Nervous help..?

Question

Well. This is my Senior year in school.
I have a nervous problem and senior year is gonna be all about presentation so we are ready for the "Senior project" which involves a 15 minute presentation. Anyways I want to know how to not care of what people thinks? I always have had this problem in high school for some reason. Like I don't breathe enough when I'm nervous infront of the class. Like I'll read something. For example read a sentence infront of the class I'll start my voice all loud. Then my voice starts to go lower after every word and so on. I don't know how to help myself from not breathing. Anyone can help me? I'd appreciate it.

Answer 2

Don't be nervous, I'm sure the manager is used to interviewing first time applicants. I would not wear your sports uniform, bring a change of clothes to school and change before you leave. I doubt anyone will laugh when you have money to take girls out and buy a car when (if)you're old enough. My advise is to be confidant during your interview and think about how you'd answer questions like "Name a time when you were involved in a project where everyone else wanted to quit and how did you handle it?" Another reason to not worry is that McDonald's isn't the only place in town to work, perhaps you could view this as a practice interview and follow up with Burger King or Subway if you don't get the job.

Answer 3

OK, first things first, go and talk to a favourite teacher or one who you know is kind and will be of some help.
I am a teacher and help kids out in a confidential manner like this all the time :))

A problem shared is a problem halved, your teacher should then speak to the music/singing teacher in the school to give you a little private time to show you how to breathe and control your breathing in a calm and controlled way (this is what I would do anyway :))!)
My son who is your age has a stammer/stutter when he is nervous and these exercises really help!
Please talk to your teacher and let us know how you get on.
Best of luck :))

Answer 4

Practice. Practice in front of you mirror. Practice in front of family. Stop and think a minute, how many are actually doing great presentations? Probably few. Also, plan your pause points in your presentation. Those are planned for you to breath. Then practice to make sure your pauses are in logical places. Public speaking is a bear for most people. The only real way to get beyond it is to do it a lot.

Answer 5

1) Realize 90% of Nervousness doesn't Show: Most of the symptoms of nervousness, butterflies, sweaty palms, faster heart beat, etc., never show to an audience. If you set your notes down on a lectern, the audience won't be able to see even shaky hands.

2) Written Material: Never, never, never, never, never write out a talk word for word unless absolute accuracy must be maintained as in legal situations. Otherwise, just make brief notes. A little spontaneity adds a tremendous amount of character to your talk. Written speeches are almost always boring, and when you read text, it is much more difficult to make a connection with your audience.

3) Committing Your Talk to Memory: Never memorize a talk word for word. Memorizing a talk word for word can actually lead to more anxiety. If something out of the ordinary happens or if you ever lose your place, you will put an extreme amount of pressure on yourself to get back. A better way to memorize a talk is to narrow your talk down to just a few main ideas and commit those main ideas to memory. If during your presentation you have additional time, you can add additional details to the main ideas, and if time runs short (which it often does,) you can rest assured that your main points were delivered.

4) Show up Early: Get an idea for the setting, mingle with your audience, and test any equipment that you will be using.

5) Take a Few Deep Breaths: When many of us get nervous, we tend to take shallow breaths. This robs our brain of oxygen and can create a negative reinforcing cycle. What happens is that we originally take a shallow breath out of nervousness and try to speak. Somewhere along the way, we realize that we won't be able to finish our sentence, so we speed up. That makes us more nervous, so we breath even more shallow. When this cycle occurs, just pause, take a deep breath, and continue.

6) Look for a Friendly Face: As you are approaching the front, make eye-contact with a few friendly faces in the audience. Smile, and they will probably smile back. It will put you both at ease.

7) Drop your Hands: Your hands and your gestures can add great impact to your delivery, but when you are not using your hands, just drop them to your side. It will feel awkward at first, but dropping your hands to your side is the most natural gesture you can use. For instance, when you walk down the hallway at your office, do you cup your hands in front as you walk? Is it more natural to lock your hands behind you when you walk? Probably not. In most situations, it is natural to just let your hands drop to your side. When you do this, it will allow you to make more purposeful gestures when you need to. (See Chapter 6 on Gestures and Movement.)

8) Speak Only on Topics in which You are an Expert: One of the reasons that speech classes and toasting clubs can actually make people more nervous is that the topics we choose to present on during these activities are topics that we put together after just a little research. If someone is going to ask you to present about a business topic, the main reason would be because you are the most qualified person to speak about the topic. You are qualified because of your experience. Your delivery should be as casual as if your best friend came up to you and asked, “How is your project going?” This will allow you to deliver your topic is a way that makes the audience feel as if you are talking to each person directly.

9) Be Excited about Your Topic: If you aren't, no one else will be either. If you give your audience energy, they will give energy back to you.

10) Practice: Rather than practicing your presentation in front of a mirror (when we do this, we tend to find things to nitpick that an audience would never notice,) try practicing your delivery by using it in a conversation with a friend or loved one. “Hey, have I told you about the project I'm working on…”
