Hi all,

I was wondering whether anyone would have advice as to how to become a bit more confident in my approach when speaking in group settings.

In the past week, I was in a group setting, and asked a question - I had an idea as to what I was talking about - I didn't inherently feel nervous about being asked.

But, upon me answering, my breathing started going a bit inconsistent, i.e, short for breath and my voice went shaky, face went red. Perhaps, it is a confidence thing, but in that moment I did not feel anxious about speaking or answering.

This has happened on a few occassions, and I was wondering whether anyone would have any advice, tips, exercises - or anything I could/should do to improve on this?

Thanks!
