Presentation Grip
How do I overcome stage freight when addressing people?
I have this problem every time I make a presentation before a large crowd. I get so panic stricken to the extend that I forget everything I was prepared to talk about and ultimately look like I am stupid. I can hear fear gripping me and taking control of my reasoning. The whole situation is affecting me now that my colegues think i am not a good performer
I know and understand your fear. I’ve gotten myself into a few situations where I had to speak in front of a crowd.
When you get up there stop and take a half a moment. In that moment stop, breath, take a look around the crowd and give them a chance to focus on you. Collect your thoughts on the subject.
Speak clear and speak loud enough that every one can hear you. If you are speaking into a mic. hold it at chest level and point it at your chin. Do not block your face.
Remain calm. Treat the crowd as though they are your guests and you are happy to have them. You are not giving the speech of your life you are simply talking to an extended group.
Some body has to get up in front of the group. It may as well be you. You will do fine.
I have dealt with a few musicians. One of the band directors i dealt with said he would have his students stand on a box in their front yard and practice to the passing traffic. It would help them to get over their stage fright simply through experience.
My 1st big group was at my wedding. An announcement needed to be made just before we began and so I stepped up and took charge. After all they came to see me and my other half, who better than me to make the announcement.
My 2nd time and my biggest crowd was at the Louisiana Operation America Rising rally. I got to MC the event because I was the person who organized and coordinated it.
I don’t quite see this as a military question except in the area of leadership. I hope that I was still helpful.
