I have to give a talk tomorow on my research in front of 80 people. It's only a 15 min talk, but I've never talked in front of such a large crowd before. Oh, and the best part is that my advisor can't see my talk because he has to teach. He blamed me for not checking in with him on the time of the talk. Um hello, I've been busy not only preparing the talk, but also helping set up the meeting where I'm giving the talk. Grrrrrrrrrr.

I thought of that. But just remember...these are scientists, mostly people who don't work out. Some who are getting on in their years. I don't think that picturing this group naked will bring a smile to my face.

Re: I'm nervous...
Thanks girls! I find that if I slow down when I talk, I'm fine. I'm not so nervous about the actual speaking in front of people as I am about presenting my data...it's my first project and my results are interesting but not all that huge.

I agree....if you breathe you will slow yourself down, I always had that problem of talking too fast when I get nervous! you are going to do fine, its just getting over that feeling you get right before you go up!!!

Yes, practicing breathing will help you. Practice a few minutes everyday and it will help you focus. Just keep in mind that 99% of the people there listening to you couldn't do what you are doing and if they had to, they would be dying inside.

Good Luck Beth! You'll do great just remember to speak steadily. With public speaking when people get nervous they tend to talk really quick. Focus on your breathing.

Good luck! 80 people is a small crowd, you shouldn't worry too much. You worked hard, you know your material, and you will present in a professional manner as long as you remember to BREATHE!

Yeah, I hate when I have to present in front of lots of people. The largest group I've ever spoken in front of was @ 20. 80 Yikes!!!!
