3) when i feel nervous all of the topic in mind was loss...!!

4) that why my confident level is less..!!

5) rarely practiced / communicate in english..!!!

 Lets get a few tips here to overcome your nervousness ( fear )…!!! J

      1) Practice your speech in front of a mirror
  • Deliver your speech from beginning to end in front of a full length mirror. 
  • Speaking in front of a mirror is important because every move you make is distracting. 
  • You will notice if you are swaying back and forth, you will notice if you say " um", "ah", and " you know", you will notice if you are getting sweaty, and you will notice if you spit when you speak. 
  • Essentially, the mirror allows you to be cognizant of the subtle distracting actions you make.

  2) Practice your speech facing a wall
  •  Practice your speech from beginning to end facing a wall. 
  • Speaking in front of a wall will allow you to block out all distractions and focus exclusively on the content of your speech. 
  • You may feel sill doing this  at first ( I certainly did ) but speaking in front of a wall will help you identify the parts of your speech that you are struggling with, in which the content is weak, or that you cannot gracefully convey to your audience.

 3) Practice with a friend
  •  You tend to be more relaxed delivering the speech to a friend. 

  • Also, a friend will hopefull be able to understand your topic, ask question, and give honest and candid feedback. 

  • After you finish delivering your speech, probe you friend to find out what parts of your speech were easiest to understand and what parts were most difficult. 

4) Practice with a peer ( non-friend ) 
  • Delivering your speech to a non- friend peer is useful because it adds some pressure. 

  • This will be nowhere near the same amount of pressure you will feel when actually delivering the speech. 

5) Record yourself 
  •  You will hate when hear yourself on your answering machine, and you will hate hearing yourself practice your speech. 

  • Recording your speech and critiquing yourself is extremely important because you will be able to identify and correct any flaws in your speech and stammers in your presentation.

  •  This is a simple tip, but very useful. Trust me.

6) Don't only practice in front of your family 
  • Your family is your best critic, which unfortunately means they will not provide you with honest feedback.

  • Maybe your family is the exception, however, for fear of hurting your feeling, or adding unnecessary pressure, family members are rarely, if ever, suitable practice partners.

  • If a family member insists that you practice your speech in front of them, take their advice with a grain of salt.

  •  You can't blame your family for trying to help, but they should not be considered reliable critics.

Speaking publicly is no different than any other activity - 
" PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT " !! 
Every time you practice your speech you will notice drastic improvements in the quality of your delivery. 
Having a well - practiced speech will definitely curb your fear of public speaking. GOOD LUCK !!!
