How do I become better at public speaking, confidence and become more charismatic?
>tfw had to introduce myself to 360+ people as why I should represent them
>tfw only one other person voted for me
feels bad man, I have to cope with these people for the next half of the year too. It's statistically unsound that only one person would - I must be that bad. I need help, serious advice.

If you're just talking about public speaking, then practice is the most important thing. The first step to giving a good speech is to memorize it so well you don't even have to think about what to say next. This allows you to focus more on your delivery than the content. Try looking at other people who give great speeches. Analyze the techniques they use and ask yourself why their speeches are better than yours. Film yourself giving your speech and watch it. It's easy to critique it if you're in the audience's shoes.

Oh yeah, I forgot, you'll want to practice speaking under pressure as well. The only way you can really practice this is if you give your speech in front of some of your friends or family or maybe a camera if you can't find anyone.

Thank-you, I'm quite clear on delivery (I have been complimented several times, even though I have a lot of improvement). However, when I'm anxious all this clarity flies out the damn window and I'm grasping for things to say - let alone, the way it's delivered. I suck at presenting things that aren't academic (emotions, personal stuff, working as a group, inspirational or motivational things). I am very confident when I am talking facts, figures, statistics with a prepared speech.

I worked as a watier for a while, introducing myself to thousands ds of strangers, it helped a lot. It didn't ake me better at forming relationships though, just talking to people in general.

I've been thinking of instances when I could practice this sort of thing - at the bus stop, in lectures, library, etc..
