One challenge common to many speakers is "dry mouth", where the mouth becomes dry, making it hard to speak. In case you don't have a source of water handy while you're speaking, Professional speaker Lilly Walters suggests these cures:
- Think of a juicy lemon just cut open
- Carefully bite the side of your tongue with your back teeth
- Press the top of your tongue into the top of your mouth
- Bite lightly on the inside of your cheek
- Take a pinch of salt in your mouth
