Overcoming fear of public speaking

FOX25, myfoxboston - The excitement of a new job, the honor of being the best man at a buddy's wedding, or the chance to toast your parents at their wedding anniversary -- all of these wonderful moments can turn to terror if you're asked to give a speech.

As it turns out, study after study shows the number one fear of most Americans is speaking in front of a crowd.

In fact, research shows that most people would rather die than talk in front of a live audience.

FOX25’s Gene Lavanchy recently spoke with Richard Zeoli, author of the 7 Principles of Public Speaking, about how to conquer this fear and captivate a room rather than clear one.
