    It’s normal for people to get nervous when they speak in public, but ‘rapid heartbeat’ and ‘fainting’ are not. I’m a certified public announcer (besides other things), and the first time I had to speak to large groups, I was very nervous. But in time, nervousness fades, if you work on it. You’re young, you’ve got a big chance. I started at 19. First, you need professional help. You’re in college, so have you taken any oratory classes? Have you taken any ‘speak in public’ lessons? Well, do it. They do wonders not only for technique but psychologicaly as well (the most important aspect). They give you a million tips like 1) practice presentations first with close friends 2) don’t look people in the eye (until you’ve mastered the art), look above their heads all the time 3) record your speeches and listen to yourself, etc. Do an internet search on ‘speaking in public’ or ‘talking to an audience,’ or get books on the subject. They do help. Most important, work on your attitude, be positive, be happy, feel good, it will show when you talk to an audience. Suerte hermana!
