Marvin the Martian asked:


I’ve tried it before but everytime I start I become nervous and my heart beats like wild.

Are there any techniques to stop this occurence?

Mrs. DiCaprio asked:


The worst of all is my heart beats so loud I can’t even hear myself speaking over it and my voice starts quivering and I have to keep pushing myself to talk, but I cant. Pleaseeeee help! what can I do calm down? I only have to speak for about 5-10 mins infront of about 150-200 people. Don’t say picture everyone naked, cuz no that doesn’t work. I need to just stay calm and speak as I would normally! anyyy help?

I need something to help me work through this. I have my heart set on an ivy league school and this will hold me back.

Alex87 asked:


Whenever I have to speak in front of a crowd, I always get extremely nervous. My face gets beat red, I start sweating, my heart beats really fast, and I can barely talk because its almost like I am out of breath. No matter how well prepared I am, this always happens. I probably would not even mind public speaking if these physical things did not happen to me. Any suggestions on how to overcome this? Does this happen to anyone else?
