Public speaking is a perishable skill for me———I did lots of meetings & presentations in my previous lives & felt I was informative & entertaining— but find now that I’m out of practice—-right before I’m about to go on——my throat closes up—I can’t seem to take deep breaths——my language is still there & i know what I’m trying to say———but the steel band around my chest keeps them trapped-:)
I know that practice would cure it———–even doing Monday morning meetings at a real estate office keeps the skills up—–
You’re a great speaker Boris—-funny—a voracious reader with lots of material— a good user of props (like the You Tube videos)—when do we get the pleasure of you in Calgary again??

I am amazed at anyone who can get up if front of any audience and speak like they are talking to a crowd of friends. You nailed it when you said Practice, because that is the only thing that will get you up there and sounding good. It is refreshing to see, that even you Boris has had your fun times up on stage because a lot of people think that public speaking is a natural born gift, but it isn't - the gift to gab may be. To put together a well thought out speech that will have your audience interested and listening to you is work. Then you have to present that speech, in an audible fashion. That is more work and time commitment. To anyone just starting out and wanting practice, I suggest the Toastmasters club. They meet once a week and you quickly learn public speaking and get to practice every week. Time well spent to learning the art of public speaking. Public Speaking is very scary.
