Here's how you can build confidence when presenting in front of large audiences at live events.

Ser experto en le tema que vas ha exponer , gran confianza en ti que tu discurso sea preciso claro y consiso, nunca abuses de lo coloquial y depediendo de tu audiencia opta por el tono a utilizar. Esta es una recomdación muy personal: es primordial que seas una referente en el tema que vas a exponer pero a tu audiencia no se lo hagas evidente a mi me ha funcionado

My advice is to practice and visualize. Before approaching the audience, I visualize how I will feel after delivering the presentation. I focus on the positive outcome, my hand movements, and my breathwork while speaking. This kind of visualization helps manifest the best experience and boosts self-confidence internally. If moments of nervousness and anxiety still arise, I remind myself of the key points I want to deliver and imagine how I would feel if I were an audience member. Taking it lightly and speaking in a conversational manner helps, as we are all human and learning in our own paths.

To build confidence when presenting in front of large audiences at live events, preparation and practice are key. Familiarize yourself with the content and rehearse your presentation multiple times. Visualize success and positive outcomes. Focus on your strengths and expertise, reminding yourself of your capabilities. Utilize relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or visualization, to calm nerves. Engage in positive self-talk and remind yourself that you have valuable insights to share. Lastly, start with smaller speaking engagements and gradually work your way up to larger audiences to build confidence over time.

When you’re getting your content prepared for a live presentation you’re going to give, immerse yourself in the content in many different ways or stages. Write out your content as if you’re writing a blog post on it. Write out your presentation as you would give it word-for-word. Pull out the main points from that transcript. Practice your talk once or twice from there. Trim down your bullet points again. Practice your talk once or twice again, then you’ll probably know your content in your sleep at this point.

I often make a list of topics rather then read from a prepared statement. Then I record myself ahead of time to decide which ways I say things works best and flows together and rearrange my topics in order of best flow together so it’s natural. Go thru it a dozen times till I do t need my notes but have them just in case. Imagine you’re talking to the one or two people in the audience you can actually see.

No ramo em que atuamos (eventos sociais e corporativos), não existe uma receita pronta de sucesso quando se lida com públicos variados, que vão desde classes A até D, com gostos completamente distintos. Cada show é sempre único. Fazer gravações pode ser um bom ponto de apoio para identificar melhorias em seu show, mas ter uma equipe capacitada, conhecer o público para o qual você está se apresentando e ter um plano B ou C em relação ao repertório são dicas preciosas que ajudam em eventuais situações.

It’s important to know your material, and the time it will take for each point. I use my watch’s timer feature to see how close I can get to filling my time without running on or pauses.

Practice and recording your presentation are essential steps to improving your public speaking and event hosting skills. By rehearsing your delivery multiple times, you can refine your content, work on your pacing, and build confidence in your delivery. Recording yourself allows you to review your performance, identify areas for improvement, and adjust your presentation style accordingly. This feedback loop helps you enhance your speaking abilities and become a more effective and engaging presenter.

To master the art of public speaking, the key step is to know the audience's demands and what they are expecting with the event. It will help you connect with them and deliver a message that resonates with them. Interact, engage and end the event with an impact. Establish a rapport with your audience by making eye contact and hand gestures. Speak with enthusiasm so that people would want to listen more from you.

After a brief intro, ask a question, then answer with several perspectives to have them imagine which is closest to theirs. It’s valuable to relate a personal experience which maybe more revealing giving the audience one if your own life experiences and how you handled it. Again relating to the audience. Make them feel Find the part of your talk you’re passionate about, tell them why & how it affects you. Being funny is relatable but can be alienating too. Keep humor more self oriented like make fun of yourself for not knowing something you learned thru your work. Remember to smile, look happy and relaxed. Be passionate and focused on what’s important to you and the listener and imagine that they’re successful after hearing your talk.

To engage your audience, allow your body and vocal range to do some of the work for you. It's not all about what you say, body language, vocal tones and intonation will convey huge amounts and engage an audience. Find different rhythms, pitches, and qualities to inform your audience of the meaning behind your words. Allow your body to speak, if you don't naturally gesture as you talk that's fine, just allow your body to breathe - meaning don't stiffen up. Allowing your body to breathe and speak will also feed energy to your audience and provide this reciprocal relationship where you can feed off each other.

Engaging with your audience and involving them in your presentation is a powerful way to create a dynamic and interactive experience. Encourage participation through questions, polls, or group activities that invite audience members to share their thoughts or experiences related to the topic. By speaking with them rather than just to them, you foster a sense of connection and collaboration that keeps the audience actively involved and invested in your presentation. Leveraging the knowledge and perspectives of your audience can enhance the overall engagement and effectiveness of your presentation.

An easier way to engage your Audience is to not "rap" through your presentation; relax, breathe and make your speech pattern slower, often ask for confirmation of understanding.

When visualizing success, it's important to consider not only the desired outcome but also the steps and potential challenges along the way. By planning ahead and anticipating various scenarios, you can better prepare yourself to overcome obstacles and navigate unexpected situations effectively. Visualizing success in its entirety allows you to create a detailed roadmap, set realistic goals, and develop contingency plans to stay on track towards achieving your desired outcome. This comprehensive approach enhances your preparedness, resilience, and adaptability, ultimately increasing your chances of success in reaching your goals.

One thing I have found helpful is knowing that only a small percentage of my nervous feelings are actually visible to my audience. It’s important to keep this in your mind during your presentation.

Managing anxiety through breathing exercises and power poses can be highly effective in calming nerves and boosting confidence before a public speaking engagement or event hosting. Deep breathing techniques, such as diaphragmatic breathing or box breathing, help regulate your heart rate and reduce feelings of anxiety. Power poses, like standing tall with hands on hips or raising your arms in a victory stance, can increase feelings of empowerment and decrease stress levels. By incorporating these practices into your pre-event routine, you can center yourself, alleviate anxiety, and project a confident presence during your presentation or hosting duties.

in managing anxiety as hard as it sounds you have to wash away the fear of messing up or not getting it perfectly, in short accepting there might be mistakes made, removes the fear of error.

Take a deep breath in through the nose, holding for a count of four and breathing out through the mouth over a count of 5. If you are standing keep the knees soft, with feet slightly apart, if sitting centred over your hips where possible. Imagine, if you can, that with the out-breath the energy is flowing through to the floor connecting you to the ground. This very quick exercise just before you speak will help contain nervous energy, and help bring focus to your mind.

My approach to stage nervousness is to always remember that it’s not about me. Sure I’m on the stage speaking to numerous people and the spotlight is on me, but my attention is always on how can I make this more fun/ engaging/ educational for my audience rather than worrying about what they think of me. This mindset shift helps me take my attention away from being self conscious to giving more value. Hope this helps!

there is strength in uniqueness, as being free in your own skin can greatly inspire and it's a contagious feeling as it reflects how other people want to feel and be, also presenting in your own way is the easiest way to present as it has been practiced all of your life consciously and unconsciously.

Take care of your voice!!! Your confidence not only shows in the visual but the verbal and a confident voice connects with the listener on a different level. Before any presentation, warmup your voice!!! Do voice exercises, sip water or a honey candy to keep your throat moist. I often find confidence shines through voice so take care of it.
