Eliminating Stress in Public Speaking

By Daria Schabad

Delivering a Public Speech in front of an audience can be a huge stress factor for many individuals and even experienced professionals. It can be very nerve wrecking and intimidating, especially when doing so for the first time and even more so when the language is not our native tongue.

The approach I use in my speech coaching “class” is to address the hidden and often subconscious causes of my client’s fear of public “performance”, and once identified, I help to overcome that anxiety by providing real consistent tools you can rely on in the future to deliver a confident and stress-free public speech.

To provide my clients with the best service possible I lean on my extensive experience in Public Speaking at The London School of Economics, where I received my BSc in International Relations, my extensive Acting and Speech Training in NYC and my knowledge of foreign languages. Apart from English I speak three languages fluently – German, Russian and Spanish. This knowledge allows me to have a deeper insight into the use of language in general and helps me greatly to identify additional difficulties, when the language of your speech is not your native language.

As a working actress here in New York I have had extensive experience working on stage and in front of the camera. I have significant experience working as a spokesperson with a teleprompter (Autocue) and without and I have had the extreme pleasure of working with high profile individuals such as Alec Baldwin.

Be it that conference in Germany, that exciting job interview in Russia or that important meeting in Spain I will be there to assist and prepare you for that big day so that you can be confident in your language abilities, your presentation skills and quality of delivery.

Call me at 212-219-1075 to arrange a a speech coaching session.

Oh and I’m an experienced speech writer and would work on your copy as well. I oftern bring along a teleprompter specialist with a Presidential Prompter aka Autocue or Speech Prompter. This is an invaluable aid not only for practice but for the actual delivery before the audience.
