The second I start hearing my own shaky voice and realize that everyone is staring at me and listening to my shaky voice...my voice gets shakier and I start speaking faster. The worst is when my voice is so shaky that I turn a 5 min presentation into a 2 min presentation and everything coming out of my mouth becomes indecipherable.
my voice never gets shaky during a presentation but I say "umm" A LOT AND IT GETS PRETTY ANNOYING! and when I make eye contact with my classmates then that's the part where I get really nervous xP so idgaf if I don't get any points for that XD I have a final project for science that I have to present on wednesday-.- but screw it! idc what I get for that because presentations are really hard for me its like a phobia even
Tiffany .G What I realized (might be common sense to you) is that the more you practise your speech, the better and less nervous you'll be. I had a 20 min presentation where I had to stand in front of the class and essentially train the class on a subject I chose. The 3 days leading to the presentation day, I rehearsed my speech for maybe 2 hours a day everyday. It came to a point where I didnt even need to look at the slides anymore since I practically memorized the entire thing. Turns out, the presentation was extremely fluent and I had practically ZERO nervousness. Trust me when I say, REHEARSE your material.
That's exactly how I get, super shaky and sometimes so bad that I just can't talk anymore, so I just stand there in awkward silence, probably with my face red as hell, but fuck it, it happens.
me too. The funny thing is I am a super confident person. I was a little bit of a shy child but overcame that. Eventually super confident with the opposite sex using the technique you mentioned of mentally thinking I am super confident and eventually conbeying that confidence. I was captain of my football team, I was a supervisor at work dealing with 30+ people and giving motivational speeches. I give demonstrations and cooking advice to groups of people but when I get put in a boardroom or classroom environment I seize up. Fucking weird. but great advice. The technique of mentally thinking you are super confident gives you an air of being a confident person.
I've never really tried ever since I stopped going to school I stopped talking to people so I haven't talked to anyone that I don't know for 5 years so I don't know how to even carry conversations
It’s not that I get nervous but just I hate it when the kids in my class are staring at me in total silence and I’m just thinking the whole time “they’re judging me, they’re judging me.”
BlacKit2000 I have a talent show coming up. People will be RECORDING I can't afford to mess up, my school takes it seriously, and it's like I'm representing the school.
the only thing that happens to me is that 1. I get instantly red 2. My heart beats faster 3. My hands shake crazy 4. And I tend to control my stuttering but yea mostly it I just need help with controlling my hands
Sometimes I choke when I'm speaking because I have to swallow, and I don't even want to imagine what that looks like in the audiences point of view. :(
it's ok guys you just have to do it and u will be ok i use to choke aswell because i forgot to breath lol but now I'm good if u have any questions about how to get through it hit me because I'm really confident now (i kniw how u feel)
When I present, or even raise my hand to speak. I get really nervous, my eyes get REALLY blurry, I can't see anything and I can't tell if im still looking at the teacher. And then I stutter a lot, and get off track, so people laugh at me. I hate raising my hand and presenting, I especially have those teachers that don't have "Popsicles" or "cards" they just call on anyone and its scary
That is scary. Just breathe. Don't worry about failing or looking dumb. Think about how can I relax while I'm doing this and if I suck how can I do better next time? The more you do it the easier it becomes because you're like oh I've done this before, I might not have done my best but I didn't die.
I recommend talking to yourself! It is the most effective way to practice not only giving speeches but to also improve your vocabulary and word placement. You can talk to yourself in front of a mirror or simply look at a bunch of objects. It sounds like something a crazy person would do but I swear upon this method.
Surprisingly went well, thanx for asking. I had the courage to put my hand up to do my presentation next and my heart was racing!! but once i did it everyone started clapping and my teacher graded me an A!!! :)
Oh no, i would of recommended you to do it. I usually skip school to avoid it but then if i have to do it again some other time i wont know how good i am, but now that iv done it i have realised its not as bad as i thought. But still... i dont blame you lol
I guess that true. But I have anxiety I hate that stuff. I skipped school on thursday and got really sick that night for some reason so I didn't go to school Friday either and now its break lol.
