There are lot of consequences if people cant be able to speak in public.
People who cant speak up in meetings, People who cant stand up in front of others, People who cant sit in the interview panel may have to face regret, failure, pain for the whole life.
There is a feeling that came inside the person who is standing and speaking in front of other and this feeling is like butterflies in the stomach. Now there is choice in front of everyone, first is person could escape from this and second is to face this. If the person is going to escape from the fear of speaking, he might feel the pain for the whole life but if he tried to overcome from it, he might win from the butterflies in the stomach. Its not easy task, there are hundred of questions running in the mind which makes the person stressed, fearful and nervous.
What if I forget?
This is very normal situation what we feel while speaking that what will happen if I forget my speech. Abundant knowledge is must and there must be good preparation when we are going to address people. But rather than choosing a tough speech or rather than cramming the speech, its better if we concentrate on life time examples and a normal talk. This we help you to be calm and also help the audience to attach with you while you are speaking. Moreover the fear of forgetting will reduce.
English?
This is also main concern of people. But I want to ask one thing that why English? Just think that English is a language not your status symbol and there are many languages in the world. If you are not good in English then choose some other language. Other alternative is that if you are a learner then speak in a mix language and this will hopefully help you to remain unstressed if you are not getting a proper word while speaking English. What matters is the level of confidence not language and you will learn English day by day.
What people will think about me?
This is the very common feeling that we feel and it is the main cause fear. Here we should train our mind in such a way that everyone sitting in front of me is not genius. They also struggled in the same way that I am doing today. The difference is that they are passed from my position and I have to achieve. Another thing is there might be very lay audience in front of you, so it doesn't matter that what are they thinking. Person should only concentrate on what he is going to teach/speak/advice to the audience.
These are the basic mental question, rest of the skills of speaking are far away and that can be learned with practice.
SO KILL YOUR FEAR FIRST
