cuz then you'd be more afraid of them finding out that u peed ur pants than u screwing up your speech...and as long as the podium covers you up, no ones the wiser
unless you dont have a podium, in which case u can ur pants and always face the audience

Dude, I totally feel your pain. I am the same way. Going through college however, there was no way out of many of these types of situations. Here is what I would do over the years that helped me:
1)If you wear contacts or glasses, take them out (or off) just before you have to go in front of the people. Without my contacts, I can't see anything so looking into the crowd was just a big blur and I couldn't see anyone's faces.
2)Drink some vodka, a few shots, just before you enter the class where your presentation is due. It takes the edge off. I did this on several occasions, and to be honest, got the best grades on presentation than any sober time.
3)This is the best method, hands down but you will need to know somebody or have access to med scripts. Propranolol Take one of these 30 minutes before you have to give your speech, and you will go up there like Superman or a president or some such . It is a beta blocker and clams you down and also slows your heart rate. You are fearless. I could give a speech to the world on one of these and not even bat an eye.
Good luck!! |

The best way to be comfortable is to know what the youre talking about. Research related topics and just go up there. Being well educated and able to talk about many things related to the subject is the best. Dress well, dont have jingly on you.
Look people in the eye. Youre the one telling THEM about stuff. |

| Smoke a fatty or have a couple shots before, it will take the edge off. |
