Article: This will make you appear more confident and will help you speak more clearly than if you were to stay seated. It may feel awkward to stand up, but your introduction will be over more quickly than you think. If you are sitting in the middle of the room, you may want to turn your head from side to side occasionally as you speak so you can address the entire class. Even if you are super nervous, smiling will make your voice sound calmer and will help you mask that nervousness. It also shows your classmates and your teacher that you are friendly and approachable. Also, smiling stimulates the production of endorphins, so you are helping yourself to feel a little happier, too! Scientific studies have shown that making yourself smile when publicly speaking endears others to you as they naturally will want to smile back. Chances are that even if your voice is shaky, others won't notice that. You want everyone to be able to hear you, so when you introduce yourself, do so in a clear, loud voice. Don't mumble or stare down at the ground. It's perfectly okay to be nervouslots of people are when speaking in front of others! But if you can take a steadying breath and project confidence, you'll be through your introduction before you know it. Try practicing your introduction in a mirror to prepare yourself beforehand. A lot of the people in your class will be thinking about what they are going to say when it's their turn and may not even be watching you the entire time you're speaking. It's helpful to give your first name, pause, and then give your first and last name, like "Hello, my name is June, June Thompson." The repetition makes it more likely that others will remember your name. If you prefer to go by a nickname, this is the time to give that detail. Say something like, "Hi, my name is Marcella, Marcella Smith, but you can call me 'Marcie.'" If you're in a college course, you can share your intended major. Or if you're taking a class for a certification for a job, you could share what it is you do for work. For example, you could say, "Hi, I'm Mark, Mark Palmer. I'm an Economics major, and this class is helping me get a certification I need to graduate." If you are only in the class because you have to be (like a general education course that all students are required to take), you don't need to say thatchances are a lot of other people are in the same boat. If you are involved in sports or have pets or like to travel, the end of your introduction is a good place to give this information. You could say something like, "When I'm not studying, I like to train for and run in half-marathons." This gives your classmates and teacher a memorable activity to tie to your name. Avoid sharing overly personal details, like if you're going through a divorce or recently lost your job. Try to keep things positive and upbeatyou don't want your first impression to be negative or make other people uncomfortable.

Mix together 2 cups (470ml) of corn syrup and 1 cup (240ml) of warm water in a large mixing bowl. Pour in 10 teaspoons (49ml) of red food coloring and a few drops each of blue and yellow coloring. Stir in 1 tablespoon (7.5 g) of cornstarch at a time until it's thoroughly mixed, and keep adding it until there are 10 tablespoons (75 g) in your mixture. This style of fake blood is somewhat sticky so it will stay in place when you apply it, but it won't run as easily. Try adding cocoa powder if you want your fake blood to look darker. Use less cornstarch if you want the fake blood to flow easier. This recipe is edible so you can apply it in or around someone's mouth. Pour 10 teaspoons (49ml) of red food coloring and 1 cup (240ml) of light corn syrup in a mixing bowl. Combine the corn syrup with 1-2 heading spoonfuls of creamy peanut butter and stir the mixture together until it's thoroughly mixed. Apply the fake blood by hand and rub it on a surface to make it look like it's coated in a thin layer of blood. If you want to make the blood look like it's dried up or scab-like, try using chunky peanut butter instead. Keep in mind that it may be harder to work with and apply. This fake blood is edible so it's safe to use near someone's mouth. Pour your fake blood mixture into small syringe or dropper bottle so you can easily apply it. Squeeze the bottle or depress the syringe slightly so a small amount of blood comes out. Let the fake blood drip down the surface you're applying it to so it looks realistic when it's on camera. Be careful not to get the fake blood in anyone's eyes since it could cause irritation. You can apply fake blood in and around a person's mouth if you need to as long as you're using an edible recipe. Dip the corner of a scouring pad or sponge in your fake blood and dab it onto the surface you're applying it to. You can either lift and dab the blood to apply it in a pattern or you can wipe the blood across a surface to make smears. Try a few different techniques on the surface to see what works best when you apply it. Test different applicators to see what textures they make with the fake blood. For example, a steel wool pad will cause the blood to bead up while wiping it with a sponge will look flatter. Attach a syringe to the end of a thin plastic tube and fill the syringe with your fake blood. Put the other end of the tube next to where you want the blood to spray so it's off camera, and tape it in place. During your shot, have a person off-camera press down on the syringe slowly so the blood squirts out of the tube. This method works great to simulate blood squirting out of a pulsing wound. This may not work if your fake blood has a thicker consistency. Pour your fake blood into an empty spray bottle and make sure the nozzle is on. Pull the handle on your spray bottle to create a mist of blood that spatters on the surface you're applying it to. Apply as much or as little fake blood with the spray bottle as you need to for the scene you're shooting. You won't be able to spray fake blood that has a thick consistency.
