speeches
I have a major problem with giving speeches in front of the class. This week I am the only one left to do my speech, but I don't thick I can. I start to shake, and I can't talk right. I've tried looking over people's heads but it doesnt work. What can I do to get rid of this fear?

If you know what you're talking about, you should have no problem at all. I shake too, but my voice doesn't. Its all in how you convince yourself to go about it. Dont read too fast, calm your nerves. This is like, what, five minutes of your life? Tell yourself that they've all done it too, and it'll be over soon. Smile, and try to make it interesting by using a colorful tone. Look around the class as you talk, at your classmates, and try not to laugh. See the reason you're nervous is because they're all looking at you, well why not see it this way: They're looking at me, so while I have their attention and a grade to ace, I will make the best of my time to try to achieve the task at hand and do a good job by being informative.
It gives off a sense of responsibility. Good luck!

Practice doing it infront of a few friends! and see how it goes. Just make sure you speak clearly and if your really scared take a deep breath and just go for it. Because your thinking that you just want to get it over with and once your talking it gets easyer.

I use to have this problem, and still do to some extent. I found the more speeches I gave the better my nerves became. But you have to start somewhere.
To best prepare yourself, get well aquainted with your speech. Practice saying it out loud dozens of times. I always got paricually nervous when I got lost in what I was saying, and stumbled over words. But if you know your speech well and are prepared, you should overcome this.
And instead of looking over peoples heads, look them in the eyes. It actually helps.
And next time sign up to give your speech first, then you don't have your nevers building up waiting to give yours.

Many people have trouble giving speeches. Try breathing deeply before your speech, and focus on what you are about to do. Make sure you don't have to go to the bathroom, you're not starving/thirsty..etc. All of these things can distract you while you are making your speech. Also, it's always good to carry note cards. Practice in front of your family, friends, or even by yourself in your room. Before your speech, don't tell yourself "oh i cant do this", etc. Have confidence, and give yourself optimistic thoughts to fiddle with. As for shaking, carry a chain or small squishy ball in your pocket, or really anything you can fiddle with. When you think youre about to shake, put your hand in your pocket and play with whatever is in there. If none of these techniques help you, have your mom or dad talk to your teacher. Many teachers will understand when a student has problems making speeches, and will make exceptions for you. I hope I helped!! <3
