I’ve explained before how good breathing technique not only helps calm nerves but also helps you pace your speaking.
Here’s a further exercise – essentially an extension of a breathing technique I’ve explained before – that will help you with your public speaking.
Breathe in through the nose and out through your mouth as I have suggested before. As you breathe in, count from one to five. Don’t rush, allow one second for each number. Hold your breath in for just one second. Now release it and count to five at the same pace as before.
Now try and slow your breathing by counting from one to six. Count to six as you breathe out too.
Keep working at it, adding more numbers until you can count to ten. Make sure you count the same number in as you do out. This may take several short bouts of practice over some days.
I hope that helps.
