I'm sure this is a common issue here. What have you do to overcome it? What has helped you?
I took drama in high school for 6 years. In college, I had countless remarks from professors about the incredible quality of my presentations.
This is despite the fact that whenever I have to go in front of people, I'm so nervous that I want to vomit and I won't eat anything all day. I go first just so I can get it over with.
Since I'm terrified of fucking up, I rehearse everything I'm going to say over and over in my head. I make sure that it rolls off the tongue nicely and ESPECIALLY that I know what I'm talking about. If I don't know what I'm talking about, I don't talk.
So I guess:
1. Rehearse
2. Rehearse
3. Rehearse

I meant in school in general. I swear I'm not retarded.

In your head, jerk your dick off a bit about how you got all those fags to pay attention to you.
Don't be afraid. Feed off it.

Be prepared. You will improve with experience. When rehearsing, speak it out loudly, just as you would do it. Doing it all in your head is shit advice. When you do it as real as possible you remember things like breathing and how much force you have to put on your vocal cords.
