Relaxation is critical for speakers.
It removes excessive tension which negatively impacts the respiratory, digestive, muscular and circulatory systems, and generally impairs performance by literally tying up the body in knots. The audience forms an impression in the first few seconds as the speaker approaches the speaking arena. What the audience wants to see is a person who appears confident and at ease. Nervous people make them uncomfortable. The relaxed presenter connects with the audience and starts positive vibes flowing immediately.
