I get so nervous in Public Speaking and presentations. Any advice please.

Just remember all the dumb fucks in the audience have probably no idea what you are presenting.

Can you do a speech sitting down? That might help.

@Abood3033 Can you bring one up on stage?

Too shy to do that@SimplyTracie

@Abood3033 Toastmasters suggest preparing your speech as if you’re just having a conversation with each individual in the audience.

What is the purpose of your 'thing' ?
Is it a get together with folk who know you or a presentation in front of an unknown audience ?

@Abood3033 Do you know your subject ?

@Abood3033 Then plan it out. Revise it. Write the entire thing down in longhand. Edit it. Practice reading it aloud and time yourself as you do. Make notes on the paper (pause here) (show diagram 1 here) (add humorous aside here) kinda thing.

Get confident in recognizing the points you want to make and ♦️Bullet ♦️point ♦️them.
Try and reduce that to the size of a postcard and you're a winner !!!
Use visual aids such as PowerPoint and handouts to the audience for you to go over....it keeps you from having to stand there and stare at them while speaking.
Ask them questions, ask them to get into groups and discuss certain topics etc.
Just standing there with no visual aids is difficult.
