A good way to "look at your audience" if you get nervous is to look slightly above which section you want to look at. This makes it seem like you're directly looking at them while in actuality you are just staring at the back of the room. Also remember to turn to face a new section of the audience from time to time. You should definitely push yourself to look directly at your audience to improve yourself in general when dealing with people.
I am a High School student and I have done a lot of presentations in my school. After watching this video, I have improved my skills in presenting subjects. Thanks brother Gohar❤
When it comes to how strict your teacher is on the rubric, don't always say "um" or "uh" whenever you're explaining a topic in your presentation. Hope that helps! 😊
this is impossible for me i can't speak in class without saying umm at least once. normally at the start of the sentence i know what i'm gonna say and it always goes "um-"
Pro tip for the eye contact: look at people specifically in the audience. Not above them or at some random point in the room. It will make your point come across very clearly if you do.
1 - *Eye contact* : just look at the audience so you can make them feel like you're talking to each one of them individually, which leads into them getting more interested 2 - *Body language* : don't just stand there with your hands in a shape, move around the room, don't move too fast nor too much cause you'd be distracting your audience, but instead move like you're just drifting Also with your hands you should probably do gestures that relate to what you're talking about For example if you're listing sth raise your hand up and count numbers in them 3 - *tone* : you can't keep your tone the same the whole entire time. It will just get your audience bored. Instead try raising your voice in important stuff and lowering your voice when it's sth useless 4 - *interact* : interact with your audience. Ask them questions about their personal experiences relating to the topic. It'd be better if you ask them at the beginning to grab their attention 5 - *have fun* : no one would remember if you messed up while saying a word so really just go for it without worrying
Hey Gohar! Thanks a lot!I watched this short day before yesterday and today was my presentation and aced it.Usually I am nervous but because of this short I was much more confident and performed Amazingly❤ Once again,THANK YOU❤
also,if you might think that the audience WILL laugh at you if you are inside or outside focus on one thing avoid contact with the audience or if you arw inside you can look at the wall and focus the wall. hope this help
on top of that, I would say every sentence look to a different person so everybody grasps what your saying more. If you just look at one person they may be confused and also might distract the rest of the audience while presenting
When I was a kid I couldn’t stand eye contact and now I can’t live without it, people think it’s intimidating, and exudes confidence, I’m just comfortable around people and I like that about myself
What also helped me in the past was realising that the other people know how nervous we are… that way, its easier to just take a few seconds to breathe if your mind blanks and start over again… it also underlines that no, you’re not unprepared, you’re just nervous because you take the presentation serious, at least in my opinion 😅
I remember a few months ago I used this at my first solo presentation I had Abit a stage fright but thanks to this I actually got through it and now doing presentation is my thing. So thank you
When i was in year 7 my English teacher always gave us presentation tips. Here are some of them: Make eye contact with different people Use body language a lot Move from one place to another every once in a while Waver your volume from so low to so high suddenly , this way people will focus and will get curious about what's next Use these tips it'll be fun for both you and the audience and you'll be more confident
When I was 10 I attended a poem contest. (We were doing one about why tobacco is bad for you) And I looked at the audience, kinda stared at the judge for too long, but still won. It felt amazing. My mom said I did amazing but kinda fidgeted with my hands but did she really expect me to move my hands? I actually won a new ipad so I didn’t have to beg my parents to buy me one. 😎 My poem was the longest. We were all coached by professional (really good) poets. The guy who coached me was very funny and he helped me speak louder and helped me out of my comfort zone. Even though I still have my social anxiety, he really helped me in front of big crowds. I mean the only thing I had done was faintly sing karaoke. He’s a real legend, I thank him. ❤❤❤❤ (Also Note of advice have the longest poem in a poem contest, speak clearly and actually act like you know what your doing and be smart and you will win like me✨✨)
What helped with my actual confidence in class presentations is realizing that literally no one cares and they are barely paying attention in the first place. No one will remember it unless you do something funny and that’s it
I did a presentation once and wasn't underconfident even a bit ,looking straight ahead at people,asking questions,Solving doubts,And explaining the topics in a loud enough voice Even though I am a introvert
I have a life hack to not be nervous while in the presentation Just recite this: ربی اشرح لی صدری و یسر لی امری فاحلل العقده من لسانی یفقوا قولی rabi ashrah li sadri woa isr li ameri fahlel al aqda min lisani iafqahou qauli My lord explain my chest and make my problem easy and untie the knot from my tongue so they can understand my saying
As a debater, it really just takes practice. Ypu get used to it over time. Additionally, public speaking is generally an art that takes experience to perfect, so by the end of my first season I had lost all my nervousness.
following up the pyramid with the philly (raise one hand 4 inches in front of your solar plexus or next to your cheek and "hold the pen/fly") is also a good way to show confidence imo
For your hands, a better option is to keep the inside of your thumb on one hand on the inside of your index finger on the other hand. It looks quite natural and you can still easily move your hands apart if you want to. Try it!
all good tips! here’s a life saver: - look right above the students in the most central portion of the room. looks like you’re making eye contact, but it’s less awkward
Fun Fact: when making eye contact, it might actually help to look at the audiences foreheads and not their eyes cuz this makes you less nervous. My mom told me this and I didn’t believe it but it actually worked.
I’m late to the party but here’s the advice I use If the entire class has to give a presentation, then they are most likely going to worry about their presentations also. They won’t focus on your presentation so it will basically be talking to an empty classroom. Just people that can’t focus, and now just present.
Actually, upward inflection is better as it doesn't end the sentence. Your presentation should be one big point with everything you say working towards that point. Upwards inflection connects the different segments of the presentation making it more coherent and easy to follow. Which can make you feel more confident as people listening attentively is more confidence boosting then people staring at you puzzeldly while trying to connect the pieces of your presentation.
And if you are nervous about making eye contact with people, just look at the back wall of your classroom or look at the people you are comfortable with.

