How do you stop your voice from shaking when public speaking? “How can I stop my voice from shaking when speaking in public?” I get this question all the time. Whether it’s a Zoom presentation, a talk on a big stage, a media interview, a panel appearance, a one-on-one meeting — any public speaking really — sounding shaky, squeaky, or choked up gives off the wrong impression. Studies have shown if your voice gets high-pitched and your breathing is shallow, you appear anxious or not confident to your audience. I want to help you avoid that unpleasantness. Watch: How to stop your voice from shaking when public speaking. ▶️ Here’s a glance of what you’ll learn in this episode: #1: The biggest one: don't wing it! One crucial yet neglected tip is to come prepared for every speaking engagement. If you know where you're going in your speech, you'll be less nervous and your voice will be less shaky. You can’t start strong and end strong if you just wing it. #2: Know where you're going with your speech. How are you going to start your talk strong? What's going to be in the middle, the meat and potatoes? How are you going to come up with a powerful end? Planning all of these will make people remember you and respond to your call to action. Having that beginning, middle, and end laid out on a post-it note or bullet points will help you know where you're going in your speech. You'll be less nervous, and your voice will be less shaky. It will make such a huge difference rather than just jumping in front of your audience. #3: Know your audience; know what they want to hear. All of us deal with a lack of confidence at one time or another. I deal with $12 billion companies, and the people there still have mindset issues. But I will say, once you make it about your audience and serve them, you’ll feel a lot less nervous. Focus on their needs and what they need to learn from what you're going to say. That will take a huge amount of pressure off yourself. #4: Truth be told, becoming an effective speaker also relies on what you eat, drink, and when you sleep and exercise. Don’t underestimate how important maintaining your health is to your performance as a speaker. Exercise helps you use up that nervous energy. It could be just walking the dog at 5 a.m. or jumping jacks, sit-ups, yoga or even for five minutes. Eating right fights off inflammation; drinking lots of water and limiting caffeine keeps your vocal cords hydrated and prevents them from getting shaky. Getting enough sleep — seven to eight hours a night — staves off brain fog, and having a sharper mind makes you feel more confident. I use a free app called Water Llama to track my daily water intake, you can download it here: https://waterlama.com/ #5: All about breathing! Here’s a great bonus tip I use before any major training for thought leaders and experts if they get nervous: take deep breaths with very long exhalations. It works wonders. The same thing is true for our kids and grandkids during potty training. If they are so nervous they just can't relax and go to the bathroom, you can use the breathing tip for them.
