9、 a laughing matter. Uncertainty leads to stage fright. Sooo. minimize the uncertainty you have about your presentation. I recommend the following when preparing for a presentation:Go to the room where you are to present and become familiar with the surroundings. Identify any cords (tripping is embar
10、rassing), furniture, equipment, or other items which may get in your way. Move them before your presentation if you can. If they cannot be moved, make sure you anticipate their position when you practice. Make sure the lighting is adequate. Know how to turn the lights off and on. You do not want to
11、be stuck trying to figure out how to turn a light bulb on in front of 100 people. Get sleep! It is hard to be at your best if you stayed up the entire night getting ready. To avoid this, have all your slides and materials you will need for the presentation ready 1 - 2 days before your presentation.
12、Stage fright is usually most intense in the first 20 -30 seconds. Use your first 20 -30 seconds in front of your audience to get set up (i.e. place your slides, position your equipment, etc.). Memorize what you are going to say for the first 1-2 slides. This will help ensure you get off to a smooth
13、start. If you feel comfortable after the first couple of slide, you will feel better as you proceed through the presentation. Remember though, it is not practical to memorize you entire presentation; just the first couple slides is enough.PRACTICE! I recommend 1-2 “run-throughs“ where you sit and re
14、ad through the slides organizing the main points and phrases you want to say. Practice 2-3 times “in the real“ where you stand up and either use an overhead or projector. Then practice 1-3, timing yourself each time, to ensure that you will not go overtime. DO NOT BE AFRAID to start over. If you get
15、 into the first slide and get tripped up, you might feel better sayings, “Sorry, let me start over again.“ This is quite common, use it if you need it.
