    Put yourself in a position you can't turn back. Then you have to do it stage fright or not.

    I've been in the same situation actually...
    RELAAAX it's not a big deal these r humans watching you not monsters...
    it's ok if u're scared or so...u r totally allowed to start ur speech with "i'm shaking" :D they'll encourage you...
    when is it? you're speech?
    and what is it abt!!!! it kinda depends!!

    Well who do you have to do the speech in front of? Peers; classmates you've known for years? If so just TELL yourself that! I did & I was easily able to do it, in fact it's helped me ever since; that is finding what I have in common with my audience. Also, if it's for marks just relax & do it, don't be afraid to be OUT THERE! Just do it for your grades & yourself, forget the audience is there & pretend you're practicing at home to yourself! Using a steady & loud speech, bodily & facial movements! You'll do a terrific job!

    I have the same prob, I go all trembly and hot, my voice shudders an all. What works with me is practising the speach before saying it in a large hall, and looking at a certain spot hovering over everyones heads when I actually do the speach.
    You will still feel the symptoms but if you are prepared it won't show.

    Have your best friend sit in the back of the room and if its dark put a light by them or somethin so you can see them and just speak to them. act like your only talking to them. seeing a friendly face makes things loads easier. joke with your audience, hearing them laugh and react to your speech will help also. just kinda to kinda boost your self esteem

    I agree with the comment above mine. Once you face the fact that you can't get out of it, it's easier to deal. Also, pep yourself up beforehand. Take some extra time to look good that day. It sounds shallow, but it helps you feel confident. Do what you can to put yourself into a frame of mind that makes you feel capable and sure of yourself. Really, it sounds silly, but whenever I have to do a presentation, I psych myself up for it. I'm a pretty shy person, but I pretend. I make myself a little more arrogant, a little more sexy, a little more reckless, and then I rock it. ROCK IT.

    See, I'm doing it now. : )

    Concentrate on something thats the only way that i can do speeches...just look at a friend or stare at the wall or something, also i wouldnt wait until the last minute get it over with so that u dont hav to think about it longer because it will make u dread it more and think about it more...

    I've done SO MANY speeches and have so many more coming! this wednesday its infront of city council and it gets put on tv and a lot more to schools and i was kinda nervous, but it helpped me to think, this is what i gotta do, so get it done.

    also, think about when your hearing a speech, if you see someone nervous, you just feel bad! and if they mess up, its no big deal, sometiems its cute or funny!

    "im yours" by jason mraz

  • BREEawNUHH

    The second one. The Veronicas suck, IMO.

    And stage fright: don't concentrate on all of the people, just concentrate on the words of the song. Also, I've noticed that when people are frightened, they speed up when they sing -- don't do it, because it'll completely throw you off.

    You have to sing?

    It could be worse. Just thank the stars you're not singing solo, with nothing but a piano or guitar accompanying you.

    Some hints...if you think you can sing, you'll have no problem. If you think you're terrible, you're in trouble. It doesn't matter whether you can sing or not, really. It's how you handle it.

    Be very well prepared, jot things down on note cards ,in case you forget from nervousness. know your subject matter well and you will feel more confident.
