The fear of public speaking is a well documented one that is not easily overcome. Like many abilities, including musical, it is usually accomplished with much practice and experience. The average person just doesn't speak in public that often to get very good at it.
ReplyDeleteIt's strange to explain but I understand what you're saying about the audience. Around the age of 12 I started giving talks in front of a 400 member church, later in college I was more nervous in front of a class of 20? I found that the more personal you make it, the harder it is. You do fine, just try and relax.
