I also suck at public speaking. I had to give a presentation last monday (in a group, but i'd missed half the classes and hated the idea) and i just read off the slides as fast as i could, then stared at a point just above my tutor's shoulder. SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED.
I cannot stand public speaking. People keep saying "The more you do it, the easier it gets!" THIS IS A COMPLETE LIE, I HAVE BEEN TEACHING FOR FOUR YEARS AND I STILL HATE IT.
