In about a week I have this huge presintation i have to do in music class. IT has to be 10 minutes long, including an oral presintation and a song to go along with it. The teacher puts so much pressure on you because she is really strict. I don't know what to do, I am so afraid of stage fright I can't even deal with it. Please help me, if you think of anything I can do to get over this, including pills or sumthin....but not like serious drugs! Please don't say you have to take deep breaths and imagin no one is there, because it doesn't work and you kno it too! please help me..
luv..

Berri answered Sunday March 13 2005, 4:18 pm: Hey. Well, does the whole class have to do a presenatation? If so, you could think of it this way: You ALL have to get up there and make a fool of yourselves. No one is going to be judging you that harshly because they know that they have to get up there in front of the class and do something too. You might as well just make the best of it. Have you ever watched a really really nervous person performing or speaking in front of a big group of people. They looked horrible, right? So, the more you let them see you sweat, the worse you look. The best thing to do is just PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, and know EXACTLY what you have to do. Know all your lines, and all that stuff. The more confident you are with what you're doing, the better it'll be. And remember, you never look as bad as you feel. And you don't have to turn to pills for something like this. You don't need it. You can do it! Good luck! Just know your stuff! [ Berri's advice column | Ask Berri A Question ]
