I practice a lot.  I once took an optional public speaking class just to get practice.  I almost turned around in my car the first day of class.  But I stuck it out.  It was worthwhile, and helped me get better just from easing the nerves.

I find the hottest girl in the crowd and just stare at her tits the whole time I'm talking.

A loud voice and threats you can back up.

I once heard that the biggest fear is public speaking.  It's feared even more than death.  Sort of makes sense.  A speech is more immediate and you figure you won't die for years.

on message boards where I have access to individual brains sharing this site lost in faith nobody can understand self evident displacement serving humanity forward now.

Takes deep breaths.  Sounds like a cliche, but it can work.  Take a huge breath right before you speak can eliminate the shaky voice, at least at the start.  A lot of people are then again once they warm up to the audience.

See the audience doesn't have to warm up to the performer but electorate has to obey the elected since they became the chosen people to inherit the time and place everyone adapts in so far..

when are ancestors going to whys up to their own behavior demanding human rights to pretend life isn't self evident? All this global chaos within one species is done intentionally from within this species for the exact stupidity you posted and perform. You frustrate my instinctive brain, make my blood boil, and the more you do it the more my brain can imagine this species is at its point of no return to sanity of adapting to life in real time now.

I have my wife telling me to keep my opinions to myself since her brother just died. I have my son loathing humanity and doesn't want to hear how to balance between the insanity all around. My daughter listens but stuck between same rock and hard place everyone is. This is why I post where ever I am allowed. I get the benefits of when I discuss what I understand to people my instincts see are willing to listen, their eyes show the weight of the world lift off their shoulders.

That is what keeps me doing this as unrecognizable as possible because history and current events shows what people will do to anyone debunking the message life isn't self evident and reality saves souls.

I will stay civil with your civic minded choices to ignore life in plain sight. But you know, I know humanity's time denying life in plain sight is over.

No need for deep breaths, the most important thing is not to take it and yourself too seriously, don't be afraid to get laughed at, make them laugh with you instead, it can be a serious/boring topic but when you make a funny out of nowhere that they didn't see coming that changes the mood, warms up the audience.. you can still be serious but it doesn't feel that way, just see it like entertainment, most people in the room probably didn't want to be there either and prepared themselves to get bored..

I never had a problem with public speaking.  When called upon to do this, I

• Make sure I know the subject I'm speaking about completely
• Make an outline of what I want to cover, including how much detail and examples I want to use.
• Then, figure out how to make it interesting - if what you are saying is dry and boring, you've lost your audience.  Some people use jokes,  I don't.
• Make sure I can cover my outline in the allotted amount of time, and don't ramble.

By the time I'm done, I have my outline committed to memory and generally don't use notes, or have them nearby just in case.  If its a more technical matter, then I'll prepare a power-point presentation.

I took a speech class in High School, and had fun with it.  It just came natural to me.

I do the opposite - find some random ugly dudes to look at.  The last thing i want to see are tits, or.......nipples.

Great pretenders can do that with using con-science, time relativity, theory of evolution, working reasonable doubt done last 350 generation gaps so far.
