Dear Blue,
With finals coming up, a lot of my presentations are due. Most of my presentations I need to stand in front of my classmates which I am nervous about because I have stage fright. Do you have any advice on how to get over my fear?
Fear of the Stage
Dear Fear of the Stage,
First off, breathe; it isn’t as scary as you think. Here are some tips to help. Make sure you practice, more than once. When you practice, you know your information inside and out, so when presenting it comes natural because you know what you are talking about. Do not read from your notes! Look up and make eye contact with a certain few. If you feel yourself beginning to rush, take a deep breath. Also, just be you. When you are in front of people, they want you to be you. When you feel comfortable, they will feel comfortable and relate better. I hope these tips help and I’m sure you will do fantastic!
Sincerely,
Blue
