How to stop fearing the stage
The root of fear is the unknown. 10–20 successful talks in a friendly atmosphere are enough for that fear to fade. The cure for fear is laughter.
🧍
The speaker's basic stance
Feet shoulder-width apart, toes out 30–40°, 60% of your weight on the front foot, upright posture. The main principle: be comfortable.
👁️
Eye contact and pace
If you don't see your listeners, they don't see you. Speak more slowly, with pauses and intonation.
🚶
Moving on stage
A few steps across the stage and the extra nerves are gone. Move 30% of the time, stand calmly 70%, always facing the audience.
🛟
The difficult listener
Keep your own state, work for those who support you, and only then kindly win back those who drifted away.
