  • When I'm giving presentations or talks, all of a sudden I get nervous and my voice starts to shake.
  • I still know the content, but yet that just happens to me.
  • So I'm assuming more practice, but also if you had other tips.
  • Why do you think it's not shaking right now?
  • Maybe I'm here among friends.
  • If you feel more comfortable, it's low stakes.
  • The pressure is on me and there's not as much pressure on you.
  • Is that fair to say?
  • Yes.
  • I'm not the expert here.
  • All right.
  • I've got a couple of things I'd love to share with you, Lynette.
  • The first thing I'll say, and I want you all to try this.
  • Hold your hand out like this.
  • Okay.
  • Now I want you to tense it really hard.
  • Tense it really hard.
  • Tense it really hard.
  • What happens when you tense it really hard?
  • What happens to your hand?
  • It shakes.
  • When we're under pressure, what happens to our voice?
  • facial expressions and our body is we tense.
  • And when we tense up with our body, all of a sudden, it causes our body to vibrate.
  • And when your body vibrates, it's because you're really tense.
  • So first of all, you've got to understand the best way to relax your body is by breathing.
  • I'll give you five tips.
  • The first tip I'd give you Lynette is before you go out and you do this presentation in person or virtually,
  • I would encourage you to do three cycles of Wim Hof breathing.
  • It's called guided bubble breathing by Wim Hof.
  • I promise it's not a cult.
  • It's just a way to get lots of oxygen into your body.
  • And by oxygenating your body, it starts to relax your mind and your body.
  • So you're not so tense.
  • And then if your body is not really tense, then you won't shake.
  • If you can get your breathing control, that should cure that completely.
  • if it doesn't, if your voice is still shaking, that means your vocal muscles are tense and you have to relax that.
  • So the way to relax your vocal muscles, and I want you all to do this with me as well, I just want you to yawn, just do a loud audible yawn, just go... Wonderful way to relax some of those vocal muscles there.
  • Third thing you can do, this is something I learned in the world of theater.
  • One of the biggest muscles in your mouth is your tongue.
  • So you want to move your tongue around your mouth while keeping your mouth closed.
  • So you do this.
  • You do that twenty one times to the right, twenty one times to the left.
  • And if you're doing this for the first time, it may get a little bit sore for you.
  • But again, that just starts to relax your tongue a little.
  • I suffered from this when I started.
  • Being an Asian kid growing up in a small community to throwing me on stage, speaking in front of thousands of people, definitely had the shakes.
  • Next thing, this is for your articulators, your mouth.
  • You want to make these sounds.
  • You want to make, you want to say ee, oh, ee, oh.
  • Continue that for at least a minute and that relaxes your facial muscles.
  • The final thing I'll say is add more volume.
  • And as you add more volume, you relax your body, you relax your mind, you relax all of the muscles.
  • It allows you to get rid of the majority of it.
