Abstract

We all are aware of two commonly used terms “Anxiety” & “Communication”, the term “Anxiety”, can be defined as a feeling of worry, nervousness or unease about something with an uncertain outcome. And the term “Communication” can be defined as the imparting or exchanging of information by writing, speaking or using some other medium. With respect to Communication, there is a type of Anxiety known as “Speech Anxiety” which is faced by an individual while delivering a speech on a public platform. “Speech Anxiety” can also be termed as “Communication apprehension”, “Fear of Public Speaking”, or just “Plain Fear” which is faced by the majority of people when speaking to a group of people in a formal setting. Sometimes just the thought of giving a speech makes one feel uncomfortable and those feelings manifest into physical reactions such as sweating, stuttering, flushness, and dizziness. The person often forgets what he/she is going to deliver and feels unprepared; wanting the experience to end. Vividly we have divided these groups of people into three categories namely “Good”, “Average” and “Poor” based on their hold of the particular language, self-confidence and speaking skills. One can reduce these experiences and deliver an effective speech with vivid information, enough self-confidence, and manage the anxiety often associated with public speaking so that he/she can improve the content and the process of delivering the speech.
