How do I get over my fear of public speaking?

public speaking
- asked:


I have to give a 10-minute presentation tomorrow, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it for a week. Whenever I go up in front of a large group of people, I get shy instantly and my voice is barely audible. It’s also really hard for me to keep eye contact.

Practicing my speech works temporarily…until I actually face my audience, with everyone’s eyes staring back at me. And imagining everyone in their underwear does NOT work for me. Any tips on how I could present my speech effortlessly?
