Practice in front of a mirror. If you know your stuff you'll be more relaxed!
Practice, Practice, Practice! |

Dont picture them naked. Just try to remember that they are your peers, equal to you. They feel your pain standing up in front of that whole class. Just relax and try to have fun with it, when your having a good time, theyre having a good time. |

1. Practice a few times before u go to class.
2. Just take your time when you are up there.
3. Try to sound excited about what you are talking about!
4. Maybe think that they don't know anything about what your talking about and that you are there to just inform them/teach them about your topic
5. You will do great and good luck! |

be prepared. practice out loud and know exactly what you are going to say.
I like to write down what I'm going to say and practice it in my head while I'm writing - I usually write it out a few times. I then make my note cards and practice out loud until I am comfortable with the presentation and I don't have to look at the cards except as an occasional prompt.
Good luck! |

Try to keep eye contact. If you have difficulty doing that focus on a center point in the back of the room just a little above everyone's heads.
Speak clearly with good pronunciation and enthusiasm.
You should do fine! |

Use cue cards, quickly rehearse over and over, be prepared to change direction of speech depending upon feedback from audience. Next time don't procrastinate. |

Don't memorize. If you memorize, in my case, I tend to want to dump stuff out. And if you forget something , you feel lost.
Take your time. ( this is something that I need to do myself)
One thing that I have been learning is how to make sure Iyour presentation fits in your time slot. I have learnt and been told that you need about 1 slide per minute. So if your presentation is about 15 minutes, 15 slides should work.
Do you have a partner? The thing I found is that if you pay attention and listen to what your partner is saying during the presentation, when its your turn you do a lot better. Of course, I realized this yestarday, towards the end of our presentation.
And yes try to have fun with it.
All these are just suggestions. You don't have to force yourself to do these. For example, the eye contact thing doesn't work for me. I tell myself maintain eye contact, maintain eye contact, ..., and I lose focus on what I am saying. If you are like me and cannot look people in the eye, when you are explaining stuff, I would suggest looking at your slides ( stand sideways so you can look at both the audience and your slides by turning your head) while you are explaining, and occassionally just glance at the audience. I also realized this towards the end of my presentation, and it seemed to give me time to think, and get some quick input about what I needed to talk about.
Start out slow and quiet rather than fast and loud. I think this might make me more comfortable next time.
So, the key is to find out what works best for you. |

1-you have to be sure about all the things that you are gonna say. 2-Don't look at anybody's eyes if isnt necesary, focus on several far points in the room.3-Remember, the biggest part of your speech you say it by body language.4-take it easy. |

I used to be really freaked out when I went up to give speeches also. Actually I still am. Everyone gets nervouse sometimes, but some learn how to control it. First of all, you do have to practice a whole lot just to make sure that you've got your info down and you know it by heart. Before you go up there, you could look over your stuff, like a couple of handy notes to go over before you present. When you are going up there to present, take a few deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth to kind of calm your stomach down. You know that feeling where you get butterflies in your stomach when you get nervous? Once you are up at the front and there's not turning back, DON'T I repeat don't picture the audience naked, that will just make you laugh and then well, say bye-bye to a good presentation. Look over their heads, but don't make it obvious. If you feel comfortable with looking at the people then I'm not saying you don't have to. Just stay cool, concentrate, don't laugh, and you'll do fine. I know it. |
