Scared to give a presentation?

Question

I am scared of giving oral presentations because I have this condition called stammering. The condition is mild. A lot of people don't know that I stammer. I only stammer when I talk for too long or when I am angry or nervous. Mind you, I can even stammer when I am talking to my parents or closest of friends (and I am not nervous at that time).

I have practiced and practiced, and I must have given around 20 presentations in my life but I choked every time. I have another presentation in 2 days I am really worried about it.

How can overcome my demons?

Answer 1

Try going to a speech therapist. They will assess you and help you out with your stammering. Also, before you give presentations, try some relaxation techniques. Take a deep breath, sing your favorite song, etc.
