How to Stop Your Voice From Shaking When Speaking to Large Groups

The Friction

When presenting to senior executives or a full auditorium, adrenaline rushes through the diaphragm. When air pressure is unsteady, vocal cords flutter, creating an audible shake.

The 60-Second Physical Reset

01
Drop Your Shoulders: Unclench jaw muscles and lower your shoulders by 2 inches.
02
Belly Inhalation: Breathe deep into your lower belly, expanding your ribcage horizontally rather than lifting your chest.
03
Lower Pitch by 10%: Speak from the chest cavity rather than the throat.
