Anxiety voice recording I am 32 years old and have lived with anxiety for most of my life. After exploring numerous possible solutions without lasting results, I have reached a point of acceptance, as it seems there is no alternative. Recently, I have been preparing for the PTE English Speaking Test, which requires candidates to respond into a microphone. To practice, I have been using an online platform. When I rehearse my responses before recording, I am usually able to speak fluently and without hesitation. However, the moment the recording begins, I find myself stuttering, mispronouncing words, or struggling to articulate them clearly. What I find difficult to understand is why this occurs, given that I am alone in the room and not facing an audience. I had always assumed such challenges would arise primarily in front of other people or groups, yet they persist even in this private setting. Has anyone else encountered a similar experience, and if so, how have you managed it?
