I have a presentation coming up?

Question

O.K. i have to present my science project soon and i and so nervous. Does anyone kno how to get rid of these nerves and not make a idiot out of myself in front of everyone?

Answer 1

Relax. I had to do a speach class. It was tough, but hey, it is a learning experience. Just pick out one person to look at as you speak. The crowd will think you are talking to them. An old trick, but it works.

Answer 2

make sure you are prepared and know what you are going to say, this is half the battle. Once you are confident in your subject area you are ready to go before a crowd and present it. Sometimes it helps to make flash cards with brief ideas that you want to be sure to cover in your presentation.

Some tips for shy public speakers are to chose a focus point in the back of the room and look there. Make eye contact with your audience. Do not read from a book or paper, it muffles your words and when you lose you place you get flustered. Be aware of your body movement don't wiggle around, or figit while your talking.

Answer 3

All you have to do is relax and be confident. Pretend that no one is in the audience. How big of an audience is this going to be? However big it is, just pick a spot on the wall and focus on that, and don't look at the audience, they will only make you more nervous. These are the main things to remember.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll do fine. :)

Answer 4

this is the same as acting. TAke a deep breath before speaking. Calm yourself, and hte best way is to picutre everyone being dressed up a bozo the clown or some off the wall Homer Simpson getup. when you think they look funny, it helps with the nerves

Just remember, BREATHING helps to calm you down.
