How do you give presentations? I get up in front of even a small audience and I get light headed and my mind goes blank its really embarrassing. I want to become an accountant but know ill probably have to give presentations. So how do I do it?
How prepared are you for it? Do you practice in the mirror or in front of a couple of friends?
>inb4 I don't have any friends
Confidence.
Are you insecure in anyway? Are you overweight? Go to the gym. Are you socially awkward? Meet new people. It's all about confidence. Even shooting a gun can give you confidence. Go to a boxing gym and learn how to fight. Confidence bro. All about confidence.

yeah I don't really have friends but I practice and put it on note cards and my voice gets all shaky. I like stay up all night before speaking practicing.
Is this just a bad idea as a career for me?

Speak in front of a mirror. Present in front of your family or friends.
Practise makes perfect. Eventually, it won't seem like such a big deal.
My trump card is writing out the physical script in front of me, so you don't go off on any awkward tangents and you can always be sure of what it is exactly that you're saying. If you can memorise it, all's the better.

Do it sooner than the night before. Also start public speaking off small, like asking or answering questions in class. Joining toastmasters might also help

I even have trouble answering questions in class.

That's why I said to start off with that. It shouldn't be as daunting as giving a presentation
