Some people fear public speaking. But the fear most often turns out to be unfounded, since there are no reasons for it, except psychological ones. To stop being afraid, you need to take control of emotions.
Instruction manual
one
Carefully prepare your future performance in front of an audience, think over the components. Build the structure of speech: try to make it understandable, vivid and memorable. Perhaps you should prepare visual aids that will give confidence and distract the attention of the audience from your person.
2
Rehearse the performance in front of the mirror several times; well, if you find a listener who can listen and give some advice. Try to bring the prepared speech to automatism, up to the alleged pauses and intonations.
3
Have a good rest the day before the performance. Get out of your mind thoughts about the "Day of Judgment." Do not try to stimulate confidence with alcohol or medicine, so as not to harm the body, because at the right time you will not be able to concentrate.
4
Shortly before the performance, listen to an energetic melody or song that will help you tune into a fighting mood.
5
If possible, check out the room where you will be performing. Decide where you will stand or sit.
6
Before the performance, say hello to people, smile, look in the eyes. You need to understand that in front of you are ordinary people who need useful information.

Relax - this will prevent the appearance of fear or shyness. Take a slow breath. Imagine that you are well held, calm and confident.
