Some people have a fear of public speaking. But fear most often turns out to be unfounded, since there is no reason for it other than psychological. To stop being afraid, you need to take control of your emotions.
Instructions
Step 1
Carefully prepare your future speech in front of an audience, think over the components. Build the structure of your speech: try to make it clear, vivid and memorable. Perhaps you should prepare visual aids to build confidence and draw the audience's attention away from you.
Step 2
Rehearse your presentation in front of the mirror several times; it's good if you find a listener who can listen and give some advice. Try to bring the prepared speech to automatism, up to the supposed pauses and intonations.
Step 3
Get a good rest the day before your performance. Get rid of the thought of "doomsday" from your head. Do not try to stimulate confidence with alcoholic drinks or medications, so as not to harm the body, because at the right moment you will not be able to concentrate.
Step 4
Shortly before your performance, listen to an energetic melody or song that will help you to get into the fighting mood.
Step 5
If possible, check out the venue in which you will be performing. Decide where you will stand or sit.
Step 6
Before you start speaking, say hello to people, smile, make eye contact. You need to understand that you have ordinary people in front of you who need useful information.
Step 7
Relax - this will prevent fear or timidity from arising. Take a slow breath. Imagine holding on well, calm and confident.
Step 8
During your speech, concentrate and do not think about how you look in the eyes of others. The main thing is to fully focus on the content of the speech.
Step 9
Pick a person from the audience and try to look at him or return with your gaze as you speak.
Step 10
Speak sincerely, without aplomb and pretense, try to be yourself.
Step 11
Speak to different audiences more often: fear will disappear with experience.
