How could I overcome my stage fright?
It's almost 10 years, and I still can't get over it, I fear speaking in front of more than 3 people.and I'll go to America the next year for further study (I'm asian), I was told it was impolite not to stare at other people's eyes when you speak to Americans...BUT I NEVER look into other people's eyes!!. ..if we're in dark room, that's alright.besides, I know it won't be good for my prospect if I'm not good at communication..what should I do?
Answer:
I would say practise and put yourself in front of small groups of people often enough to get your confidence up. If you have good experiences presenting, you'll feel more comfortable. And the shakes are a problem I have too, despite the lack of any conscious stage fright for me. I've had a lot of good presentations, but the adrenaline from being in front of people can make my hands shake, even if I know I'll do well. Keep working at it, though. And stare at people's foreheads if necessary before you get used to looking in their eyes. Less pressure, but it still makes them think you're looking at them.
[ractice, practice, practice... do it infront of people or the mirror
don't worry. im 11 and my school has oral speeches and i get so nervouse when i get up in front of my classmates (even thought there is only 13 kids in my class). To get over it I look at a blank spot and in a while i make eye contact, it kinda works.
Look at the walls in front of you, then you wouldn't feel so embarrased. Funny, I live in America, and I was told you should look into peoples eye's when you are speaking to them. :P
Imagine everone in there undies it did help me.
