I NEED to overcome fright of public speaking - FAST.?

Travis has some very good points. At one time I had the same problem and then I took speech cles. What they taught was Preparation and practice. Prepare by outlining what you are going to say and making note cards. Practice in front of friends or at least one person. Use the notes during the practice and revise them as necessary. Practice making eye contact with your audience. Pick out someone in the audience and speak to them, then shift to another and do the same. Getting your eyes off the floor or ceiling and speaking to A person makes it more like a conversation with a friend. But, the biggest cause of panic in front of an audience is lack of preparation. Really put a lot of effort into prep and practice. You'll be surprised, afterwards, how easy it becomes with practice. Good luck for a great future.
