The video I watched on conquering the fear of public speaking listed three short steps to allow you to give a successful oral presentation: prepare, watch your posture and physicality, and and pander to your audience. It is imperative to prepare extensively- know your material and what points you want to get across backwards and forwards so that you are prepared no matter what. Next, your posture and physicality is important to make your audience think that you are in control and that you're calm. Maintaining a natural, not too stiff but not too loose posture along with breathing from your diaphragm will accompplish that. Lastly, pander to your audience... make them like you! Make a few jokes and stay calm and be excited, make the audience want to hear what you say!
Now, how will I incorporate this? Well to begin, I will prepare. I will practice extensively to ensure that I know exactly what points about photojournalism I want to get across to my audience- and in what order. I will hook them with a personal anecdote and go through my presentation in the desired order. I will maintain a calm demeanor, a natural posture and calm breathing. Lastly, I will make sure that I am having a good time, genuinely trying to show my audience something I really care about and am passionate about. I will maybe throw out a joke or two or in the very least remain lighthearted and just have a good time with it.
