” For me giving a speech at Toastmasters is pretty scary – I notice it more at the end of the speech when I sit down and I feel myself shaking! But I don’t hold back when I am speaking (from a stuttering point of view) so I haven’t had any problems with stuttering, and people always comment that I appear to be really relaxed. However, I don’t feel that I am in a dominant position when giving a speech – I feel that it is more an interaction between me and the audience, and they are there to support me. I am lucky that my Toastmasters club is quite small and very friendly! So I am working on establishing more of a connection, eye contact, pausing, etc. I did my Speech 2 last week and it was definitely easier than the first speech. So hopefully the increased confidence will also affect other areas of my life and areas in which I hold back more. I am also planning to incorporate some of your public speaking exercises into future speeches”.

Det l\u00e5ter utm\u00e4rkt. Man kan t\u00e4nka sig att tr\u00e4na med svenska medlemmar i TALAkademin som kan engelska. Det har vi ju alla l\u00e4rt oss lie i skolan. Jag \u00e4r \u00f6vertygad om att vi i Sverige har l\u00e4rt oss tillr\u00e4ckligt mycket engelska\u00a0f\u00f6r att kunna tr\u00e4na via SKYPE. Det \u00e4r v\u00e4rt att unders\u00f6ka. Det \u00e4r anledning till att ta kontakt med en engelsk stamningsf\u00f6rening med det snaraste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