It always feels bad at the start. But after It you realize it went well. I normally just think that "Atleast im not gonna die" And then I dont stress too much
I felt like I was going to faint presenting by myself in front of my classmates when I reassured myself, " I need to stop being worried about what can go wrong and be focused on the positive impact I can make"
My body isn't the problem when I'm public speaking, it's my voice!! It starts to get shaky and I guess I don't breathe enough when I'm talking so I basically sound like I'm about to cry. It sucks because I can't control my voice like I can body movements ):
The reason people become nervous, I think at least, is because they are afraid of people's preconceived notions of them as well as the impression they will leave after the presentation. Once you reach a level of true self acceptance confidence will follow and the anxiety lessens. I find it's also best to get it over and done with early. Fake it till you make it people!!
sss It’s not that I get nervous but just I hate it when the kids in my class are staring at me in total silence and I’m just thinking the whole time “they’re judging me, they’re judging me.”
Just know that..... Every single other student in the class gets nervous too!!! So just calm down, relax you nerves and do your presentation like a boss!!!
i have to give a presentation tomorrow and even though it only has to be 5 minutes long, i'm super nervous. i know from myself that i start shaking a little whenever i'm talking in front of a lot of people so my voice gets kinda shaky and most of the time people don't even notice it, but i do. so i basically focus on my voice and get even more nervous! it's just really stressing me out because when i'm at the front i don't even feel that bad, but once i start talking i notice my shaky voice and get so insecure and awkward and i'm a mess .... :(
My class are going to choice a song, and then each one is supposed to stand infront of the class and i am so scared about it. What if everyone thinks my song is pathetic. ): I get so nervous.
and the worst you find a little comfort zone the fact that your firends don't listen to you, but suddenly your teacher ruin all of it....tell them to listen and pay attention...
I used to be nervous about public speaking too, but after becoming more social with people, suspending my negative emotions, disengaging from my usual necessity to impress, and modeling myself off of my favorite charismatic actors, I now give off the impression that I'm an extrovert, when in fact I am very much introverted. All you need to do is: 1) Know what you're saying before you say it 2) Be sure that what you're saying isn't awkward or politically/socially extreme 3) Don't care what people think (After all, people usually only care about what they have to say; not what others have to say) 4) It's easiest and most preferable to say what you have to once to 40 people than to say it 40 times to each individually.
Don't say something like that, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. NEVER give up. I've experienced the worst possible emotional conditions while giving presentations. I am/was much worse than you believe me. You just need the will to improve.
In middle school, I try to not care and all of this and everything, but I shake my voice does weird stuff, I get red and as I go on I realize how much more and more awkward things are. There is no way out, school is just something you have to get past if you aren't good at presenting :/
+mon1tor I hate it so much i'm like this too. The only way I'll get past this in life is too just keep doing it and training yourself and getting better each time.
I was always really good at public speaking until a few months ago I presented something and I couldn't speak and everyone was staring at me then my arms shook and hands and then I stared at my teacher shaking, and ever since then I get really nervous speaking in front if class... I have a project in two days that I'm really nervous for so i hope it goes okay
Pretend you don't give a shit look bored or angry and eventually you'll not give a shit forever worked for me, this guy was talking shit to me but I ignored him and didn't acknowledge his presence until he left, he looked like such a jackass XD
+Ali Fuchs I have the same problem as you. I get really nervous when i speak to my teachers or accept an award. Its weird because i love my teachers and i dont know why i am nervous specially speaking to them and sometimes i wonder if they notice my hands shaking. I dont know what to do
I've learned to reduce my nervousness by getting to know my audience before I make my speech. This way, my audience is no longer made up of strangers but new acquaintances.
my teacher put all the students he hates in one group to do a presentation….to see us all fail together…heres the thing….he hates me because I'm shy and i never answer the question he makes in class…yeah i hate him…..so there comes the period before his class….and i found this vid!!!!! DAMN i sure shut his mouth with my awesome presentation…..
I always cry too much lol. In the morning of my speech day I immediately started crying after I put my dress on and I couldn't stop crying even when i sat in the car ready to go to school idk if I was having a panic attack or what but I was so nervous. I ended up skipping school. I have to re-do it tomorrow and I'm obviously nervouse as hell. I'm gonna try this dudes tricks like ima act like I'm gonna own this fuckin speech
omg I'm in the same situation. I have to present tomorrow in a class where I literally talk to no one and I'm stressing out :((( I kind of don't even want to go to that class at all lol weird how talking in front of others that have to present as well makes me nervous as heck! all I want to do is cry!!! I hope your presentation goes good tomorrow!!!! good luck :)
I always stutter and forget what I'm going to say and end up just standing there awkwardly. I have a presentation tomorrow, hopefully this video helps. Wish me luck
Every single time I have to public speak, and I'm really nervous, I always come back to watch this video again. It has helped a lot! It has really built up my confidence! Thank you!
