Author Topic: Public Speaking  (Read 2190 times)

I have a required public speaking class that I am taking this semester.  We will write and present 5 speeches.  I have a tremendous fear of speaking in public.  I get extremely nauseous and sick.  I sweat and stutter.  Any tips?  I really want to get through this course without feeling ill.

Write it all down, and don't steal Yuki's avatar.

Write it all down
Hmm, let's think for a moment.
We will write and present 5 speeches. 

Also people tend to make up for awkwardness with humor, keeps some jokes handy. :P

It was a fad thing cigarette, lots of people used it.  We aren't allowed to read it verbatim.

First, keep calm and breath deeply. You should also think of the members in the audience as your friends. Just don't be paranoid about what they're thinking. If you're scared of their negative thoughts, negative things are going to happen.

Indeed it was a cigarette fad.

Just don't care about what anyone thinks. Try to convince yourself that the room is empty or something, and try not to look at anyone else but the teacher. After a few presentations you will probably feel better and not be nervous or anything anymore.

I have it easy. I enjoy it when people laugh at me.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU THATS WHAT I WANTED TO SAY. D:

Just stare at an object behind the audience and pretend you're talking to it, lol.


I don't know, I'm used to public speaking, it's fun.
