how to speak confidently in group or on stage.

A fear of making speeches is not unusual, even many people who do it professionally have stage fright. Have well-prepared notes, even going so far as to write word-by-word the ideas you want to present. Look above their heads instead of making eye contact, sometimes that helps. If you are afraid to speak in front of your friends because of the comments they might make, then maybe you are with the wrong group of friends!

Being confident is not all about thinking about what other people might say to you. You need to be sure of yourself and have high regards to yourself. Don't belittle yourself by expecting negative coments of other people. Believe in yourself and what you have to say. It is what you think.It also pays to listen to or talk with other people who are confident in the way they talk. It can rub on you. I also psyche myself in the morning---positive things I want to be, like I am strong, I am confident, am a leader, I am spontaneous, etc.... With regards to public speaking. It really needs practice and getting use to. You need to expertly know what you are going to say. Practice very hard beforehand. Practice aloud as if you're already there. Before facing the audience, take a deep breath around 5 times to relax your nerve. The first few minutes really is nerve racking. During the speech, don't look at the audience, their facial expressions might put you off. Look at the back of the stage. This has an effect that you are looking at the audience, when in fact you are not. Or you can visualize talking to someone you are comfortable with. Hope this help.

You Just follow some of these: - Do a play activity always infront of groups ands stage. - think yourself that everybody in front of you are little bit less informative. - think yourself as a good informative person. - Participate all healthy arguments in your daily life ground. - train yourself to face all oppositions around you. - Read more to tell and learn more to crisp all. - Finally think "'this is the trial only'" like every time. BEST OF LUCK.

You have to realize that you are your worst critic. If you have confidence in what you are saying people will have confidence in what you are saying. If you are uncomfortable when you speak, people sense that and in turn it makes them uncomfortable too.

The more you do it the easier it gets. Also you might try meditation to help calm your mind. I have always had a fear of public speaking. When I was in high school I had a teacher that made me do it on a regular basis and I got to the point I didn't mind at all.

its because you dont know about your strenth if you have lot of confidence in your mind you dont bother about friends and other comments they will comments for quite 2 days and then they will slowly stop their comments so be cool and develop your strength.

If you are going to speak in public on stage, then you must practice your script, so that you are comfortable with the words. You may need to feel a little more confident. Look in the mirror, and say,"Hey, I can do it, I'm as good as anyone else." Good luck.

practice makes perfect.

it depends on who im around. im usually at least slightly nervous, but the situation is much better when im around friends or people i know. im not so nervous to speak out in class because i know everyone in my class. however, im extremely nervous when it comes to speaking in front of a group of strangers. my voice always trembles and my hands shake and sometimes my knees feel like jello. once i even thought i was gonna pass out. but after a while, you get used to it. if you know what you're talking about, its not that bad...but if you're BSing something or you're doing improv, then it's a lot more difficult cause you're worried about saying something stupid. i did a lot of model united nations and was exec of many clubs in college, so i have a lot of experience with speaking in front of a group of people, so i think that's helped me a bit, but im always still a bit nervous.

if a person want to diliver any speech or if he or she is doing any discution then do not nervous always in happymood and give eyecontact

I have experienced that also becoz i was applying for work as a call center agent, during the interview u need to speak infront of a group of people. I think just have confidence and believe in your self. If others can do it why not we?

this is a common problem for most of the population (including myself ofcourse). practice makes perfect. be brave, prepare psychologically yourself, you can improve.

I think, the best thing to do if you are to give a presentation is to rehearse. That will help to lessen your nervousness.

well i also get confuse while speaking in front of all..

I think you need to learn love yourself a lot. because that's exactly what i did when i was in your situation. One has to to love himself, give yourself due importance, i am not telling you to be arrogant, egoistic but you should have self importance. Then you are the best judge of what is right or wrong with you. Have friends that respect you and care as friends as they do for others and themselves. Then try to have postive thoughts, postive thinking, develop positve attiude by reading good books, listening to good music, doing yoga and meditation. it will help calm you down and you won't tremble as much. Besides be4 yourself and do the task without thinking about results and you will find the problem is not as big as we thought it to be. try these suggestions and let me know if it helped.

i have suggestion for you.if you want to speak in the audience, you should thinking that you can do it, take a long breath,dont think anything about your audience.and you will have feel better

practise well in front of a mirror.talk in front of your friends.believe in yourself.be confident

well the best thing is to think that u have no idea who these guys are in the spectators & u are never gonna meet em & this doesnt matter to u & all the ppl are fools except u

Its not just about being confident.I too had a similar problem.The key is in my view is practice.When u are giving presentation on the stage i would suggest you that u practice a lot with ur speech and presentation.Learn it by heart and when u forget some words try not to panic but instead replace it with some word of your own having similar meaning.Also,three or four days prior to the presentation,try saying your speech standing in front of the mirror and looking into it.this will help you from loosing your concentration also it will guide u as to what to improve. As for your friends they are there to pull your legs donot take them seriously.Instead make fun of yourself by saying I am not good at that topic.Also when possible try to correct them when they something wrong in this way they will slowly and steadyly begin to give u respect and u wont feel awkward in their presence
