Does your voice shake when you feel nervous?

The most common question I get on social media about public speaking and communication skills is... How do I reduce the nerves when I'm talking to others?

You have to first understand that when you're in a high stakes situation, such as a job interview, or speaking in front of a group of people, nervousness leads to your body shaking, which leads to a shaky voice. But nervousness comes from a build up of adrenaline because your body is preparing for fight or flight.

That's why I always recommend BEFORE engaging in any high stakes situation, release the excess adrenaline through Wif Hof breathing, star jumps, pushups or a brisk walk.

By doing this, when you enter the high stake situation , you are way less likely to shake because you've removed that adrenaline from your body!

Let me know if this helps!
