Before the first public appearance, a person inevitably experiences excitement. For some people, this is expressed in a feeling of mild anxiety, while others may experience real panic.
Instructions
Step 1
The success of your presentation depends on a solid knowledge of the material that you are going to present. Learn everything and repeat several times in front of a mirror, in front of friends or family members. Start overcoming your fear in small audiences. After a few workouts, you will feel a certain confidence that you can successfully perform in front of strangers.
Step 2
Give yourself the right to make mistakes. People are imperfect, and you are no exception. The audience is almost always positively attuned to the perception of the speaker. Therefore, even if you make a mistake and confuse something, no one will kick you out or condemn you. Imagine that you are running away from the audience amid the whistle and hooting of the audience. It's funny, unreal and not scary at all.
Step 3
Don't let fear paralyze your body, especially your vocal cords. Try to relax before performing, and if you can't, think about something funny. For example, imagine the audience sitting in the audience wearing clown costumes.
Step 4
Concentrate not on how you will look in the eyes of the audience, but on the result you want to achieve. Anyone who thinks only about business forgets about fears. Even if you forget something during the performance, don't panic. Take a break, collect the papers, relax and focus. The necessary phrases themselves will pop up in memory.
Step 5
If you make mistakes during your speech, don't worry - it happens even with experienced speakers. Take note of the missteps and next time there will be fewer or no more. This is your personal experience anyway - make use of it.
Step 6
It’s scary the first time, but as you gain experience in performing, you will gradually get rid of the fear. Train, perform, and each time you will do it better and better.
