That is among the five most frightening events reported by people. Trick is not to think about yourself. Think about THEM and what you are saying. Consider it an event happening to them, at which you are merely facilitating. And in fact that's true. They don't care, don't even want to know how uptight or relaxed YOU are, who cares about YOU, they're there for what you have to TELL THEM. So get with them, forget you, and concentrate on making sure you tell them all you went there to tell them.

It is natural to be nervous when speaking to a large crowd in public. In fact, most people are, including me. A survey has been conducted about these and most respondents who report feeling very comfortable about giving a formal presentation probably remember three important ideas:
1. The audience doesn't know that you are nervous;
2. You have the knowledge that your audience needs;
3. It's much easier to talk about your area of expertise than it is to give a talk on something that is unfamiliar (like a toast, an acceptance speech, or an impromptu talk).
Your body responds to stressful events (e.g., speeches, interviews, first dates, arguments with your spouse) in the same way it responds to physical danger. Your body springs into action preparing you for fight or for flight.
Don't try to be perfect; rather, try to have a good conversation with your audience so that they will benefit from your talk. If you believe that you must be a perfect speaker, then you will fail.
Don't act. Be yourself and demonstrate to your audience that you care about their needs more than you do your own level of comfort. Goodluck.

Despite what anyone says, there are no secret tricks to do well when speaking publicly. Everyone has different methonds and they all work for them.(Mine is to avoid when possible, and when I have to I stuff myself with food until I become uncomfortable and my discomfort with speaking fades). The most important piece of advice I can give a high schooler (I'm guessing) such as yourself is to do it a lot. The more you do something the better you become at it; i.e. Music,Cooking, or Sex. Just keep persisting and eventually most of your nervousness will disappear (never all of it though, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something).

Have no idea about your age. But had the same problem most of my life. You might consider joining a Toastmaster's group. They will help you overcome your fear and learn how to speak in front of groups. There are thousands of Toastmaster groups around the world so you won't have a problem finding one. It is not expensive to join and really is a lot of fun.

particular particular particular you will desire to bypass. in case you do not face your fears there going to maintain haunting you style of like the combat or flight reaction you the two combat it or run from it. counsel whilst conversing only evade intense pitch voices and look at everybody one after the different not purely one guy or woman. If that would not artwork concentration eye touch on the instructor and easily get entangled alongside with your writing no person likes a monotonous monotone guy or woman.....stable luck

Do what many others do...look at the back wall of where you are speaking and don't look at the faces of the people you are speaking to.
I do it whenver I preach, and once I feel "comfortable", I begin to glance in people's direction but not making eye contact.
(I've been preaching for 4 yrs)

You should do it sooner or later. Doing it once will help A LOT, i used to be scared of that stuff but now i love speaking to huge groups of people, including my own school 4300+ students.

So do I. All you have to do is remember that in the majority of those situations, no one is really listening to what you're saying. That's how I get through it.
