do you notice when people are nervous as they are talking?

Question

I have social anxiety and was nervous presenting at a meeting. do you notice when people are nervous when they are speaking? if yes, how? I am reallt hard on myself after being nervous speaking.

Answer

My mom told me once that everyone in the audience wants you to succeed. So a bit of nervousness is no biggy. Most people will be rooting for you through the nervousness even if they’re noticing it

Answer

You can sometimes tell if peoples voices are shaking. But its not a big deal. Plenty of people get nervous talking in front of people. No one cares.

Answer

Only if you have a default word or saying you keep repeating to fill dead air. Truthfully I’m usually not listening on 99% of my meetings (all virtual) I read the recap notes or deck in the follow up email.

Answer

I still get nervous talking in front of meetings. Then when it’s over I think it wasn’t so bad.

Answer

I get nervous at the beginning, bit of a shakey voice, say “urrr” quite a bit, but then after a few minutes I calm down, but I see this in other people in a lot in meetings I go to from all different levels of management, I honestly wouldn’t worry, some people are born to present, but it’s a very small percentage, majority of people are like you and me, and it’s kinda accepted. The more you do the better you get. I find (where applicable) keep it light hearted, drop a few funny comments in, once I see the room engage and relax I then feel better. I sometimes stutter my words a bit, so I stop and say “sorry let me put my teeth back in” everyone has a little giggle then I’m good! X
