This book saved my life literally! I was terrified of speaking publicly, but this book's step-by-step instructions and practice exercises have been a complete lifesaver. I am far more confident and less anxious speaking publicly now. It's having my own coach that really gets it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who experiences stage fright!

Excellent content with a fabulous narrator

This is a comprehensive guide to conquering public speaking anxiety and is brilliantly narrated. Complex techniques feel accessible and achievable. The audiobook expertly weaves together practical TED Talk strategies with confidence-building exercises, and the delivery is all in a warm, encouraging tone that helps listeners feel supported throughout their journey.

The sections on body language and vocal techniques are particularly effective in audio format, as listeners can hear exactly how to modulate their voice for maximum impact. While some visual aid concepts may be harder to grasp in audio format, the narrator compensates by providing detailed verbal descriptions and real-world examples and there is the PDF download to back it all up as well. This audiobook serves as both an excellent introduction for nervous beginners and a valuable resource for experienced speakers looking to refine their skills, making it a worthwhile investment for anyone seeking to improve their public speaking abilities.

Recommended read

However difficult it may be to talk about talking, I believe this book describes it with an unparalleled applicable process. My only critique would be the lack of vocal excitement.
