One technique to reduce anxiety when public speaking is to practice the presentation beforehand. This can help you become more comfortable with the material and make you more confident when the presentation happens. You can also consider deep breathing and visualization techniques to help reduce anxiety. Additionally, try to focus on the positive aspects of public speaking, such as giving valuable information to those who are attending. Finally, remember that everyone experiences some level of anxiety when speaking in public, so it is okay to not feel perfect.