I remember watching this video couple of years back (when I was at high school, now am at uni) and this video really did help me back then. I subbed to your channel ever since then but couldn’t find what it was called but now I have finally found your channel. Man you need to start uploading videos again.
I have 2 presentations this week. I'm going to tell you what if... I managed to be like a boss in front of people. Usually, my legs and arms are shaking so much that I can't hold a paper, I can hardly stand still... Anyway. Thanks for the video. It gives hope.
Whoever read this. I tried to erase my stress but it wasn't successful. Right before I began my presentation... I was upset. I wasn't happy because I was stressed for absolutely nothing. I smashed myself in my find, destroyed my stupidity, and thought like "This is my last chance..." . I just hid my stress. It was present but I didn't pay attention to it. I smiled, explained everything with being stunner. My teacher said that it was PERFECT...
+rivenblades Thanks. I have already been through 4 presentations since the one I was talking about in that comment. And everytime i feel that the stress is coming, I always say : " Are you going to be afraid of these weak people ? Even though you get stunner, show them who you are god dammit !". And everytime, I just go very hard on myself in my mind but it makes me stronger and I pay attention to all the skills required to do a great presentation. Not only that, it is important to practice the presentations.
Hey, Martin. Just want to let you know that I love the way you present your videos. They're uncomplicated, direct and, above all, funny and helpful. You present a bit of the same other youtubers present their psychology stuff but you present it in a shroter and to the point video. Thanks for the tips. They're allways helpful to somebody at some point! ;)
I need to thank you a thousand times! I have a presentation tomorrow about the american election andfor the first time in ... well ever. I am excited to do a presentation. Your video helped so much!
Public Speaking has been one of my biggest fears, I will avoid PS at all costs.. I struggle with the typical, heart raceing (right away), shaky, and lip shaky etc. To be honest watching this video got me a little nervous HAHA. I have tried Anti Depressants but they don't FIX the problem. I want to be able to do it myself. I am 27 and over the years have gotten better with anxiety in general. That anxiety seems to always show its ugly face.
lucky4everyone Kiss that ugly face and say anxiety you're gonna be my friend. I know you're here to help me, but I'm going to embrace you and do this anyway. Trust me, it's scary as hell, you don't have to be perfect but if you want to master this keep doing it! :)
Thanks so much for this video, it relaxed me a bit more about doing my upcoming presentation in front of my university lecturers. I am still nervous but it's nice to hear that just going for it and pretending you are confident does pay off. Thanks again!
i already prepared anything for presentation in my class. i'm trying to control my nerves but it somehow appear unexpectedly and my heart always pounding before speaking in front of my classmate and teacher. i already tried everything in this video but i just cant control it :( is something wrong with me?
you need to just realise that everyone is in the same boat and no one really cares. once you truly understand this then it won't affect you as much. i used to be just like you.
sasha jean oh ok, but what about a group of people in my class that looked at me very seriously because they knew i'm an awkward, shy person. They do this only to makes fun of me..
Black bird trust me, i've had the same experiences. i used to be extremely shy and i would fear that people would make fun of me while giving presentations, which they sometimes did. it'll get better in time, you just need to gain more confidence.
Gogeta don't worry I have the same problem my advice is just look at the walls at the end of the classroom and imagine u r in ur room by urself or somewhere alone and u won't be all that nervous
I just saw ur video and it really made me smile and loosen myself up on the inside to know that i am going to kill this interview for tomorrow. i hope that the material that u have provided helps me get thru tomorrow. i will keep u posted
Thanks so much man.. I had a presentation today and I watched this the night before and it gave the confidence to go up there and just wing it. My voice was still shaking lol, but it was an amazing feeling! Thank you
Thanks dude, I have to present tomorrow in front of 100 people at work plus 5 other consulting teams.. and for the last 3 days I have been thinking about it and was worried.. I do know my stuff already, that's why I was asked to do this and just before I watched your video, I was already thinking to my self pretty much what you just said about putting yourself in the position to be confident, by controlling your emotion and not slaved by it.
I have a presentation on Thursday and whenever I have to speak on front of people I get super nervous and my voice gets shakey and I get super hot and sweaty so I hope these tips help
I was trying to find videos on how to not act nervous when in front of a lot of people, as I have a big 10 minute presentation tomorrow. When I saw this video you looked like some sort of vlog youtuber and I thought this wouldn't be helpful at all, but after watching i'm actually really glad I found this video, thank you.
4:03 LOL, that is freaking awesome! I just started an acting class and I'm gonna bring that mindset to the table. A seemingly ironic blend of delusional confidence and self-awareness.