I always do this lol
One of my teachers actually said they look at our forehead instead of our eyes when she speaks or teaches lessons
@@omelettej y'all have big forehead
(jk)
@@v0sick heh it depends on the person
Bruh if I stare into the audience my friends sitting there...
I'm gonna laugh my 🍑 off
Here's a tip: glance at different people in the room for around three seconds each
Instructions unclear: I am no longer able to be near a school.
what did you do??
It's better to look at one spot in front of you instead
Edit:you can also look very weird moving your eyes around so often
everytime I do that I forgot what I am about to say

38 likes and 0 comments? Let me fix that
Basically avoid filler words
My teacher starts counting them when a student starts saying those really often.
as a ADHD person, this makes it worse
this is impossible for me i can't speak in class without saying umm at least once. normally at the start of the sentence i know what i'm gonna say and it always goes "um-"

“Uh, hi everyone, I uh, ummm, what was I gonna say again? Uhhhh, umm… Screw it.”
THANK YOU SO MUCH, GOHAR. I have a presentation due in 2 days and I was scared that my last-moment speech prep would pull all my hard work down! 💖🔥
“But seem super nervous”
The hand having a seizure 💀💀💀
He makes it sound so easy. But if we’re being honest, no one can think clearly when presenting. At least I can’t.
You are not alone.
I have real panic attacks every time I am about to present. It's terrible.
It's just mental torture, nothing more.

"u cAn HOld ThE bAlLs" 💀
Was searching for this comment lol
I needed this gohar
Last one helped so much, I used to talk more 'upwards'. Downwards helped a lot.
"Instead of actually becoming confident, pretend like you are confident"
Could you give an example of downward vs upward inflection?
He did, while mentioning that point. An upward inflection is when you are asking a question
So you know how people tend to raise their pitch at the end of a sentence in order to make it a question?
Don’t do that
I have a winter break right now, and I'm watching all your videos just to be prepared for school
Gonna update on Monday, after school
Also, its good to show hand gestures since it makes others more invested in listening to you.
When i was in year 7 my English teacher always gave us presentation tips.
Here are some of them:
Make eye contact with different people
Use body language a lot
Move from one place to another every once in a while
Waver your volume from so low to so high suddenly , this way people will focus and will get curious about what's next
Use these tips it'll be fun for both you and the audience and you'll be more confident
Gorgeous voice and hairstyle and great tips. Thank you for your service
Bro just gave me step by step instructions on how to feel more nervous 💀💀💀
Bro this is an introverts' worst nightmare
I can relate 🥲🤌
I like how he shows more than just his hands in this video!
Nice Switch Up!
I do speech and debate and this is how most people win. Whoever has a better flow and makes more sense will win
Also try to replace “uh”, “ahm”, and stuttering with silence it helps SO MUCH
Silence is just awkward bro, ahs are much better don't know why people hate ahs. Are we supposed to speak like machines?
“to SEEM like you know what you’re talking about” literally anytime i am fighting with someone and i know that they are right😭😭😭
This was recommended to me 8 hours AFTER my gcse speaking exam
Bro thank you we needed this

I usually look at my best friend when i am nervous. Helps me soooo much:)
All thanks to him! I passed my presentation!!!❤
Tysm, I have a presentation coming up this week and I rly needed this.
I did this trick and I got more confident thx for this tip.
With your videos it can help me... The more I watch you're videos the more my grades increase... Bro I will not unsubscribe you😎🔥⚡
Thank you so much! I have got a few presentations coming up and this will definitely help! Once again, thank you!
I did this exactly when we had to do a 3 minute speech in front of the year below us. Super nerve-wrecking but I did it, and succeeded. 👍
You can also play with a pen, pass it from one hand to another, point it to the audience to enphasize something, etc
This guy gives good advice but his drawings are on point like they're perfect
What helped with my actual confidence in class presentations is realizing that literally no one cares and they are barely paying attention in the first place. No one will remember it unless you do something funny and that’s it
*Or completely shit yourself
thanks, this helped me get a distinction on my English speaking exam :)
I did a presentation once and wasn't underconfident even a bit ,looking straight ahead at people,asking questions,Solving doubts,And explaining the topics in a loud enough voice

Another way you can avoid getting nervous of audiences is to lock eyes with a close friend and then the back of the room, it works for me really well
