Before the first public appearance, a person inevitably experiences excitement. In some people, this is expressed in a sense of mild anxiety, while others may experience real panic.
Instruction manual
one
The success of the presentation depends on a solid knowledge of the material you are about to present. Learn everything and repeat several times in front of a mirror, in front of friends or family members. Start overcoming fear in small audiences. After several workouts, you will feel a certain confidence that you can successfully perform in front of strangers.
2
Give yourself the right to make a mistake. People are imperfect, and you are no exception. The audience is almost always positively tuned to the perception of the speaker. Therefore, even if you make a mistake and mix something up, no one will drive you out or condemn you. Imagine that you are running away from the hall under the whistle and the hooting of the audience. This is funny, unreal and not at all scary.
3
Do not let fear paralyze your body, especially your vocal cords. Before the performance, try to relax, and if it does not work out, think about something funny. For example, imagine listeners sitting in the hall in clown costumes.
4
Concentrate not on how you will look in the eyes of the audience, but on the result you want to achieve. Anyone who thinks only of business, forgets about fears. Even if you forget something during the performance, do not panic. Take a break, pick up the paper, relax and focus. The necessary phrases themselves will pop up in memory.
5
If you make mistakes during the speech, do not worry - this happens even with experienced speakers. Take some oversights and next time there will be fewer or no at all. In any case, this is your personal experience - benefit from it.
6
It is terrible for the first time, but as you gain experience in speaking, you will gradually get rid of fear. Train, perform, and each time you will do it better and better.