I'm so nervous, I have to present my report about a book in front of my class of twenty six kids. Whenever I have to stand in front of my class and talk, or do something, my face turns red, my whole body shakes, I get choked up when I talk like I'm about to cry, I start to sweat, and I just hate talking in front of my class :(
Zersix you 're welcome :)Just remember to stay calm.I dont know but i think my face was red like a tomato🍅.Well,I think so because I started getting really hot lol😂.So,stay calm and enjoy your presentation
I love this video, thank you. I hate public speaking which is why I am here watching your video. ahaha I will do my best but thank you for sharing your story.
I have a presentation in English and when I get up there by myself I. Start shaking and my hands shake and it’s embarrassing and my voice goes wobbly and every will laugh it’s so no t fair 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢
alright so I have this speech to present tomorrow and I'm stressing out like nobody's business. So I decide to watch a youtube vid about it and thanks sooo much! I feel a lot more confident. This is a really helpful video!
during my last interview, MY VOICE COULDNT STOP TREMBLIN. i sounded like i wanted to friggin cry even though i didn't. i'm scheduling another interview tomorrow and hopefully this time, my voice doesn't go all wonky again. :/ but thanks ur advice, it helped me a ton.
Omg thank you so much! I've got a presentation tomorrow and I was really nervous thinking about it. But those nerves have completely gone! It sucks when you're nervous. One time when I was 10 I had to do a presentation as well.. I was shaking.. I couldn't control it and I was so happy when it was over. But seriously the paper that I was holding almost shuck out of my hands xD and once again THANK you.. You're awesome!
Joshua Sherwood Hahaha yup I know what you mean! It's like your hands get a mind of their own and suddenly decide "Welp, today I feel like dancing in front of the whole class, here I go!" Hahaha, no problem!! Thank you! :)
I don't know why but somewhere during highschool I suddenly got extremely nervous giving presentations or talking to groups of people. Before that I loved presentations, they said I should work in the ad business (as a joke xd) because I always had such detailed presentations, made jokes and got the class to laugh and get excited. But then just like that I somehow couldnt stand in front of a class without my voice getting shaky, I forget half of what I am about to say and just completely fuck up :( Its that bad now that before I talk to a group or someone I already think waaay to much about it before even saying the first word. I want to puch myself to break through the comfort zone, but doing the first step is always difficult :(
Wow!!! Exact same thing with me!! Last year I was nervous during presentations but got through them well. Just this last week I had my first presentation of the year and I got so nervous my throat kinda closed up while I was talking and I had to stop mid sentence and basically gasp for air. Also my voice was really shakey and it was sooooo embarassing. After that presentation I had another where I literally said 25 words and the same throat closing thing happened. I'm scared because my english teacher said we are having a lot of presentations and I literally can't speak when my throat does this thing when I get so nervous.... Hoping to redeem myself on my next presentstion.
I have to speak in front of 100 to 200 people tomorrow about fraud prevention and this will be the second year I've been volunteered to do this. Last year my voiced cracked I was so nervous. As soon as I heard I had to volunteer again, my heart started pounding. Watching these videos to help a little, but I guess I gotta get over the fear
ive been anti social for about a full year now because i was kicked out of school for overreacting when i got scared and now im going back tomorrow im so scared of people i cant help it.
I did my speech on "why going to church is necessary" I was really nervous and the lol moment was when I found great comfort standing with my legs completely crossed over the other...funny thing I've never stood like that before ever... lolol I wonder what kind of grade will my speech get lol
Omg!!!!!! Thank you so much, I have a speech to do tomorrow for my 5th grade graduation ceremony and im freaking shy. Before I was like omg I can't do this, what im I going to do? If I screw up I'll be a big embarrassment SHOOT!!!!!!!!!!!! But now I feel much more confidence and saying this will be a piece of cake. Thank you soooooooooo much you are my hero!!!
Loveee your videos! the worst experience i had is in high school during a Bio debate. During the rebuttal stage i just froze (literally) and i didnt know what to say. at the end, i just said the random things that came to mind. It was the longest 3 mins of my life lol. Oh and random question.. What's the paint colour on your background?
Thank you. you helped me so much! I took all of ur advice and I killed my presentation! And my teacher did the same thing, he talked about how disappointed he was and then turned to me and said I was great! That I've done everything he wanted to see and had the best presentation by far this school year! So thanks so much you got me an A!
