Unfortunately, there's no sure cure for halophobia, which most
of us know simply as "stage fright."
However, there are some fairly simple techniques you can use to
reduce the stress that comes with it. Even better, once you've
learned these techniques, you'll find them helpful whether you're
addressing an audience of one, a hundred, a thousand, or a million.
1. Understand that some nervousness is actually good. Once you gain a little confidence, the same adrenalin that causes anxiety can energize
you with enthusiasm--an essential element of almost any successful interview.
2. Visualize success. See yourself feeling comfortable and confident
during your play. Imagine everyone congratulating you and praising
your performance afterward. The more positive pictures you send to your subconscious mind, the more relaxed your conscious mind will feel when you're doing it for real.
3. Avoid thinking about bad speaking experiences in the past. The more you remember those negative images, the more likely they are to repeat themselves.
4. Remember some important basics. Arrive early, and avoid cold drinks,
especially ice water, just before you speak.
5. Comfort yourself in the knowledge that even veteran speakers get stage fright...
6. and last but not least......PRACTICE!!! practice in front of your mirror tonight and you'll feel better about it all ..
good luck!! have fun!! you'll be greattt!!!
