In this podcast, a vocal coach and therapist, shares valuable tips for stress-free performance:

• The Four-Hour Rule: Preserve your voice by reserving four hours of speaking at full power for essential vocal work.
• Speech Structure: Divide your speech into an introduction, main body, and conclusion to make it easy for the audience to understand and remember.
• The 20-Second Rule: The audience evaluates you for 20 seconds before focusing on your speech content.
• Separating Personal and Professional Identities: Shift the responsibility of your performance from your personal identity to your professional one.
• Using an Alter Ego: Reduce nervousness by imagining yourself as someone else, such as a celebrity or a confident figure.
• Proper Breathing Techniques: Breathe through your nose and down to your belly to calm your body and brain.
• Focusing on Your Message: Concentrate on the content of your speech and prepare in advance to minimize distractions.
• Camera Tips: Attach a photo of a friend or pet to the camera to feel more comfortable and reduce fear while performing in front of the camera.