Thanks, I have to do a speech tomorrow because I did it yesterday but I was so nervous so i failed but then the teacher said I can go again so help me out
I have a presentation tomorrow which I am presenting in front of my whole class. When I practiced with my teacher, I turned all sweaty and very warm. My friend was watching me and she said that I turned red. Is that normal?! I was confident doing my salutation but I got attacked by my anxiety. Thinking about it makes me so nervous. Wish me luck! ...
The second I start hearing my own shaky voice and realize that everyone is staring at me and listening to my shaky voice...my voice gets shakier and I start speaking faster. The worst is when my voice is so shaky that I turn a 5 min presentation into a 2 min presentation and everything coming out of my mouth becomes indecipherable.
Happened to me yesterday I finished my presentation in 2 min and i looked so nervous 😂ughh
my voice never gets shaky during a presentation but I say "umm" A LOT AND IT GETS PRETTY ANNOYING! and when I make eye contact with my classmates then that's the part where I get really nervous xP so idgaf if I don't get any points for that XD I have a final project for science that I have to present on wednesday-.- but screw it! idc what I get for that because presentations are really hard for me its like a phobia even

Hope this helps me. I don't like giving presentations because of my social anxiety.

+Sarah Barnett Hey Sarah, voice is all mainly controlled by breath. If you can take really deep breaths before you go up that'll help!
The reason people become nervous, I think at least, is because they are afraid of people's preconceived notions of them as well as the impression they will leave after the presentation. Once you reach a level of true self acceptance confidence will follow and the anxiety lessens. I find it's also best to get it over and done with early. Fake it till you make it people!!

My class are going to choice a song, and then each one is supposed to stand infront of the class and i am so scared about it. What if everyone thinks my song is pathetic. ): I get so nervous.
EXACTLY!
and the worst you find a little comfort zone the fact that your firends don't listen to you, but suddenly your teacher ruin all of it....tell them to listen and pay attention...
I know my stuff but I'm so afraid that I'll forget in front of everyone!
I used to be nervous about public speaking too, but after becoming more social with people, suspending my negative emotions, disengaging from my usual necessity to impress, and modeling myself off of my favorite charismatic actors, I now give off the impression that I'm an extrovert, when in fact I am very much introverted.
All you need to do is:
1) Know what you're saying before you say it
2) Be sure that what you're saying isn't awkward or politically/socially extreme
3) Don't care what people think (After all, people usually only care about what they have to say; not what others have to say)
4) It's easiest and most preferable to say what you have to once to 40 people than to say it 40 times to each individually.
thx kinda help
Thank u so much that will help me a bit for tommorow
It’s just hard for me to not care what anyone thinks because I feel like everyone is always judging me..
Christian French - great tips! Thank you! Take good care.
I haven't overcome this yet probably going to be like this the rest of my life 😑
MONO VALE me too at least some people are like me I am so Nervous just thinking about it
scnathan nathan damn sorry to hear that man
Don't say something like that, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. NEVER give up. I've experienced the worst possible emotional conditions while giving presentations. I am/was much worse than you believe me. You just need the will to improve.
@@monovale442 how are you doing now
@@supremekreep I'm still the same way. It's tough living like this 😥
I have a presentation alone today in front of a high school class, and I'm super scared I'm going to cry when I get up there :,(
how did it go?
+Freddie Mercury I can confirm Noodle is no longer with us, I was there.
+Zersix lol
Zersix D':
NoodlePupGaming hehe
I get panic attack when presenting infront of class...
Relatable
In middle school, I try to not care and all of this and everything, but I shake my voice does weird stuff, I get red and as I go on I realize how much more and more awkward things are. There is no way out, school is just something you have to get past if you aren't good at presenting :/
Exacly :(
+mon1tor I hate it so much i'm like this too. The only way I'll get past this in life is too just keep doing it and training yourself and getting better each time.
I'm lucky cuz I don't blush but I feel like I blush.
+mon1tor thats exactly what happens to me.
At least ur face doesnt get beat red.:(
mine does
+Milagro Soria at least you don't shake and shiver than fall when you do it
+Bella Corsiglia I shake and one I fell of the stage and fell into a giant cake
+rainbowsheep 435 same!!!!
i think blushing is still better than crying in front of the class...
I was always really good at public speaking until a few months ago I presented something and I couldn't speak and everyone was staring at me then my arms shook and hands and then I stared at my teacher shaking, and ever since then I get really nervous speaking in front if class... I have a project in two days that I'm really nervous for so i hope it goes okay
Electric Productions lol how’d it go
that bad eh
Hm wonder what happened
Maybe your anxiety just kicked in or you got more self conscious..? Not sure
How can I tell my teacher I have anxiety and am afraid of presenting or taking tests? Also I get nervous just talking to my teachers! Please help!
