i'm just tired of my voice trembling and my body shaking when i give presentations. how can i be more warm and confident in front of my peers? i'm tired of being nervous every time i speak in front of others :(

Answer:

A lot of people have this problem myself included. Basically its all about doing it often enough that you dont really care that people are in front of you. Have you taken a speech class? I would say that almost everyone is terrified of getting up and speaking always keep that in mind. Being really prepared before speaking is also a good thing. Yea as I sit here and think of other ways all i can think of is you have to put yourself before the firing squad enough times. good luck

By doing it more. Eventually it'll become second nature to you.

Sometimes I have those days when I do nothing but stutter when I talk. practice in front of the mirror. chat to your image, praise its outfit, whatever. If you're talking about actual speeches or presentations, plan out a nice, systematic speech, write out neat and organized note cards if required, and practice in front of that faithful mirror!

I totally understand. I used to be extremely nervous speaking in frontof crowds. Not only was I nervous about messing up, but then I'd get nervous about becoming so nervous.

I think a couple things helped me. One was shear practice. The more I forced myself up there, the less worried I was each time.
