How to Recover From a Disappointing Performance in Communication

Many students choke, tear up, or become nervous when speaking to a group. There are several strategies one can use to improve their speaking skills. If students choke up during an oral presentation, they should identify when and what the causes may have been. Comparing the speech one has given to a similar more successful performance can help one to improve their delivery. It is important to avoid gestures and mannerisms that distract your audience.