I have the same problem. Fuck anxiety
+Beats By Shadow (Tectonic Beats) yep hate it so much!
Pretend you don't give a shit look bored or angry and eventually you'll not give a shit forever worked for me, this guy was talking shit to me but I ignored him and didn't acknowledge his presence until he left, he looked like such a jackass XD
+Ali Fuchs I have the same problem as you. I get really nervous when i speak to my teachers or accept an award. Its weird because i love my teachers and i dont know why i am nervous specially speaking to them and sometimes i wonder if they notice my hands shaking. I dont know what to do
+McKayla Townsend ya same!!! Really scared for our pssa tomorrow, kinda got upset today and scream at my friend🙄 so idk how it will go
I've learned to reduce my nervousness by getting to know my audience before I make my speech. This way, my audience is no longer made up of strangers but new acquaintances.
Kevin P That's solid!!
Id rather say it to strangers tbh 😭 I have a speech to present and I'm scared
that moment when your face is getting red and never stop
my teacher put all the students he hates in one group to do a presentation….to see us all fail together…heres the thing….he hates me because I'm shy and i never answer the question he makes in class…yeah i hate him…..so there comes the period before his class….and i found this vid!!!!! DAMN i sure shut his mouth with my awesome presentation…..
lmfao
I always cry too much lol. In the morning of my speech day I immediately started crying after I put my dress on and I couldn't stop crying even when i sat in the car ready to go to school idk if I was having a panic attack or what but I was so nervous. I ended up skipping school. I have to re-do it tomorrow and I'm obviously nervouse as hell. I'm gonna try this dudes tricks like ima act like I'm gonna own this fuckin speech
omg I'm in the same situation. I have to present tomorrow in a class where I literally talk to no one and I'm stressing out :((( I kind of don't even want to go to that class at all lol weird how talking in front of others that have to present as well makes me nervous as heck! all I want to do is cry!!! I hope your presentation goes good tomorrow!!!! good luck :)
+Kim A i feel u good luck to u too ur prob gonna fucking ace it
+emily thank you :)
I always stutter and forget what I'm going to say and end up just standing there awkwardly. I have a presentation tomorrow, hopefully this video helps. Wish me luck
Every single time I have to public speak, and I'm really nervous, I always come back to watch this video again. It has helped a lot! It has really built up my confidence! Thank you!
Most of the stuff he said we all probably already knew but just seeing and hearing somebody talk about it already makes me feel better.
Sometimes I'd rather go first in presentations just because I would want to get it over and done with and not dread it aha :)
You give a fresh look at being confident and putting things in perspective.
Thanks for the advice! I rocked my presentations.
+Ryan Thanks bro. Thats's awesome!!
ya thanks for the tip
Ay thanks for posting these up bro! Helps alot of people. Myself included.
"Be the change you want to see in other."
Vincentcleo Donato For sure dude! :)
I remember watching this video couple of years back (when I was at high school, now am at uni) and this video really did help me back then. I subbed to your channel ever since then but couldn’t find what it was called but now I have finally found your channel. Man you need to start uploading videos again.
I have 2 presentations this week. I'm going to tell you what if... I managed to be like a boss in front of people. Usually, my legs and arms are shaking so much that I can't hold a paper, I can hardly stand still... Anyway. Thanks for the video. It gives hope.
Whoever read this. I tried to erase my stress but it wasn't successful. Right before I began my presentation... I was upset. I wasn't happy because I was stressed for absolutely nothing. I smashed myself in my find, destroyed my stupidity, and thought like "This is my last chance..." . I just hid my stress. It was present but I didn't pay attention to it. I smiled, explained everything with being stunner. My teacher said that it was PERFECT...
+Survivor Erkanlepro *mind
*without being stunner
Survivor Erkanlepro very nice. im glad you overcomed this
+rivenblades Thanks. I have already been through 4 presentations since the one I was talking about in that comment. And everytime i feel that the stress is coming, I always say : " Are you going to be afraid of these weak people ? Even though you get stunner, show them who you are god dammit !". And everytime, I just go very hard on myself in my mind but it makes me stronger and I pay attention to all the skills required to do a great presentation. Not only that, it is important to practice the presentations.
You are such an inspiration :). Keep posting videos! :)
you seem like a cool, chill and a happy guy. hope you never change.
Hey, Martin. Just want to let you know that I love the way you present your videos. They're uncomplicated, direct and, above all, funny and helpful.
