      This was great, I've been looking for "better public speaking and presentation" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Ganlizabetharn Glorious Gratification - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is an awesome one off guide for discovering how to master public speaking without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got great success with it.

      School just gives you stress, it feels like its on purpose.
      🤧🥶However, I have been trying to communicate better recently.
      Its a little bit like online chatting, except that its really orally.

    Timestamps:
    0:45 1. Practice from an outline
    2:04 2. Spread out practice sessions over time
    3:34 3. Focus on just just 1 or 2 improvements each time you practice
    4:22 4. Keep practice realistic
    5:25 5. Visualize first and last 30 seconds

    This is exactly how I prepare for my own presentations. It really works. Can't stress enough how important is to work on a skeleton of the presentation you are going to make. It will REALLY help you be conversational and sound enjoyable.

    Thank you! You were right. I was stressing over a vlog/science video presentation, treating it like a workout, filming for 6 hours with little progress. I also sounded like a robot, as I memorized the speech, and the delivery was monotone. The moment I focus on the range of tone, my brain stops because it wasn't what I memorized. I'll keep these tips in mind.
