I am facing lack of self-confidence. I can't make speech before audience. How can I face the public & make speech before audience or on stage ?

The first step to building confidence, in my opinion, is finding out what you truly want. Over the next week, whenever you feel down, depressed, insecure, or frustrated, start making a list of all the things you want. They can be little things, like, "I want a glass of water" or big things, like "I want to ride around the entire world in a hot air baloon." Just write down everything and don't censor yourself. Then after a week, and even throughout the week, look at the list and decide which of those things you can do something about. Then start doing it! Some of the things might require little steps first, but if you really want it, then you can do it. As you start seeing that you can do things that make you happy, your confidence will grow!
As for the actual speaking, I always make sure that I know my material really well, but that I'm not afraid to make adjustments as I go along. Then remember that chances are they won't remember what you said five minutes later, so if you make a small mistake, half of them are sleeping anyway and the rest won't notice. Practice, practice, practice! And good luck!

The best way to feel more comfortable about speaking in public is to prepare. Know what you are talking about. Study your topic so that you will be able to answer any questions the audience might have. Self confidence comes with doing a good job. If you have researched your subject well and you know what you are talking about, you have nothing to be afraid of. After all, these people want to hear what you have to say, and they are only people, just like you. How many times have you sat in an audience and listened to someone else speak? Did you ever think about how that person must feel? Usually we don't, we are too interested in hearing the information the person is giving to us. Don't be intimidated by these people. Just get up there, do your best and let it go. Good luck and God Bless!!!!!

You know, i've had the same problem too and i've found that the old trick of imaging the audience is naked is just silly and doesnt work....The only way i've found that works for me is to keep READING IT, and READING IT, and READING IT until the speech becomes such second nature that it's just part of your soul. When you get up their to read it you will know it so well that you can do it in your sleep regardless of who is listening.. I also highly recommend you practice saying it (after massive practice) to complete strangers...not your family because that is too easy...in front of strangers will be like doing it infront of your real audience.
Its interesting because i really can see where you are coming from..I was just like that...I think it just took time for me to gain my self-confidence and now when i want to do a speech i even get this feeling of "I'm the sh-t and can't do no wrong!" before i do it which helps a bunch

Watch how different human beings do it and imitate

pratice your speech. if you have a video camera tape the speech. check for your mistakes. have your family or friends sit and listen
then go out and make your speach.
think about everyone out there as children and you are giving them a lesson. makes it easier than thinking they are peers

what most people do:
imagine the audience in their underwear.
