Presentation problem

[Zoleee]

Hi!

I have always been very nervous before exams, before presentations...

But it's really hard, because when I have to talk before a lot of people even my voice shakes and really hard to talk or do anything.

I have to do a presentation in two weeks. We had to do some in college, but never by myself.

Any suggestions?

Two weeks, a bit late for a real fix. Long term try joining something like toastmasters. Face the fear and get used to it, for many it goes away.

Not all of course, perhaps it will help to know you are not alone:

Short term make sure you have things down pat. Some people are fine if they can just get going. Actually I think almost everyone has at least a hint of that, e.g. it gets a little easier if you get going. So make sure you can do the first minute of so in your sleep.
