presentation tomorrow :(

really incredibly nervous.. i just practiced in front of my friend who said i sounded like i was not speaking english, mumbling words, didn't make sense.. and then i did it in front of my dad who said i need to speak louder and i sound depressing. It's tomorrow i think my voice is just genetically lower and idk what to do.... it will be in front of 30 ppl in a college setting with a professor who points out everything that is wrong. I wish someone else could be me tomorrow. about to cry but not really just want to. it's impossible for anyone to hear me when theyre on the other side of the room, i need a microphone badly

ouch....man i really wish i had some constructive advice, but honestly crab i know exactly how you feel, i have the same problem!!!! very annoying. While your friend and dad may have meant well, what is in their eyes, constructive criticism, really doesnt help us much.

I feel for you. Keep us posted on how it goes.

Whenever I had to do a presentation like this, I would play a role when doing the presentation. I couldn´t be "myself", because in such a situation I get so nervous that I don´t know where to put my hands, where to look, and so on. So I would behave like some fictive caracter, or a real person, imitationg their bodylanguage.
Maybe it seems weird... but this is the thing that helped me.

Take 40 mg of propranolol one hour before your presentation. It will help calm you
down a lot. You're not supposed to take it everyday, just before you have a presentation or speaking event.
