I’m taking a speech class in college, I’m required too, if it was for me I would have not even think of taken such class. Anyways, I get extremely nervous giving speeches in front of a class, I mean at home I’m quiet most of the time, I’m not a natural speaker. I get very very red, and that kills me!!! What should I do?
I just got done taking a public speaking class in school.i took it so i could get over my nerves.my problem was that i go shaky like my hands.and i would say um alot.
But my teacher told the class everyone is in the same boat as you you all have to do it. but to make it easier chose a topic that you like, and that your interested in. Also make sure you know what your talking about you have to be convincing.Another thing is practice infront of a mirror and practice practice alot.if you do it in the mirror a few times you can see how you stress words and work on how you say things if you get what im saying.it finally got better for me.just take your time.and if you need help just ask someone.but make sure you know what your talking about and that you like the topic if you can manage that it will be easier to tell people what you know.and practice if you do it a speech a million times before you give it you will be great.good luck.email me on how the class goes!

I think the speech class should help you out. I use to be the same way I had to get up and make speeches in front of about 100 people and I am the shy type and also get red. When you don’t think about it and just do it you will be surprised its not a big deal. you will get over your fear after a couple of times you make your speech. Be confident in yourself you will be fine

Try to work on your grammar skills. There is probably a tutoring center at college that can help you. That will help you feel more confident.
Also, as someone suggested earlier, join Toastmasters. It is an enormous help to many people who are nervous about speaking in public and blushing. Everyone in the group is in the same situation, so you are recognized for any progress you make, by folks who know exactly what it takes for you to get up there.
Good luck!
