How to Overcome Fear in Making a Presentation

My class will be having a one on one presentation and most of them are so nervous and afraid on that day, so what can I Say as am on the same situation before. I remember how my knees trembled for fears everytime I stand in front of everybody. Honestly normal person can feel that, as it is not easy to face people and how to say words in front of them, but how about those successful preachers and speakers and presenters? How are they able to overcome and pass that stage? Including me?
1.      1.  First you should be prepared. Prepare all the things you needed like USB, laptop, drafts and printed output, and most of it prepare your self.

2.       2. Practice your presentation: Words mumble at first, but practice reading and the content of your presentation to be familiar with words, as fear comes when you get mistakes.

3.       3. Face the mirror: Looking your self in the mirror while doing your delivery will one way for you to identify your mistakes.

4.     4.   Be familiar with the stage: Try to stand on the stage where you will be standing before your audience were there.

5.     5.   Be comfortable with your costume: Your suit is not so tight or not so loose to have destruction while you are delivering your speech or your presentation.

6.      6.  Focus in the first few minutes: Fear is in the first few minutes especially all the audience eyes are focused on you, but after these, it flows nicely.

7.      7.  Breathe in: When you are afraid you breathe faster, so before you start you should breathe slowly.

8.      8.  Tell yourself you can do it: Telling yourself that the world will not be having an earthquake or tsunami because you are the presenter.

9.      9.  Play with your lines: you can make mistakes but know how to laugh and smile on it and make an immediate solution that audience cant noticed you have been mistaken.

110.   Think and play with your audience in your mind: one way to overcome fear is to think that your audience are half naked or half monster..

Once your have able to have these in minds frightening in facing audiences will leave you, you will feel comfortable and relaxed dominating the stage.
