People fear public speaking more than death, according to Jordi Casteleyn ánd a lot of scientific surveys 😉 It is a fact that many presenters experience public speaking stress, which has a direct impact on the quality of their talk. Why not battle it with improvisational theatre?

After all, the techniques of theatre are the same techniques of communicating. Casteleyn and his team investigated the impact of improve theatre training on public speaking skills, with a specific focus on eye contact, body language and voice training. The conclusion: persons with a below average level of stress may feel the impact more quickly—the effect will especially be felt in the long term—, but everybody can enjoy these brief moments of play and fun. 😉
