Well, I have a few tips for speaking in public. If you are anything like me, you will need these tips. People say to imagine others in underwear but if anything I'm imaging my self in underwear.
Tip 1. Practice so you know it from head to toe. Once you're prepared, go through the speech, essay, paragraph etc . Then read it again. Then again. And then once more.
Tip 2. One of the most important ones RELAX and BREATH! To be honest we are our worst critics during a presentation.
Tip 3. Slow reading is always perfection. Pace yourself! I know for a fact when some people are nervous they start to read fast, and no one can understand them, or they stutter the words.
Tip 4. Look confident, even if you know your the most unconfident person in the room . Making your self look confident, makes people believe you know what your doing.
Tip 5. Maybe even make a joke or two, if you still happen to be very nervous.
Tip 6. Last but not least, BE YOURSELF! We are human, we will all make mistakes. Practice makes perfect.
What I do for public speaking...
I usually read it over a couple of times before presenting. Then I look at the audience a couple of times, I sometimes even take breaks during it ( 3 second breaks ), I'm not perfect at presentations yet, but these tips are not meant to make you perfect there just meant to help the process.
