Hi Shubham, First up, let me congratulate you for identifying your area of improvement and willing to overcome your personal inhibitions. Remember, you've already done what thousands fail to do. Now, straight to the point. Being shy is human. Accept it and start learning to overcome it the way to learnt to walk as a child. Best and easiest way is to join in circles where public speaking is encouraged and is fun and learning. Find out the nearest chapter of TOASTMASTERS. Find details on internet. Contact them and join the programs. Environment is equally essential as initiative. So build a team of like-minded people and start practicing speaking for one minute on topics which need to express your personal opinion. This should be a good starter. Read a few books on public speaking to understand its dynamics. If you're interested to learn more you can start by reading Dale Carnegie's books on public speaking. Attend workshops and get real-time practice. Need help call me. All the best. Regards Ranjan Kumar read less

. Remember, when it comes to public speaking, you are not alone who is facing this challenge, all great speakers had this issue once. While going for public speaking, you need to:- 1. Know Your Subject 2. Give Structure to Your Topic 3. Talk in the language you are comfortable with 4. Repeat 100 times that you know best on the topic than your audience, it will give you confidence 5. no body knows what going inside you, so be confident with your outside postures 6. As other people suggested, practice , practice and practice read less

@ shubham... First of all everyone is shy unless he doesnt comes out of his frame of being shy. A person is a different individual hence being shy is just your mindset. Start practicing with the lesser no. of people & one day an audience of 10000 people would be a piece of cake for you.... Thanks Anish Do well. Everyone doesnt get an oportunity. You have got it then make out of it. read less

You can start by speaking on any of your favourite topic all alone in a room first and then on stage in an auditorium or in an OAT. Gradually ask 2-3 of your friends to join and try speaking in-front of them and see how much you have improved. Increase the no. of audiences and try to grab as much speaking opportunities as you can. This will make you a brilliant public speaker. read less
