How can i make a public speech without becoming nervous when standing infront of people.?

- don't look at people in the eyes
- look at somewhere in the background (at something inanimate)
- make sure you're prepared - it will give you more confidence
- practice beforehand in front of the mirror, or even better, in front of friends/family
- dress comfortably yet elegantly in something you like wearing or know that looks good on you (then you won't be concious/worried about your attire)
- just keep in mind that people in the audience are not out there to judge you - they're there to hear what you have to say

Think of happy thoughtS!

it is VERY hard....just try to concentrate on something else. If you know someone in the audience try to look at them

There's really no easy way to do this. The best way to ease your nervousness is to be COMPLETELY prepared and know your stuff. Other than that, try not to focus too much on the fact that you're in front of a bunch of people. Just try to pretend you're practicing your speech in front of friends and family.

An ancient roman general once said, courage can be tought, as a child is taught to walk. All you have to do is practice and you will not be consumed by the fear.

just clear your mind think of happy things and relax

Everyone gets nervous.. I always feel better by saying to myself that everyone else feels the same way... and that they dont want you to mess up.. they want you to do good.. and they all understand what it feels like to be in front of a crowd.

dont look directly at the people look beyond them

Look at them and visualize them naked. It works every time. Unless you are talking to a bunch of really big people.

dont look at the audiance a pretend that no ones there and make an outline of your speech on a notecard if you get nervours and forget and dont talk to fast

First, imagine yourself in the audience. When someone is making a speech, do you ever make fun of them? Do you even listen to half of what they're saying? Most people hear a speaker, but don't pay attention to every little detail.

Also...remember...the people you're speaking TO, are just people with their own insecurities. No one in the audience is better than you.

--Know your speech OUTLINE. It's easier to remember an outline than to memorize the speech.

--Focus on one person and just look at that person throughout the entier speech.

--Don't concentrate on worrying if you did a good job or not. You know this speech topic, now give it!

Do it more often. That is really the only way to become comfortable with it. And to make it fun, make a few jokes and make the listeners laugh. Assume that they will enjoy your speech rather than be nervous that they will not like it. If you speak with confidence and look like you are having a good time it will make a big difference. Just pretend you are talking to a small group of your friends.

I am a college student, taking a class on public speaking. Might i suggest reading the book Dale Carnegies quick and easy way to effective speaking. It is a very helpful book. and it only costs like $10. or you could try Public Speaking And Influencing Men in Business which is another Dale Carnegie book.

sooth yourlself before your speech with a bar of chocolate, be extreamly prepared, make your attitue very airy before your speech so that even if you make mistakes you can just shake it off. and picutre objects instead of people, also don't worry if they're lights, you won't see anyone. but one big advise again, is to just be over prepared and chocolate

Nerves are normal. First of all, tell yourself that it's normal to be nervous, and there's nothing wrong with it. Talking to some classmates about the nerves will make you feel better, too.

Thorough preparation, and picking a topic you're actually interested in are very important. People sense enthusiasm, and react to it positively.

People all like to laugh. If you can insert some appropriate humor into your speech, it breaks up the monotony of listening to a group of people mashing through boring stuff. Getting a couple laughs will make you feel much better, too. Humor doesn't have to be about the topic, necessarily, you can describe some mistake you made in researching the subject, or something funny about closely related material, or about the process of doing the speech itself. "Today, my butterflies and I would like to talk about..." "Man, I expected butterflies in my stomach, but these feel more like BATS!"

Above all, practice the speech, and practice it with intonation. Do not just talk. Raise and lower your voice, scan the crowd, making brief eye contact with all of the room. Remember to breathe! People often talk too rapidly when nervous.

Develop a routine before speaking. Some call this a mantra, or meditation. It gets you to start confidently and mechanically, and once you get going, the butterflies will settle.

Remember, what are they going to do? Kill you? Eat you? Imagine the very absolutely worst thing that will happen. Usually, our fears are unrealistic.

Realistically, the worst thing might be forgetting some material, or having somebody not like the speech. Tough luck for them. Nobody pleases all the people all of the time. Your job is to DO the speech, and put in the elements that your teacher expects.

Smile, act confident. You'll be fine. When the speech is over, you'll be relieved, and your friends and family will still love you, whether the speech was good, bad, or indifferent!

practice, practice, practice so you are completely comfortable w/ WHAT you are going to say. Practice while standing in front of a mirror so you can see yourself visually. Make yourself note cards w/ just 3 - 4 words per card. Use these to keep yourself on track w/ your subject. Write large enough on the cards so that you can just glance at them w/o having to pause.

Public speaking is a world wide problem. Many people suffer from it. You need to be comfortable with your speech. Practice, practice until it becomes your "best friend." While practicing, imagine you are infront of people, stand in front of a mirror and make eye contact with yourself. Talk to animals.

When the time comes, remember they are there to listen to you, not to judge how you look. Imagine they all have their eyes shut .......don't shut your eyes (I do that to stop and think as I speak, but it is rude to your audience.) Select several people in the audience and talk to them. Find 3 people, make eye contact with them. The rest you can skim over their heads.......it's not good form, but it's what keeps me from panicing.

Speak clearly and calmly. If you rush, people know you are nervous. Your first attempts may not be perfect, but you get better. My first time was on a radio!!!! I was horrible. But with practice I became calm eventually working on radio, TV and a lot of public speaking. Practice-know your speech--and put some emotion into it. You can do it!!
