Fear of public speaking is one of the most common fears/phobias, or whatever you want to call it. I find that a little bit of stress is alright, since it helps you take the situation seriously. Too much, however, will of course turn you into a nervous wreck- which is clearly how you feel right now.
The best way to overcome stress and nervousness, is to be as prepared as possible. Try to read the text out to yourself, or even in front of a mirror. If it helps, try to read in front of a friend or your parents. Repeat yourself a few times, until you feel totally comfortable and confident that you already know the material enough to read in front of the class.
Before you read the material in front of your class, you might want to breathe in a few times and remind yourself that you have done what you could to prepare. Also, remember that people are not going to think anything, or say anything negative to you afterwards. Most of the class is just there to listen, and seriously, are not going to make fun of you or bite your head off, so you can relax. Also, remember that of course, people will be looking at you, simply because you are speaking. It always seems like people are staring at you, but just remind yourself that the class is simply there to watch your presentation, and nothing more. Just do the assignment, and try not to focus on being nervous. If you prepare in advance, you should feel a lot better. [ ciao77's advice column | Ask ciao77 A Question ]
