Hello! I will be very grateful to you moderators for publishing my story! In a month I will have an oral exam, I have to present a project to a jury of 4, to appear before them and to speak. Three are teachers from the school where I study, and the fourth is a company manager. I have done my project, but I am anxious and shy by nature and I am afraid that when I go out in front I will get hot, my voice will start to tremble and I will do nothing. I also have a problem with redness - I get up like a tomato and stare ugly, my hands are shaking and sweating and that's exactly what I can't hide. I thought about sedatives, but I'm very afraid of getting used to them, I've never drank before, because I didn't have such a reason to use psychotropic drugs ... I even thought about drinking a little alcohol, but I think that this will completely cloud my consciousness and I will do nothing, get drunk and it can have the same effect. I don't drink or smoke in general, I play sports regularly, but I'm really worried about this exam ... I constantly think that I will expose myself and the redness worries me the most, I just can't control it, but do I feel that I I blush, my voice starts to tremble, my hands sweat and I think "Here I am, I exposed myself" ... Please, if anyone has any idea how I can overcome my anxiety, I will be infinitely grateful to him!

There are generally homeopathic remedies for stage fever. They are prescribed by a homeopath. Otherwise, the actors use different breathing techniques for relaxation. There is a lot written in English. Check breathing exercises, relaxation, public speaking. Good luck!!!
I am exactly the same. Don't worry about the teachers, they are there to see what you have done. Drink the sedative before you go there, and when you enter imagine that there is no one as if you were alone with 4 walls. It helps me. P. P I hope I helped you. You will not become addicted to sedatives. :)
Drinking, smoking - forget There is nothing to be afraid of, but be sure to go to a psychologist to solve the problem before approaching the competition (I do not remember what it was). Otherwise: * Stop thinking about what you are going to say before an event happens * Concentrate on the positive things you have done * Tell yourself what you think - pull out shyness. Good luck
Hi, Stage Fever happens to anyone, even experienced speakers with decades of experience. Anxiety decreases with practice. My advice to you is to practice in front of friends at least a few times, and why not in front of teachers if they agree. He even asked someone to take a picture of you and then see if there was a need for corrections. I don't know how long your presentation will be, but prepare a written summary to follow if you forget where you are. Take your time, speak slowly, pause to think about what to say. Drink water. It also helps to think not about what you look like, but about the message you want to convey to these people. Watch in youtube ted talks for example, first to see that even the super good presenters are also worried and second to see good examples. Good luck :)
Several times I have had to speak in front of an audience and every time the panic is huge, so I apply the following technique, choose a person and imagine that I speak only to him! And without that the polite form is yours, so it is impossible to understand whether you are talking to 20 people or 1. So you do the same, come in, choose the nicest of the 4 and try to imagine, that you only speak to him! Besides, the better prepared you are, the better! You need to know things almost by heart so that you don't get stuck at some point and get confused. Therefore, ask a few friends or relatives to play the role of the jury and practice speaking to them. You will do it! Success!
Thanks for the advice !
So am I, and I'm a 2nd year student at university! The following helps me: I just stay at home and rehearse it many times with confidence and imagine how I speak in front of people, and then when I go out in front of them it is easier for me :)