You present a bit of the same other youtubers present their psychology stuff but you present it in a shroter and to the point video. Thanks for the tips. They're allways helpful to somebody at some point! ;)
I need to thank you a thousand times! I have a presentation tomorrow about the american election andfor the first time in ... well ever. I am excited to do a presentation. Your video helped so much!
You're welcome!
Lana Laheij how'd it go
+Y.m .a someone says he died at the presentation of a heart attack. Rip lanja.
Public Speaking has been one of my biggest fears, I will avoid PS at all costs.. I struggle with the typical, heart raceing (right away), shaky, and lip shaky etc. To be honest watching this video got me a little nervous HAHA. I have tried Anti Depressants but they don't FIX the problem. I want to be able to do it myself. I am 27 and over the years have gotten better with anxiety in general. That anxiety seems to always show its ugly face.
lucky4everyone Kiss that ugly face and say anxiety you're gonna be my friend. I know you're here to help me, but I'm going to embrace you and do this anyway. Trust me, it's scary as hell, you don't have to be perfect but if you want to master this keep doing it! :)
Thanks so much for this video, it relaxed me a bit more about doing my upcoming presentation in front of my university lecturers. I am still nervous but it's nice to hear that just going for it and pretending you are confident does pay off. Thanks again!
Dude this literally helped me so much!!!! Especially the part about pretending to be someone else, love this channel!!
+Hailey Hendricks Stoked to hear it!!! Thank you! :)
i already prepared anything for presentation in my class. i'm trying to control my nerves but it somehow appear unexpectedly and my heart always pounding before speaking in front of my classmate and teacher.
i already tried everything in this video but i just cant control it :( is something wrong with me?
you need to just realise that everyone is in the same boat and no one really cares. once you truly understand this then it won't affect you as much. i used to be just like you.
sasha jean oh ok, but what about a group of people in my class that looked at me very seriously because they knew i'm an awkward, shy person. They do this only to makes fun of me..
Black bird trust me, i've had the same experiences. i used to be extremely shy and i would fear that people would make fun of me while giving presentations, which they sometimes did. it'll get better in time, you just need to gain more confidence.
sasha jean ok, i'll try it thanks for the advice
Gogeta don't worry I have the same problem my advice is just look at the walls at the end of the classroom and imagine u r in ur room by urself or somewhere alone and u won't be all that nervous
My problem is breathing, I tend to get nervous and become short of breath l0l
This really helped me! I have to present a science project that is really weird, but now you've helped me to be open minded!
I just saw ur video and it really made me smile and loosen myself up on the inside to know that i am going to kill this interview for tomorrow. i hope that the material that u have provided helps me get thru tomorrow. i will keep u posted
I hope this works. I have to read my essay at my graduation....
+Jose It went good... Luckily... Aside from the shaking
1. Know your stuff
2. Embody confidence
3. You’re just speaking to other human beings
Thanks so much man.. I had a presentation today and I watched this the night before and it gave the confidence to go up there and just wing it. My voice was still shaking lol, but it was an amazing feeling! Thank you
Thanks dude, I have to present tomorrow in front of 100 people at work plus 5 other consulting teams.. and for the last 3 days I have been thinking about it and was worried.. I do know my stuff already, that's why I was asked to do this and just before I watched your video, I was already thinking to my self pretty much what you just said about putting yourself in the position to be confident, by controlling your emotion and not slaved by it.
I watch this video everytime I have to present
I have a presentation on Thursday and whenever I have to speak on front of people I get super nervous and my voice gets shakey and I get super hot and sweaty so I hope these tips help
I was trying to find videos on how to not act nervous when in front of a lot of people, as I have a big 10 minute presentation tomorrow. When I saw this video you looked like some sort of vlog youtuber and I thought this wouldn't be helpful at all, but after watching i'm actually really glad I found this video, thank you.
thank you for all your videos!! they help me so much!
4:03 LOL, that is freaking awesome! I just started an acting class and I'm gonna bring that mindset to the table. A seemingly ironic blend of delusional confidence and self-awareness.
Hahaha yes diggin' dude! That sounds fun!
I'm so nervous, I have to present my report about a book in front of my class of twenty six kids. Whenever I have to stand in front of my class and talk, or do something, my face turns red, my whole body shakes, I get choked up when I talk like I'm about to cry, I start to sweat, and I just hate talking in front of my class :(
oh😢I have to make a presentation today in my whole English School
+Derpy Tacozz I'm going to do a presentation for three people tomorrow THREE!! And I have been feeling awful this entire day just thinking about it :(

Man thank you so much, the advice worked! :)
+Jude™ Great to hear!
