Another way to overcome your public speaking fear, is by controlling your nerve. When we are nervous we tend to talk fast, talking fast during a speech, interferes with your breathing pattern which is not good. If you talk too fast, you will break less and feeling short of breath, which will make you panic and more susceptible to fear. You have to control your nerves and practice slowing down when you speak. By doing this, you will be more calm and relaxed to complete your presentation successfully. Learn to convert your nervous energy into positive energy. Being nervous is a form of adrenaline, which you can use in a positive way to help give an impassionate presentation. When you let go your stress & anxiety and relax, it eases your body and make you less tensed. Also, staying organized will help keep anxiety in check. When you organize all of your thoughts and materials, it helps you to be become more relaxed and calm, which will greatly reduce your speaking anxiety because you can better focus on the one thing at hand, which is giving a great public speech.

Practice, practice, practice.

I used to hate doing presentations to work customers / companies. But once you have done quite a few you realise that the other people in the room are, well, people. If you make a small mistake - forgetting to pause, speaking too quickly, etc - it doesn't matter.

Let you passion shine through, your knowledge guide you, and practice so you are more confident.
