Have you ever watched Devil Wears Prada?

I always pretend like I'm Miranda Priestly when I need to give a speech. That way I feel like everyone is beneath me and they praise me so much, that even if I am talking about absolute ********, they will applaud me for being the baddest bitch in the game.

I just remind myself that most of the people who I am speaking to mean nothing to me, and probably never will. I don't fret speaking in front of my friends because I know they'll love me regardless.

Good luck, i LOATHE public speaking
In small groups or with my friends im the loudest person on earth and never shy but as soon as a whole crowd/whole class are infront me i get fidgity like **** and my hands sweat

Try imagining everyone in their underwear....well....if you fancy any of the guys in the room then maybe not

Don't get me started on public speaking. I hate it.

I hate public speaking. Especially now that I have super anxiety, I can't imagine doing it.

I love public speaking I guess the thing that always gets me through it when presenting to a class is that everyone else is as nervous about giving the speech as I am. That, and they are really on my level, rather than being some expert on the topic who will think I am stupid I always found the best way to prepare was to learn the speech pretty much by heart and giving it in front of a mirror, and then in front of my family. That always calmed my nerves. When I got up to gave the speech, I made sure to speak clearly and relatively slowly so everyone could understand, and it meant that if I made a mistake I could correct it clearly rather than getting lost in my words

In that case, just keep calm. Everyone else is in the same boat and will be just as nervous. Just imagine you're talking to a big group of friends rather than giving a formal speech. If you feel comfortable talking in front of them, they'll feel more comfortable listening to it.

the best tip i can give is to just BREATHE. when you get up there and you see everyone looking at you and you get that horrible nervous feeling and you're shaking, and you feel like you can't speak, take a deep breath. you will immediately feel a lot better. guaranteed.

also, look at people in the audience in the eye before you start talking. i don't know why, but for some reason i found that it reassures me. and just go up there, confident in what you're gonna say and how you're gonna say it, and try to remember no one's gonna eat you. lol

I loathe public speaking.

What I do is that I don't specifically look at people's faces, I look at the back of the room, at the wall or something. Don't make it look too obvious though.

remember, everyone else probably isn't even paying that much attention. they're just as nervous as you are, probably going through what they're gonna say in their head, ******** themselves about what to say when it's their turn. if you have a choice, try to go first or ASAP, to get it over with. the more people you see speaking, the more nervous you get because you'll just be imagining all the possible things that could go wrong.

I know it sucks, but there's a few things to do to make it less horrible.

1. Practice, practice, practice. Go over it the night before. Do it in front of family members if that helps.

2. Think about how you feel during others' presentations. Usually, I'm just ignoring them and not really paying attention, which is probably what most of the people in the audience do. In fact, they aren't paying much attention at all and aren't there to make you feel uncomfortable. Just go up and act like yourself and be confident and relaxed.

3. Use the bathroom if you have to...seriously.

I hope this helps! Good luck!

My english gets worse when I am speaking in public.

You just have to be very good prepared

I always had a weird thing with public speaking.

Sometimes it was really easy and I didn't mind it.

Other times I freaked out, stumbled, and was very nervous

Upon finding out your topic.....

Quickly think of 3 main points that you want to emphasize.
If possible, write them down on a sheet of paper as quickly as you find out about your topic

Introduction
* Begin with a short anecdote relating to the topic if possible.
* Briefly mention the 3 main points that you will talk about. Be specific about your main points. Say, "1,________", "2, _________", and "3, ________" Or you can say "First, _____", "Second, ______" and "Third, ________". This will give your speech structure and help your students and your teacher easily follow your speech. Plus, it will serve as guidance for yourself.

Body of speech

1st point: State the first point and elaborate a bit. Incorporate an example if possible.

2nd point: [Same as above]

3rd point: [Same as above]

Try give clear indications that you are starting a new thought or focusing on a new main point. Ex: "Second of all, __________ (insert second main point)

Conclusion

Restate the topic of your speech. Additionally, quickly restate your 3 main points in a similar fashion as your introduction (listing them, but in a conversational way).



As for your audience, if they're students they are generally spacing out during your presentation. Don't be worried if they are giving you dead expressions. It's not because of your performance. They're generally bored.
