How can I overcome my anxiety when speaking in public?

It's common to feel anxious about public speaking. Have you tried practicing in front of a mirror or recording yourself?

I haven't tried that yet. What if I forget what to say?

It's helpful to have an outline or key points to guide you. You can also practice deep breathing to stay calm.

That sounds useful. How can I handle unexpected questions from the audience?

If you encounter unexpected questions, take a moment to think before responding. It's okay to say you need to look into it further.

Thanks! Any tips for staying confident during the speech?

Absolutely! Visualize success, maintain eye contact, and remember that the audience is rooting for you.
