Answer 1

o.k first remember what you have to say and practice then when it is time to present take deep breath and remember you know the people in your class so don't worry if you mess up start all over and everything will go smoothly

Answer 2

practice....try presenting it for your family and ask them what they think you should do to improve your presentation and "performance"....good luck i hate presentations too!! =) i'm sure you'll do fine.

Answer 3

Imagine they are in their underwear, if you cant pretend, I'll let you borrow my X-ray specs :)

Im shy about presenting powerpoints, but as soon as I get up there it is SO easy! To avoid this anxiety if it doesnt go away, try to convince your teacher to let you do your presentation with a partner and choose a good friend. It makes the project and the presentation a lot less difficult.

If they refuse, then discuss your anxiety with your teacher,

It might not seem like it but they're are only there, and being payed just to help you.

Answer 4

think verryone else is just as nervous as you wetherr they show it or not

proctice it alot so you are comfortable doing it

plus why be nervous im sure your gonna kick *** and take names good luck girlfriend

Answer 5

you should ask to go first so you can get it over with and not have to worry about it. that way if you make a fool of yourself then people will probably forget about it by the end of all the presentations. works for me everytime.

Answer 6

Just practice, pracitce, practice and if you can almost memorize it then maybe you won't mess up

Answer 7

Practice. Like all things that are uncomfortable the more familiar they get the easier they are. First practice it alone; Then in front of a friendly audience, even the family pet can make a good start. It will feel dumb but thats OK.

Start small and work your way up. You will do great.

Answer 8

2-3 minutes... i had to do a 7 minute in high school. just give eye contact and put emphasis into some parts of your speech.

Answer 9

Yeah i feel the same as you (:

Well i tell myself to just think about other things, like something happy and calm or just really think hard into the presentation and not worry about messing up and all that.

First you need to practice.

Start by doing it to 1 friend or so.

The more confident you feel the less nervous you feel.

Just don't sweat, and you'll live through it!

Answer 10

you really need to just think.. whats the worst thing that can happen? maybe you mess up , but no ones gonna laugh. everyone else is just as scared theyre glad theyre not up there. They understand. Just try to pretend your alone . concentrate ure focus on a poster or something instead of them,
