Public Speaking

Just remember that within 30 seconds after you are done, no one cares anymore.

Its the same as you watching anyone else speak. Do you really care? Not really. They can fumble, bumble, etc, but as long as they don't face plant on the stage no one is going to really talk about it days or even minutes later. You might say "that guy seems nervous." Big deal...most people can relate. Public speaking is the #1 fear, even over the fear of death itself.

Just be confident that you are doing this already. Breathe. Come up with a decent ice breaker to draw some laughs and break your tension. Be well rehearsed otherwise. If you know exactly what you are going to say, and have practiced it, there is far less room for failure other than your own ego getting in the way.

When you talk it should be coming out so slow that you worry that you sound retarded.

Most people talk too quick.

When I do public speaking I do a lot of pregnant pauses to make eye contact with the audience.

are you actually competent in what you are going to be speaking about? if so, just do a few practice runs beforehand, then go freestyle it. dont use a script. have a general idea of what you are going to say.. beginning, middle, end.. make eye contact with people, and talk to them. public speaking is easy (unless you dont know what the fuck youre talking about)
