hey everyone! 🌟 just wanted to share some tips i've picked up on improving my public speaking skills. it's been a journey, but these have really helped me out. first off, practice makes perfect – i know, super cliché, but it’s true. try recording yourself to catch those annoying ums and ahs. also, know your audience! prep some jokes or stories that’ll connect with them. and here’s a biggie: don’t be afraid to pause. silence can be powerful. last but not least, breathe. seriously, don’t forget to breathe. hope this helps! 💪✨
