When I write about fear of public speaking and stage fright, it’s from first hand experience. I suffered from severe stage fright when I made the decision to become a comedian.
While I have been totally free from stage fright for many years now, I have never forgotten what it felt like when I had stage fright — the nausea, excessive dry mouth, shaking hands, profuse sweating and the need for frequent urination before a show.
Now, it all seems so darned silly to me. But it certainly didn’t seem silly at the time. I had stage fright that was so severe that I knew I didn’t have a chance of making any real progress as comedian unless I could get rid of it.

I have noticed for decades now that there appears to be an accepted notion that public speaking and stand-up comedy are two very separate and distinct arenas when it comes to generating laughter from and audience.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. If you are involved with public speaking and you cause an audience to laugh, you are using stand-up comedy mechanics—the same mechanics that are also used when causing laughter to happen in a casual conversation.
Hint: If you are giving a speech or presentation and your audience members are sleeping, playing games on their cell phones or are otherwise disengaged, that’s an indication that YOU need to make some adjustments.

I think that a lot of people are under the impression that adding comedy and humor to speeches and presentations is somehow vastly different from developing a stand-up comedy routine.
Nothing could be further from the truth. The mechanisms for adding comedy and humor to speeches and presentations are EXACTLY the same.

You can become a master presenter, captivating your audience virtually at will. But, you will need to forget everything you’ve heard about eye-contact, body language, and voice – it’s likely either old-school, or just plain wrong.
In just 90 entertaining, knowledge-packed 90 minutes, you will see and hear for yourself what has been imprisoning the excellent presenter inside you.
But more importantly, you will learn how to finally break free of the common challenges that have ensnarled speakers and presenters for generations and kept them from public speaking greatness.
