This is something that is very difficult for me to do when I'm nervous, so I really hope I can solve this problem before my next speech. Eye contact is a very difficult skill to master when you are nervous. It's also been difficult for me to practice my eye contact skills because I don't have an audience to perform in front of when I'm at home. When I practice my speech, I usually read it to myself or to someone I feel comfortable with. This helps me perform my speech better overall, but it doesn't help improve my eye contact skills because I usually don't have eye contact problems with people I feel comfortable speaking to. Eye contact is a great skill to have because it shows your audience that you are dominant and less nervous. It also shows that you know your topic and are not afraid to share information with everyone. I hope I can improve this somewhat in my next one
