I dont know if it’ll work on you, but relaxation techniques could be a great help. try taking a deep breath for several times then.. SMILE. it will keep you confident. good luck!! =)
You should try it first with friends or family, I tried it and it worked, than just imagine you’rd infront of them for the real one. If it’s too late, good luck!
Meditation breathing will help to slow your heart rate and in turn relax and calm your entire body.
Take a deep breath in through your nose, completely fill your lungs, hold it…exhale pushing all the air out through your mouth. Repeat this for a few minutes, allowing your mind to clear.
Breathing is good. Imagine yourself presenting it confidently, what would you say, how would the audience react positively, what would you feel, what would you see?
It’s completely fine to screw a speech up though, it’s not the end of the world if you do. Just take your time.
You might want a bottle of water aswell.
To answer your question.. You can’t really stop anxiety. Anxity and excitement show the same brainwaves, it’s just the label you give it. So think of it as excitement.
Good luck
The first essential: Be Prepared
Preparation is essential because whenever you speak to other people they must have absolute confidence that you know what you’re talking about.Your listeners should feel that you know more about the subject than they do and that you’ve done some preparation for addressing them.
Another very important point of preparation is going over the speech out loud before you give it, so that you can change any words or phrases that you stumble over.If you do this , you’re almost guaranteed to do well.
The second essential :Make Others Comfortable
To make others comfortable, you have to appear comfortable yourself.It’s easy to say ”Be comfortable”, define it as People who are comfortable and who also put others at ease don’t overreact to events by getting uptight and causing others to do the same.We often do this to other people:We get upset with them rather than putting their role and our feelings into perspective.
The third essential:Be Committed. Being committed is crucial.Very few people freeze up, unable to speak, when they feel strongly about something.
The fourth essential:Be Interesting.It’s easier than you think to be interesting.It just takes a little imagination and some plunk.It’s difficult to be interesting if you’re not committed and vice versa.So these two rules work closely togather.No audience(no matter how small or large) will forgive you if you’re boring.This has helped me a lot, I’m not as nervous .When I’ve done my homework and I’m prepared.
