Sometimes it is difficult to speak in front of a group of people. I encourage you to breathe, smile, and speak slowly. Look for people in the audience smiling back at you or nodding in encouragement. That will help you keep going.

It is not uncommon to be nervous when talking in front of a big group of people. Some people just have different levels of confidence. Two ways you could go about it, you coukd be very brave and overcome your by standing up there and doing it the best you could. Or you could talk to your teacher and explain the situation and see how he/she could help you. This could also be a sign of social anxiety so maybe research that :) have a good day!

Sounds like you are having some anxiety. This is a normal emotion. There plenty of other people who have a fear of standing up and talking in front of a class.

When you're at the front of your class, you feel like all eyes are on you. Like everybody is judging you, watching for any mistake, waiting for the slightest mistake to dive in like a vulture. However, they're really not. Most of them could not care less. It's in your head. They can tell you're nervous, and most are sympathetic; almost everybody hates presenting to a classroom.

It takes guts to talk in front of a big audience while all the attention is concentrated on you. Some people can do it easily since they possess confidence in doing so. The reason why you are not able to talk in front of your class may be lack of confidence, social anxiety, lack of socializing skills, or any traumatic event that placed this fear inside you. You don't have to worry about it much since you can try and gain confidence by facing the problem. Slowly and steadily, you cannot jump on the problem at once. Baby steps matter. Keep up. I wish you luck. Love. xX

Sometimes our minds create irrational fears inside of us that obstruct us from doing things we wish to. We get anxious and start worrying about everything that can go wrong, if the probability of that is low. The best way to get over it? Prepare yourself for the worst as well as the best. If things go well then good enough but even if they don't, tell yourself that you'll deal with them later.

This would be a sign of social anxiety, you may be nervous about the people in front of you or embarrassing yourself. It normal to deal nervous however if it becomes regular you may want to speak to someone about it

I think it’s a fear of embarrassment and want to succeed. It’s completely natural. Sometimes we want to say something and share our thoughts but we care too much about the opinuons of others

Talking to a large crowd is not easy for a lot people, it's normal. But take also into consideration that there could be a possibility that you may have social anxiety. But, without proper assessment, it would be really hard to tell whether you really do have this or you're just a shy or reserved kind of person.

I am really really shy when it comes to public speaking. I have a monologue to do this Wednesday. I am really afraid. I do not know what to do. I mean i memorized it and Know the thing by heart. I do not know what could go wrong. But, I do know one Little secret. When you having trouble like me, just pick a spot on the wall above you audience eyes. Focus on that part of the wall. Now no one will trow you off. You seem like it is crucial and important. Now you are focused. Take a deep breath. And just get the thing over with. Do not say it fast, say it slow so people think Oh he or she is calm and knows what they are doing. Then say Thank you at the end. I will hope you take this advice. I will to on my scene this Wednesday. I hope you have good luck. Goodbye. :)
