• I would thank mirror for being a better company.
• Take deep breathe and go to the spot early.
• I practice,practice and practice.
• I put gestures with my hands in the middle and walk little bit to reduce trembling.
• I only take the short points with me than lengthy sentences.
• I don't rush or raise my pulse and I do everything gently.
• I always prepare best introduction because to create a first impression.
• I take wide look into the audience to maintain eye contact.

These all worked out little by little by making me a spontaneous speaker and I was unable to chase stage fear but I managed to work with it.

What will you do to overcome stage phobia?

In my POV just go and grab the mic. As you take on the stage every time. The stage fear will be reduced. That's what happened to me.
