your delivery, improve your fluency, and reduce your anxiety.

As someone who taught public speaking to college students, I always recommend that you rehearse multiple times and in multiple ways. First, rehearse your speech a couple times in front of a mirror. Notice the facial expressions you are making and what you are doing with your hands. Are you making any distracting noises with your hands like jingling your keys in your pocket. Or are you making any weird faces as you speak? Then make note to change those things. Then, present in front of your family or friends - it can be a small group. And ask them for feedback. Are you talking to fast? Do they notice a lot of ums as you speak? What do they notice about your body language or how you are standing? This will be helpful in preparing you!

3 Visualize success

A powerful technique to enhance your confidence when speaking in public is to visualize success. Visualization is the process of creating a mental image of a desired outcome, and feeling the emotions associated with it. By visualizing yourself speaking in public with confidence, clarity, and enthusiasm, you can train your mind to believe that you can do it. You can also visualize positive reactions from your audience, such as applause, smiles, or compliments. Visualization will help you boost your self-esteem, calm your nerves, and motivate you to perform well.

4 Breathe and relax

Before you speak in public, it is important to breathe and relax. Breathing deeply and slowly can help you lower your heart rate, blood pressure, and stress levels. It can also help you oxygenate your brain, improve your focus, and enhance your voice quality. Relaxing your muscles, especially your face, neck, and shoulders, can help you release tension, prevent stiffness, and express emotions. Breathing and relaxing will help you feel more comfortable and composed when speaking in public.

5 Engage your audience

One of the best ways to boost your confidence when speaking in public is to engage your audience. Engaging your audience means creating a rapport, a dialogue, and a connection with them. You can engage your audience by asking questions, telling stories, using humor, or inviting participation. You can also use eye contact, gestures, and vocal variety to show your interest, enthusiasm, and empathy. Engaging your audience will help you create a positive atmosphere, gain feedback, and adapt to their needs.

Humor is my method of choice. If I can get their attention enough to smile or laugh, I've got them engaged and listening. Carefully chosen stories are what I rely on to connect to and engage an audience. Depending on the audience and speech, I may ask a question or make a surprising statement to get attention and engagement. And..make eye contact and smile! The audience is rooting for you!

6 Learn from experience

Finally, you can boost your confidence when speaking in public by learning from experience. Learning from experience means reflecting on your strengths, weaknesses, and areas of improvement after each speech. You can learn from experience by evaluating yourself, seeking feedback, or watching a recording of your speech. You can also celebrate your achievements, acknowledge your challenges, and set new goals for your next speech. Learning from experience will help you grow as a speaker, overcome your fears, and enjoy the process.
