Q: Whenever I have to speak infront my class, by myself, I get really nervous. I feel like I am going to throw up or faint. I know, it's really embarassing. So, do you have any tips on what I should do to not get nervous? Or anything I should say to myself so I won't be nervous? Thank you in advance.

Hey, I had the same problem. However, I read in a self-help book a method for calming yourself before you have to do a speech and it really works.
Visualize yourself making a speech in front of an audience, and visualize yourself being really comfortable in front of the audience. You do everything perfectly, you don't feel nervous at all, you look the audience in the eye, and deliver your speech with clear articulation without thinking about it. Play it out in your head the way you want it to go - like a movie. If you think you're going to screw up and visualize yourself doing it - chances are, you will screw up when you do it. But if you tell yourself "No, I am going to do this and I'm not going to screw up or get embarassed" then your mind will believe it and you'll find you don't screw up at all. It may sound funny, but it works. Try it.
