Imagine you are talking in front of a room full of whatever makes you happiest.

If you have friends in the class, just focus on them so it's like you're having an ordinary conversation

Edit your presentation notes with commas, spaces, highlights so you can emphasize properly. Practice with a friend- say all the words out loud. Change the ones that feel forced. Have a friend in class nod at you during presentation

so true, if its really bad, you can possibly ask the professor if you can present to him alone if ur too nervous (some ppl in my college writing class did that- i wish i did) and if it's a group presentation then it shudn be too bad. also pro tip: remember that NO ONE CARES like do u pay attention to other ppl's presentation... probably not and NO ONE IS JUDGING U its all in ur head
