Relax

Following up on the article on how to become a better speaker, I am addressing one point each day.  Today is 5. Relax

Relax. Due to nervousness, some people cannot communicate well with others. Shyness and anxiety can affect your speech. Learn how to relax. Breathing exercises can help. Once your mind and body calms down, your speech will be clear and understandable.

This is good advice.  Goes well with being present.  Working out before a speech can also help.
