Even the best speakers are nervous when they first get up to speak. Barbra Streisand stopped singing for years due to her anxiety about speaking. It is said that for some people, the fear is so strong they’d rather be the one being eulogized, than the one giving the eulogy. There’s nothing wrong being a little nervous before you speak. In fact, a little bit of adrenalin is good because it keeps you alert, focused, and energized as you speak.
A tip to help you feel less anxious before you speak is to visualize the members of the audience smiling and welcoming you as you speak. They came to hear what you have to say and are eager to learn from you!
