    How do I make a joke when introducing myself in class?
    Community Answer
    Whatever you want to joke about is your choice, depending on your humor! However, try to avoid political, religious, or any jokes that degrade you, your classmates, or your teacher. A good one might be, “Hi! My name’s (name), and I’m here to learn...and because my parents wanted me out of the house so they could have some peace and quiet for a change! But that said, I hope our school year goes well!”.

    The main thing is that you want to face your fear and fight it. Practice often. If you are not used to talking in front of a crowd or on stage, start small by talking in front of people you know.

    Stand up confidently when it's your turn to introduce yourself and try to smile even if you're nervous. Chances are, most people in a college class haven't met you before, so if you act confident, then you'll look confident. Start with your name, mention why you're taking the class, and maybe talk about an interest or hobby that you have.

    Try having the group go around introducing each other one by one. That way, you can get a sense of how other people are introducing themselves so you can follow suit.

    It's not a bad thing to be soft-spoken. People love talking to you because you're probably a great listener. However, there are times when we need to speak at a higher volume so that others can hear what we have to say. Do your best to speak up, loud and clearly. Before you introduce yourself, take a deep breath.

    If I speak my voice trembles. In simple sentences I get scared.

    A quiver is the shaking you're describing, and it can happen when you're nervous. You're not alone, so don't worry. It affects a large number of people and is caused by poor voice placement exacerbated by nervousness. Stay calm, take a few deep breaths and tell yourself you can do it. Remember to breathe steadily through your diaphragm.

    Introduce yourself by being casual and polite. A bit of humor can help, too! Make sure to tell them a bit about yourself and maybe even ask them questions so you can learn more about them, too! It's never a bad idea to learn about the people you are teaching.
