How To Become A Public Speaker During Self-Quarantine?
Public speaking is a fear for most people, but don't worry, you have a great opportunity today to be a keynote speaker, as you can use your time in self-quarantine during the outbreak of the Coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) to get the necessary training that makes you a public speaker.
So if you find yourself keen to improve your way of speaking in front of the crowd, here are the five activities that you can take to become less nervous and more professional in speech, conversation, or the next presentation that you have to present.

- Start calculating your stuttering moments:
When you talk to people on the phone or with someone you live with, you are aware of how often you use verbal phrases and words of padding (like: umm, uhh, so, like, in reality, etc.), this will help you pay attention to your choice of word and repeat a number These slips in your sentences.
To get rid of this matter you must communicate visually when you speak, as this will help you to focus and use a smaller number of these words, but if you speak on the phone speak at a slower rate so that you can control yourself when you are about to say the word (mmm).
