How can I manage to speak in class with everyone listening to what I say?

By getting out of your head. Notice the environment, look at your schoolmates although that might be frightening but only at first, engage in the task. Don't get caught up in your thoughts, don't overthink.

Concentrate on a spot in the room whether it be a friend or a wall, be well rehearsed and steady your breathing, be engaging use hand motions, smile, no matter how nervous you are, it is important to present the illusion of confidence. When you make the audience feel comfortable, you'll be more at ease.

try to imagine that your class is in their underwear :) (or something equally funny) Good luck! :)

Never be disconcerted or ashamed of who you are, and what you stand for. Worst case scenario; they might brand you.. and they'll label you. Because society loves to pass judgment on those who are proud to be a direct representation of what they stand for; those who are proud of what they stand for. But never be disconcerted or ashamed of who you are, and what ideals you represent and stand for. Be proud of it. That's the mentality you need to have in order to develop your individuality and personality in this world. Forget what everyone thinks of what you have to say, and focus solely on what YOU think of what you have to say.

As someone who also has trouble participating in class (though I'm not currently in school), I empathize with the difficulty of speaking up in public. I wish I could tell you that I've conquered this fear, but I do still feel anxiety when speaking in a classroom setting. However, perhaps some of these suggestions may be helpful: You could try writing notes before speaking so that you don't have to worry as much about blanking while speaking. You could also try to be really mindful of what you want to say and think about how you want to communicate that to the class instead of focusing on the anxiety. I know that is far easier said than done, though. If the anxiety is really bad, it might be helpful to speak to a psychiatrist about medication, if that's something that you are open to. Best of luck!

I often shake a lot and tremble whenever I speak in front of a class, knowing the fact that everyone's is listening. However, I overcame (moreover convinced myself) this problem by understanding myself that what I'll say and try to express it best for the class. Although I do prepare myself this much, I still tremble and shake, but the mindset of trying to be more successful in public speaking is stronger. Another thing is to think positively; the happier you are, the better you can communicate. Good luck.

A lot of successful speakers have stage fright but they conquer that fear. Under a spotlight, if you tremble because of the crowd watching, breathe in deep. Keep in mind that you are there for a reason and you will do great. Overthinking will not do you any good as it will lead to mental blocks. Focus on what you have to say and think about the people who could connect to what you say.

Make sure you are doing the work and understanding the content. Take small steps to talk in class. Start with raising your hand and answer one or two word answers tha you know are correct, and as you get more confident you’ll be able to say longer answers and ask questions of your own

Vocalization, posture and body language are very important when delivering a speech; if you seem shy, speak quietly and stutter, people might get bored and stop paying attention. I know it can sound hard to accomplish - I myself am someone who occasionally struggles with stage fright - but trust me when I say that talking with confidence and enthusiasm can catch your audience's attention

Good question, personally love public speaking, I’m an active member of my theatre department and an avid performer. But despite that, I do get nervous, and I deal with it by reminding myself that nobody in class likes public speaking either and are often just as nervous as I am. Ways I soothe my anxiety while speaking is holding something like a paper or pen in my hands to keep myself from fidgeting or shaking. Life goes on past public speaking in class, and although it is nerve wracking- after you finish you will feel relieved that it’s over. Take deep breaths, I promise you’ll be fine.
