  • The main reason for not being able to speak properly on stage is the fear of getting negative response from the audience(becoming a laughing stock).To overcome that 1. You should have a very good command on what you are going to speak on the stage(CONTENT). This will give you the CONFIDENCE to handle the audience and their criticisms(if any).2.Once the content is ready, the next step is PRACTISE-
    first in front of the MIRROR (to check your body language and gestures) Next in front of people whom you are comfortable with(to check your eycontact and rapport with the audience). Finally once in front of a dummy set of audience (to see if you are ready for the BIG presentation).
    All the best for your presentation.

  • When you are giving any seminor or any information, don't care about others and feel like " they don't know anything ". Don't feel like " If I went to mistake they will laugh at me". Let them laugh , what will happen. Failures are stepping stones. Practice , Practice and Practice. Then you will get success.

  • Rehearse 
    Practice is the only key, practice the speeches in front of the mirror, on a podium and keep practicing, the more you practice the more it'll improve

  • first of all one should have inner confidence on himself and though it's a fact that once going and stand on a stage we have some stage fear but we should have that much confidence on ourselves and start in a very awesome manner and once you grap the attention of audience ur confidence increases and with that stage fear decreases ..and with that you himself have to pay attention on rest of the things like proper eye contact and about body language u should have to pay attention from that time when u come on the stage.

  • First of all, feel free while being on stage. Practice before you go for your performance. Thoroughly go through what you are presenting before going on stage. Be confident and keep calm. And don't get panic.

  • For removing stage fear I will suggest you to interact with people as much as you can in group. Later address them as audience.

  • The first and foremost requirement to address an audience is that you should know your topic/subject thoroughly. Great understanding of the subject carries the speaker through the verbal flaws, fumbling with words and inappropriate grip on the language you are delivering your talk or lecture in.

  • The best way if for the first couple of time try not to go up with a long speech with easy words and understating. and then once you get a confidence you will shine bright on that stage.

  • Performing better on the stage is depend on the matter or topic at which your are performing  if,
    you  have  prepaired for that thing before peforming in front of every one that time for few minutes you will feel nurvous but you are having all the knowledge about that topic so you will perform better " to remove your stage fear before performing on stage discuss that thing with every one whom you meet daily or you can speak in front of mirror" that time you will be very confident about your topic and you can perform batter.

  • just speak confidently dosen't matter you are right or wrong..confidence in one self is the key to overcome stage fear...don't take the audience as a big deal talk to them as you normally talk to your friends...don't worry about the consequences if you go wrong..because a single drop of doubt in your mind that "i can go wrong" can turn things against you

  • To perform better one must stop thinking about performing better. one should work more on weak department and focus more performing, beacause the term 'better' will create a pschylogical pressure which can make anyone nervous. second don't look into the audeince eyes. Always try to look a bit above then audience eyes. third make sub points of your performance which will help one in remembering or assemblling the performance.
