Answer 1

Check out the web site for The Stuttering Foundation of America. They have online videos and brochures for all ages. Their books are also sent free to any public library. Check your library and if they don't have them, tell them to contact the Foundation to get some. Here are some tips from the foundation on using the telephone that can be adapted to speaking in public:

Practice should help you to feel happier.
Talk about what it is that you fear happening and what you can do about it.
Openly admit that you stutter. This may be very difficult if you have avoided talking about it all your life. Practice talking about your stuttering. Many people have said that talking about it has reduced their anxiety and fear.
Give others the benefit of the doubt. If they know you stutter then they are prepared to expect some silences.
Finally practice, practice, practice.

Answer 2

IF YOU ARE A STUDENT - THIS ANSWER IS FOR YOU! Public speaking was once my biggest fear. I found that by writing down exactly - word for word - everything I wanted to say -and then practising it several times - aloud, in the privacy of my own home - helped enormously. Once you are over the initial trembles at the start of your presentation - you will find that you CAN do it and it won't be so bad. Try to remember that everyone else will probably have to do a presentation as well. All of them will be nervous to some degree.....some more than others and some even more than you. Find a kind face in your audience - a friend or even your teacher - and maintain eye contact with that person while you are talking. Controlled breathing beforehand will help. Don't deep breathe - it will only increase your heart rate - each breath your breathe in should go for four counts and slow it right down and breathe it out for eight counts. A stress management course taught me this. It actually seems to calm you right down. I don't know how it works....but it does. Volunteer to go first and then you will not be sitting there sweating it out until it is your turn. Good luck - hope your presentation goes well!
IF YOU ARE A TEACHER - THIS ANSWER IS FOR YOU...
Maybe you should think about a career change......

Spiritwalker and Jesse have the right idea. Work with someone. Don't work on this alone! That makes getting up in front of people even harder.
Most people hate getting up in front of others to make a presentation, confidence in yourself will calm you. Since you didn't say what grade you are in, I could suggest Mom and Dad, but, and please don't hate me, get little brother or little sis to listen to you. Let them laugh at your stuttering. You'll know what parts to really work on. This would work with a best friend also. You wouldn't mind your friend having a giggle or two at your expense if its going to help you improve. Good luck!

whenever you get frightened (or panic), your adrenaline glands pumps something called adrenaline into your blood. it relatively is truthfully liquid power, and it will show you how to do issues frequently impossible. extremely of having the ability to advance 100kg weights at max, you may now raise 180kg weights, run two times as quickly etc. that's something we've progressed into as a protecting gadget, clever in case you for some reason get chased by utilising a undergo or something comparable. The shaking itself comes out of your innovations this is having a no longer worry-free time identifying no rely if to run or stay and combat. Apparantly this is going by utilising the call of "the combat or flight intuition". to verify you do no longer pass down and not utilising a combat, it makes you shake to stay unsleeping (yay rhyming). this would additionally ensue while your innovations can no longer understand what's going on, like while prevailing $a million'000'000 from the lottery. Shaking or goosebumps etc. is an worry-free thank you to tell if the physique only is frightened.

Answer 5

Go to a pharmacy or health shop and buy a homeopathic remedy called Kali Phos. It's just a very dilute form of potassium phosphate and no-one can explain how it works, but it does. I used it in my driving test and job interviews - it calms you like magic, and you don't feel in the least bit over-relaxed, drowsy, fuzzy or anything like you would with even a herbal tranquilliser such as vervain, wild lettuce or valerian.

Good luck!

Answer 6

i'm the same way and i hate it. and i would tell you to picture everybody in their underwear, but that doesn't work. so, what i do, is the day before, i practice what i'm gonna say over and over again until i can do it in my sleep. then when the time comes for me to get up and talk( and my hearts beating out of my chest), i just focus on one thing. the back wall. it really helps if you stare over everybodies heads (not at the ceiling, just right over). don't make eye contact because that just makes you more shaky and nervous. and even though it's really hard, just tell yourself, i can do this, i did it at home, i can do it here, i can do this. it'll all be over before you know it. hope this helps.

Answer 7

Fear of speaking in public is the most common of all phobias. Unfortunately, the only way to over come it is to do it. Before you do, practice, practice, practice. Either in a mirror, or with your family. You'll be surprised how knowing your subject makes you more confident. Good luck.

Answer 8

practice! start by yourself in your room. Then try it standing in front of a mirror. Then try it out on your folks. or maybe a friend. Practice makes perfect, it really does! Good luck! (oh and when you are up on stage / in front of the class, try to look up when you can... but look at the back of the room if you dont like looking directly at people if that makes you nervous. Then they will think you are just looking behind them!)

Answer 9

Take a small drink with you, when you get upset take a small drink and a deep breath. Also, don't look at anyone when talking, look at a spot on the wall in the back.