Omg thank you so much! I've got a presentation tomorrow and I was really nervous thinking about it. But those nerves have completely gone! It sucks when you're nervous. One time when I was 10 I had to do a presentation as well.. I was shaking.. I couldn't control it and I was so happy when it was over. But seriously the paper that I was holding almost shuck out of my hands xD and once again THANK you.. You're awesome!
Joshua Sherwood Hahaha yup I know what you mean! It's like your hands get a mind of their own and suddenly decide "Welp, today I feel like dancing in front of the whole class, here I go!" Hahaha, no problem!! Thank you! :)
PeakYourMind haha that is so true
Your videos are great, and help so much! This helps me so much, thank you so much!
Bry Nicole Thanks Bry!! No problem! :)
Great advices martin .. Thank you
CUTEST nervous story ever hahaha i'm so nervous but i'm going to remember your face and be a boss too !!
Hahaha awesome!! #BOSSLIFE
i did ittttttttt !!!!!! thanks to u , i practiced a lot though , practice makes perfect !!
I don't know why but somewhere during highschool I suddenly got extremely nervous giving presentations or talking to groups of people. Before that I loved presentations, they said I should work in the ad business (as a joke xd) because I always had such detailed presentations, made jokes and got the class to laugh and get excited. But then just like that I somehow couldnt stand in front of a class without my voice getting shaky, I forget half of what I am about to say and just completely fuck up :(
Its that bad now that before I talk to a group or someone I already think waaay to much about it before even saying the first word. I want to puch myself to break through the comfort zone, but doing the first step is always difficult :(
Wow!!! Exact same thing with me!! Last year I was nervous during presentations but got through them well. Just this last week I had my first presentation of the year and I got so nervous my throat kinda closed up while I was talking and I had to stop mid sentence and basically gasp for air. Also my voice was really shakey and it was sooooo embarassing. After that presentation I had another where I literally said 25 words and the same throat closing thing happened. I'm scared because my english teacher said we are having a lot of presentations and I literally can't speak when my throat does this thing when I get so nervous.... Hoping to redeem myself on my next presentstion.
I have to speak in front of 100 to 200 people tomorrow about fraud prevention and this will be the second year I've been volunteered to do this. Last year my voiced cracked I was so nervous. As soon as I heard I had to volunteer again, my heart started pounding. Watching these videos to help a little, but I guess I gotta get over the fear
I love this! Thankyou, it really helped me. I've got a group interview in 3 days and I'm SO SCARED!!!!
Thanks Sophie! You got this. Good luck!
Awesome video man, really helped me a lot!!
Job de Vries Thanks bro!

+Elvira manat You got it!

Lol
Thank you Sm for this. I have to present something in my 4th period tomorrow, and i feel a lot better about it now

I have a speech for college tmw lmaooo
Perfect advice, thank you brother for your time.
whenever i think about it,, my heart actually drops and i can definitely feel it
Loveee your videos! the worst experience i had is in high school during a Bio debate. During the rebuttal stage i just froze (literally) and i didnt know what to say. at the end, i just said the random things that came to mind. It was the longest 3 mins of my life lol. Oh and random question.. What's the paint colour on your background?
serah2enrique Hahahahahaha "the end" that's hilarious! It reminds me of a scene from 21 Jump Street. It's light blue but sometimes it looks greyish!
I know Weedborn has the greatest CBD supplements around.
Thank you. you helped me so much! I took all of ur advice and I killed my presentation! And my teacher did the same thing, he talked about how disappointed he was and then turned to me and said I was great! That I've done everything he wanted to see and had the best presentation by far this school year! So thanks so much you got me an A!
Great role model. You plugged into a strong energy because you decided to! Way to go.
Marti MacEwan Thanks Marti :) Yes exactly!
Thanks, I have to do a speech tomorrow because I did it yesterday but I was so nervous so i failed but then the teacher said I can go again so help me out
I have a presentation tomorrow which I am presenting in front of my whole class. When I practiced with my teacher, I turned all sweaty and very warm. My friend was watching me and she said that I turned red. Is that normal?! I was confident doing my salutation but I got attacked by my anxiety. Thinking about it makes me so nervous. Wish me luck! ...
Thank you SO much! I have a speech contest tomorrow and I'm SO nervous this really helps!!
This is some really good advice,i have to present tomorrow and im definitely going to remember this.
:)
