ANYTHING!! pleez help, i cant do these things . help me pleeeez how do i get through all those eyes staring at me and me stuttering etc. HELP x
breathe inbetween sentences. and act confident from the second you stand up or enter the room. dont wait til you are in front or walking up there akwardly will actaully make you nervous good luck. dont skip. its a good experience.
dont skip i know public speaking can be frightful but once you start talking its not so bad. just calm yourself down and tell yourself that you arent nervous i just put everyone of my level and tell myself that theres no reason to be nervous. if you fuck up, whatever! its not the end of the world, laugh it off and keep going. its really not a big deal, in a few days you'll forget about it all and see how pointless it was making yourself a nervous wreck.
Go slow, if you start talking too fast just stop and take a breath. If your speaking gets shaky, stop and take a breath. Pauses make it seem like you're both collecting your thoughts and letting the listeners soak in what you just said. Just make sure they aren't outrageously long pauses. if you have friends in the class, look at them more than the rest of the class. Do look over the rest of hte class, but make the most eye contact with those you're the most comfortable with.
Keep it short and to the point and know what your going to actualy say..don't go off script. go through it once or twice so your comftable.. and defo don't talk like you type cuz like as already been said your gonna get f hehehehe. somebody said 'innit' once in a presentation at my work..
just know that they arent listening to you or paying attention...they are either daydreaming or thinking of what they are going to do when they leave...so chances are they arent even paying attention to what you are saying
wear something that makes you look really hot and that you feel confident in and just pretend like ya own it all even if you dont feel like it.
When speaking look over the audience..like at the back wall of the room or something. Don't stare at one spot but sort of scan the back wall making it look like you are looking at the audience. Just look a little above their heads and it will appear that you are looking at them
well i'm sorry if my typing has offended anyone (triangle soul and matthew-thanx for the confidence) i dont know whether I'm going to go yet,im still trying to decide...my nerves arent good. but thanx to the rest for advice!
I WAS ONLY JOKING...i was just giggling at her post because it was funny , i am sorry... I hope everything goes ok, and my advice i don't think was that bad ? (apart from what offended you that is).. Anyway good luck.
picture everyone naked. If that turns you on, then just masturbate. You will calm down real quick then.....
