Can anger improve public speaking skills?
Quit Rick Rolling me! asked:
My problem worse is making a steady voice. I could communicate and in mid-sentence, I lose my breath or something. Can I believe my voice track just outside. And then I take a moment to regain my calm. Apparently the fun because fellow classmates snicker. This leads to get angry. Can I use this in some way to anger help to focus harder? And finally the best of my ability to speak publicly?

You are not alone i too at 46 yrs suffer from the same.But the funny thing is that i so much want to be a public speaker, its because of this desire that i have realized that some negative force knows just how powerful and influential i can get if not stopped so they try to *** me by instilling fear and trying to *** my voice. When i discovered this, i no longer fear my audience but i promise this small devil whatever the cost they can never win the battle.I have come out very powerfully and have always received a positive feedback each time i speak in public. Unleash your potential because you have it.Dont fight with the audience, kill the small devil and move on.

Anger is a powerful emotion and can remove other emotions, such as stage-fright, but this shouldn’t be counted on because of part of public speaking is keeping in control. Anger can occasionally be used to emphasise a point, but can make you appear incoherent and unable to get the message of the sppech across. Practice maintaining a steady voice at home, maybe practice at home? And remember to breathe at the end of each sentence.
You could possibly highlight where to take a breath? I reccommend this to singers who have problems remembering to breath. Just a highlighted line in the places where breathing is convenient could make a huge difference. Good Luck

There’s no strength in using anger while presenting. However, you can use your anger to motivate you to overcome this difficulty. Sounds like you need to make sure that your breathing is slow and relaxed. You can practice this before you present. Videotaping yourself and zeroing in on what you can improve on is always helpful. Doing some relaxation exercises before presenting might also be a good idea for you.
