Well, in general I’m a pretty confident person, but as soon as I’m put in a speaking situation that confidence drops. I experience incredibly bad anxiety, and Part of it is because I get anxious whene...

I think that would help a lot of people to. So here's what has helped my speach. Speech therapy, reading out loud, practicing words to myself. Also improving my mental and emotional health has been th...
