Practice what you plan to say (sounds crazy) with yourself, your friends have them play along like they are an interviewer and take video with your phone and a phoney mike and everything. It will be fun, you will be "learning your lines", and you can put the fake interview on youTube and laugh about it. Speak up and never say the words like or you know and um. Practice, practice , practice. You wont be sorry if you do, but you may be sorry if you dont!
dont look at the camera and just think to yourself that with all the bad things happening in this world this nervousness is nothing.
Piss your pants. It makes you feel warm inside.
tomorrow i will be interviewed with the news so ill be on camera and i think its live. i will be representing my high school pretty much and im super nervous because i am shy and find it hard to speak directly and clearly under pressure. are there any tips you guys have for me on how to act and speak? please i am desperate im so scared i will embarass myself! also any hair and makeup tips when your on camera so i can have some kind of confidence in my appearance at least. thank you so much! :)
oh yeah and it doesnt help that my dad told me he "was embarassed by how quietly i spoke last time i was interviewed for something." ;/
