  1. You are getting the material ready, so how about managing the fear of giving a speech?
      1. involves some natural nervousness and anxiety, a factor that helps improve performance.
        • , by contrast, involves intense fear and self-doubt that inhibit effective self-expression. Previous negative experiences and various types of
            can cause nervousness. The
              (expecting something catastrophic to occur), the
                (believing listeners expect perfection), the
                  (thinking you must please everyone), and the
                    (exaggerating the effects or consequences of errors) all contribute to debilitative anxiety.
                  • Fight back by using the nervousness to your advantage, understanding the difference between rational concerns and irrational fears, maintaining a receiver orientation (this is for them and not about you), keeping a positive attitude where your

                        is spontaneous and unplanned. A manuscript speech is a prepared text that is delivered word for word. A
                          is learned by heart and presented without notes.
                        • Other delivery considerations include appearance, movement, posture, facial expressions, and eye contact.
                        • Auditory aspects of delivery include volume,
                            , and pitch.
                            • , perhaps the most important nonverbal behavior, should try to avoid a number of problems such as deletion, substitution, addition, and
