Pretend no-one is there. Or pretend you know you are smarter than every single person there. Speak slowly, don't be too quiet and smile! I had this problem, but I just pretended no-one was there and it was easy! Hope this helped! happy Good luck x

I had the same problem and when I was in student council in high school, I had to talk in front of the entire school. First, I practiced what I was going to say in front of smaller groups (like friends and family and in my home room class) then I asked for advice. Each time someone said it was good, it built up my confidence. When I received critisizm, I accepted it and tried again. By the time I did my last practice, no one gave any feedback and they all said that I was great. So I felt totally prepared to talk in front of the whole school! Now I have no problems getting in front of a large crowd. Just talk slowly and stay focused!
