how to get over ur shyness..& to be less nervous when talkin in front of an audience..?

Answer 1

I don't know if this works for everyone but it's a trick that I find works for me VERY well. (plus it is different I am sure you have heard the "imagine the audience in their underwear" but that never works for me)

My situation is ONCE i get into a public speech I am really good at it but at first I can get so nervous I can make myself sick. So what I like to do (talk to your teacher or supervisor depending on where you are giving this speech about this and make sure they know what you are doing) but simply get up there and just make small talk for only about 10 to 15 seconds with the audience prepare yourself and start out slowly (do not wait any longer then 30 seconds of people will wonder why you are talking about nonsense) but what that does it is gets rid of those initial jitters and it makes you realise that the people in the audience are humans just like yourself and when you can see they are paying attention to you and standing up infront of them is no different then talking infront of your friends you start to hang loose and let go. Give it a try.

Also if you are any good with MILD humor (DO NOT BREAK OUT THE KNOCK KNOCK JOKES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES) make a few small innocent jokes like whenever I have a long speech ready I like to go up and say something like "well hello everyone I hope you all have comfortable chairs because this will be LOOONG hopefully not boring but in the unlikely event you do get bored please keep snoring to a minimum and kindly use the floor or desk as a place to take your nap thank you for your co-operation :D" or if my teacher "forces" me to go up there as in he says something like "get up there or you fail" I like to say "well jeez I was just waiting for my red carpet that's all" and something simple like that helps relax you and break the water PLUS if your tongue is going to get in a knot it will get in a knot THEN so you'll end up saying "well jezz I vase vait- vad- wading- wait- waiting! for my red carpet" and its better to screw up on the small talk the then the speech.

Try it sometime again keep it short 10 to 15 seconds it just helps you realise you can talk and be yourself without having to be totally nervous. Just again talk to your teacher and just say "the first few minutes I am up there I am just going to take it easy maybe organize my papers and just introduce myself and talk for a few seconsd just to get started okay?" that way you dont lose points or respect for taking a few seconds to get started okay?

Good luck!

I recently had to get up in front of large groups 5 times in one week. I had never done it before and was terrified. Just before I went on the stage I sort of 'transformed' myself into someone else, like an actor does. I pretended that I was playing a part and it made me less nervous. I made a little joke at the beginning of the speech and when everyone laughed it gave me more confidence. I truly believed in what I was speaking about and thought to myself, if I don't get up and tell this audience about this they will never know. I felt great when I was finished and looked forward to the next time I could get up there again!

I used to get sweaty & light headed whenever I had to make a speech in front of an audience. My first college speech class, I remember shaking so hard that I'm sure my audience could see it, and my mouth was incredibly dry and my voice uneven! It was pure hell. But later I went on to major in Communication, and wound up speaking more and more. Practice helped. Speaking into a tape recorder helped. Seeing myself on video tape showed me some of my bad habits so that I could correct them. Just stay with it, do it often, and try to know that no matter what happens, it's all over when you sit down, and the next guy is on the hot seat then!

Be familiar with your subject, and practice what you want to say. Volunteer to speak in classrooms of children to get good experience! I was once somewhat shy, but after years of teaching, I can get in front of 500 people and my heart hardly flutters....as long as I have some idea of what I'm talking about! :)
