  it you need to make eye contact, look at the their brow much easier

  Please believe me when I say your problem is quite common. I don’t know if anyone is completely calm when giving a presentation, but the main thing is to be prepared. Know your material inside and out and know your audience. Believe in yourself and realize that no one is perfect. Unless your audience is right under your nose, don’t look exactly at any one person. Take some time to think about what it is that makes you feel the way you do. Don’t wait to be called upon to stand up there–volunteer to do it first. Be brave and good luck.

  I hate public speaking as well and the best way I’ve found to get over it was literally to rehearse the presentation until you know it forwards and backwards in you sleep.lol. I’m not sure if this will help but it helped me realize that the only person who is listening to your speech is the professor or what have you, most fellow students are focused on their own presentations and after they presented they more than likely have already lost interest on whats going on inside the room. Also I might find someone who is in a public speaking course or something along those lines and ask them how they do it.

  Unfortunately, it’s all in your head. You’re afraid to stand before a crowd and talk to them because you feel vulnerable, exposed and lack confidence. And what if you make a mistake! Would the crowd throw stones at you? No. Of course not.

  Well, you will never be able to talk before a crowd until you change the way you think about yourself.

  First, make a list of all the people that you have sat in front of because they were giving a talk, lecture, presentation, whatever. Impossible, huh? You can’t even remember any of them unless they are your instructors!

  Now try to remember what you thought about just one speaker. Did you sit there and think, “This person has a bad hair cut”, “And he missed putting his belt in a loop on his pants”, “Hmmmm his glasses are thick”. So what! If someone would think those things of you, big deal! Most people seated before you make your presentation are talking to one another; not stripping you with their eyes.

  Get over yourself! You are just like them. They are just as antsy about giving a presentation as you are! But they look mighty confident from the podium, don’t they? Well, they face the same fears as you and besides they will never remember you and your presentation a week from now, a year, ten years!

  Just pull yourself up to your full height, shoulders back, chin up and put a itty bitty little smile around your lips. Walk up to do your presentation, arrange your papers, slides etc and then stand before the group and make your smile bigger!

  Believe it or not, they will smile back! They’re your friends. They want you to succeed!

  After your presentation, you will have gained a great deal of confidence and pride in your accomplishments. Then get back on the horse as soon as possible!

  I was so shy that I thought I might die if I had to speak before the class. I knew, however, that it was inevitable and I worked on my fears by forcing myself to talk to one or two stangers everyday. When it came time for my presentation, I was good and my essay was a success. The instructor “praised” my work and I was ready to take back the stage and read them everything I had ever written! I was hooked…lol. A ham a guess! Oh…and I talk sort of funny. I have a lisp.

  Nobody laughed at me. Nobody even remembered me or my essay.

  I’m over it! And you will be too!
