How to Stop Breathlessness in Public Speaking Posted By : The Voice Lady

One of the most common complaints I hear from my clients is that they run out of air in public speaking. Because of nervousness, many people often walk onto that podium or up to that lectern and begin speaking before their legs are even in place with no regard for acknowledging their audience. They wait until they are totally out of air and then they audibly inhale, trying to catch up on their air supply. So the next time you stand to give a speech or make a presentation, acknowledge your audience first, take a breath, begin speaking and then supplement that balloon so that your air supply is never depleted.
