Try the deep breathing technique

Don’t get hung up about being nervous. It’s a

normal human reaction. Don’t make yourself

more nervous because you’re nervous.

Walk off your excessive nervousness. If

possible, walk outside and get some fresh air

at the same time. But a walk down the

corridor is better than no walk.

Work your jaw. Gentle side-to-side or circular
motion will help to loosen it.

Don’t let your legs go to sleep. Keep the blood

supply moving. Keep both feet on the floor

and lean forward

Work your wrists, arms and shoulders to get

the tension out of them. Gentle movements,

not a major workout, will remove that tension.

Repeat positive affirmations quietly to

yourself. “I am a good presenter.” It may seem

corny but it works.

Loosen the vocal chords and warm them up.

Try: Humming or tongue twisters.
