Answer 2

I used to have a severe fear of public speaking, but learned how to deal with it.
1. Do not memorize your speech, instead write down your points and talk on them.
2. Keep Eye contact with your audience, scan the audience.
3. Just remember that no one is judging you and most of the other students in the class are just as nervous as you are , and might not every be paying attetion to you anyway

Answer 3

You can get over it, but it may take more than two days. At one point I had to do a lot of public speaking, and I found that I could get my self "up" for the task, by using a key word. I picked "showtime", and would often remark as I walked to the podium, "It's showtime." Anyone hearing it would assume that I meant it was time for my presentation. In reality it was using my key word to prepare me for my speaking time.

Answer 4

The best thing you can do is to practice in front of a mirror; doing that speaking to yourself is good practice. If you have the opportunity to practice in front of classmates, I would take advantage of that as well.

Put one or two notes on index cards. Practice from those as little reminders of what you want to say. Be sure to put numbers on the cards so if they fall you can put them back in order quickly. I learned that the hard way.

Answer 5

You have left it rather late. All you can do now is practice. Ask your friends and neighbours to hear your presentation.
If all else fails you could imagine your audience in a slightly less advantageous situation, like for example, you could imagine all of them wear a red reindeer nose.

Answer 6

i also suck. i also kno the pretend the audience is in their underwear thing does not work. people can also tell i'm nervous. i often forget my info or stutter or just kinda stand there. it's embaressing i kno. just try to hang on. when i get back 2 my seat, people make fun of me. BUT I DON"T CARE ABOUT THEM!!!! u should'nt either. to much stress girl! just tell them to either shutup or just plain ignore them. i kno it's hard to stand up to them or give them the cold shoulder(brrrrr) but it's gotta happen. i'm here for u girl!

Answer 8

try to look off into space while facing the audience. That way, the audience won't be scary, and the teacher will give you full credit.

Answer 9

public speaking is the number one fear, followed by the fear of death. you're not in the boat alone. try some breathing exercises. they help relax you and you can do them anytime and anywhere.

Answer 10

hey just think about everything you are going to talk about so you dont mess up but think no one is there and you are still practicen in your room! GOOD LUCK!
