Can someone give me tips about public speaking?

public speaking
Shelly B asked:


I have a solo presentation next week for my Advanced General Psychology class, which needs to be at least an hour long. I will be presenting with a Powerpoint presentation, so I will have some guidance. I have a problem with giving any kind of presentations/speeches in front of people, which is not uncommon, I know. I tend to absolutely panic while up there though. I constantly feel as if I’m going to pass out due to fast heartbeats and shallow breathing. Does anyone have any tips to help me overcome this horrible thing?
