Even the most confident professionals feel nervous before public speaking. The good news is, nerves are normal—and they can even help sharpen your performance. But when nerves take over, they can affect your delivery. That’s where training and preparation come in.

At The Presenter Studio, we work with clients who have to speak under pressure—live TV, investor meetings, high-stakes interviews. We’ve developed techniques to manage nerves and help you feel in control.

The first step is breathing. Shallow breathing fuels anxiety. Practice slowing your breath and grounding your voice from your stomach. This will also help you speak with more presence.

Visualisation is another helpful tool. Take a few minutes to picture yourself on stage, speaking calmly and clearly. It helps trick your brain into thinking you’ve already done it successfully.

And finally, focus on your audience—not yourself. Nervous speakers often worry how they’re being judged. But your job is to deliver value. Think about what your audience needs to hear and how you can help them.
