Six Ways to Control Your Stage Fright

Man, You are freaking totally right

Happy that you consider my advice on target and helpful. My best to you in your progress as a speaker.

I have a presentation at school tomorrow. I'm so nervous

Music is much different than a speech. Most people listen the tune and do not pay attention to the hands.

ty so much i am a singer just starting out again Im in a talent show that last 10 weeks but i suffer with stage fright ty so much for the tips i know i am going to better next week

when i have to hold my paper in my hands you can see it shaking really badly and people smirk at me and that leads to me just wanting to die, and audiences aren't always friendly

That's when i listen to someone present a paper i always resect it even if you get nervous. I usually try to cheer people up if they freeze and really want to listen.

Much of the educated audience are usually on the lookout for every little mistake you make.

Sorry to say, but some audiences are indeed just waiting to put down the speaker at every minor mistake with laughter. That's my own experience, and also what I've observed at fellow students' presentations at university. Personally I would rather have an unresponsive attitude from my listeners. It would make the mandatory presentations so much less painful to get out of the way.

Thats Mr Hampton this was helpfull. Solid!
