hey guys. okay, so have to do a HUGE presentation on Wendesday for school it is 15 minutes long, AND it is worth a big hunking chunk of my English mark.
so, i get really nervous in public speaking. the slightest thing that i say some of the guys in my grade will make fun of me. i mean, i could comeback at them no problem, but it just hurts me really inside.
so, i guess my question iss how ot be confident while public speaking, and not take the littlest things to heart? any help on not being nervous will help. ANYTHING.
thank you!! =P

Be prepared. Know your topic inside and out. Practice...practice...practice. Tell your presentation to anyone who will listen. Breathe deep. Concentrate on what you are saying. Pretend you are speaking to a group of friends. Don't worry about what people say about you. Be confident in yourself.
Use notecards (number them) for important information. Pause to get the point across. Speak clearly. Look around the room (or slighly above their heads). Smile every now and then. That will help you to relax.
You can do it!!!!

In the words of the Brady Bunch kids, picture the audience in their underwear. Good Luck and don't worry.
