Answer 1

As odd as this may sound, I think that it would be easier to adress a large group rather than a small one. Why? A small group can be very focused and hard to speak to because its much more personal. A large auditorium is more impersonal and not as intense since you can really transcend yourself into becoming an actor. Think about this, is it easier to speak to say 10 people that you know and know something about you or 200 people who don't know you as well and can't tell the difference? Just be certain to practice and know you stuff going in, that means doing the work and saying it out loud. Even a day or two ahead of time, find a couple of friends and have them listen to you give your presentation. I hope that helps a little, I used to have the same problem. PS: I talk quite comfortably in front of groups now, and think you will too!!

Some nervousness is good, it means you care about what you are doing. You need to learn to channel that nervousness and make it work for you. Rehearsing in front of a mirror (as previously suggested) is a great idea. Also, set-up a mock audience and have them ask you questions ... the more you can anticipate before you make your presentation, the less that will catch you by surprise. Practice timing also.

There are some physiological things you can do also ... deep breathing, drinking room temperature to cool water - no milk (will make you slur), no coffee - (may make you too hyper), no carbonated soft drinks - (may make you burp). Avoid acidic juices such as orange or pineapple juice.

Eat some protein shortly before your presentation. Avoid foods with tryptophan (an enzyme that will make you sleepy) such as: Turkey, eggs, cottage cheese, cashews ... Do some slow arm swings, deep knee bends & neck rolls. Keep good posture & wear comfortable shoes and clothing. As many distractions as you can take away, you'll pay yourself back in confidence.

After all that, you can always picture your audience in their underwear or nothing but their socks. Just make sure you know your material cold.

Good Luck.

My job requires that I get up in front of people a lot to present things. The best thing to do is breath. Do something really daring, like skydiving or driving a race car at 200 MPH. Then when it comes down to the presentation, you can compare something that is more nerve racking than just talking in front of people. Know what you are talking about. The main reason that we get nervous is because we are afraid of getting called out on a question or sounding dumb.If you know your stuff, than you can speak with confidence. You can also read books on presenting skills from the library.

Answer 4

I know a lot of people that get extremely nervous when they have to give a presentation or speech in front of a class. I don't get nervous because I took theatre all throughout high school, so I got used to it. But when I got really nervous my first time, I just took a deep breath, closed my eyes for a few seconds, and focused on just one spot. I stared straight ahead, not at any person, just at a wall or a picture on the wall. I stared at that spot, making it look like I was staring at the people, when I wasn't looking at my paper. My college offers a course that helps you overcome presentation anxiety. I suggest going to your campus counselor and asking if they have a class on that. If not, try doing breathing exercises beforehand and pretend to look at people. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

I have been speaking publically since I was a little kid, but I still get really nervous, so rather than try to deny it, I talk myself down before. For example, "Yes I'm nervouse, but I am prepared, I know my material. Everyone will be looking at me, but they are supposed to." Stuff like that and lots of deep breathing, because when we are are nervouse we tend to take short breaths that lead to hyperventillating. Make sure you know your material, get a good night sleep and remember you are only up there a couple of minutes, no big deal. Good Luck.

Answer 6

Think of how much more stupid you will look if you appear to be extremely nervous.
Then talk really slowly, acting like you're speaking slowly for emphasis and clarity. Keep your focus at an imiginary person right in the center of the crowd, and pretend you're telling a story to a few of your best friends.

What sort of video games are you speaking approximately? Basketball?? in simple terms loosen up and take it trouble-free. pass to the bathing room earlier a game too..haha that helps. it isn't the top of the international in case you're making a mistake jointly as enjoying, so in simple terms prepare fairly stressful and tutor your trainer which you're recuperating and which you're valuable on your skills!!

Answer 9

do it in front of a mirror first. if you can do that without freaking out then you should be okay. you are your own worst critic so by doing it in front of the mirrior you can see your body language and flaws easily and be able to fix them prior to your real presentation

Answer 10

I don't mean to be rude but if you are in college being nervous is the least of your problems. Why are you misspelling words like presentation? Use spell check please.
