READ & LISTEN

Read:

How do you feel when you speak in public?  It is normal to feel nervous.  Did you know that even English speakers fear public speaking?  Try to remember that all the fear and anxiety usually happen a few minutes before you begin speaking.  When you stand up in front of the audience and start talking, everything goes back to normal.  During your presentation, your fear of speaking decreases, so you don't feel nervous or scared anymore.  You begin to focus more on your presentation, your visual aids, and your audience.  The best news is that the audience is watching your presentation more than watching you!
