Patricia Sturla tells you what to do to make your fifteenth birthday toast a success.

The day you've been waiting for has finally arrived, but you feel nervous about something specific: your fifteenth birthday toast.

Has the thought of speaking in front of your guests kept you up at night? Are you afraid of going completely silent when that moment arrives? Take a deep breath! Patricia Sturla, creator of Patricia Sturla Studios, has come to help you.

The model shares her best tips for successfully captivating the attention of your guests.

In addition to ensuring a successful toast, the following tips will help you in other situations where you have to speak in public:

1. Be yourself

The essence of your personality is unique; no one else has it, and that's what the audience wants to see. You will be the one who remains in people's minds at the end of the day. Don't try to act like someone else; just be yourself.

2. Focus

Remember that feelings are internal, and the audience doesn't need to know them. Don't verbally convey that you're nervous. On the contrary, look the audience in the eyes. If you fix your gaze on those listening to you, they will stop paying attention to any potential mistakes and will focus on your words.

3. Stay calm

Nervousness stems from the desire to perform well and have a successful presentation. It's about the desire for approval and the fear of ridicule. Being nervous is super normal. Once you accept this, focus on how it manifests, whether it's changes in your voice, trembling hands, spots on your body, or many other things, to know how to control them and handle the situation.

4. Rehearse

No matter how long or short your fifteenth birthday toast is, one of the easiest ways to control your nerves when standing in front of your guests is to rehearse. After all, practice makes perfect!
