13.2 Managing speech anxiety

This activity contains 1 question.

Visit the Allyn & Bacon Public Speaking Website at http://www.abacon.com/pubspeak/ and review the five-part process for effective public speaking (assess, analyze, research, organize, deliver). Researchers agree that effective planning and preparation is one of best ways to overcome speech anxiety. Create your own planning outline and schedule for researching and preparing your next speech. What steps are most important in your own process? What kind of preparation do you find most helpful in dealing with apprehension and communication anxiety? Write a brief memo to summarize your findings, in the form of a letter to a friend who suffers from especially acute speech anxiety when confronted with a public speaking situation. How do the step-by-step processes outlined in the Handbook and on the Allyn & Bacon Public Speaking Website help to reduce anxiety and build confidence?
