What are some tips you would have for someone to help them maintain good eye contact with an audience?

When I am speaking to a large group at a meeting, I know it is important to have good eye contact, but when I actually look the people in the eye, it makes me very nervous. So, what I do is just look beyond them, sort of just over the tops of their heads. That way they think you are looking at them because you are looking in their general direction, but you are not focused on one person in particular. They don't notice, because they just think you are looking at sometome else.What are some tips you would have for someone to help them maintain good eye contact with an audience?
When I'm speaking to an audience I always begin by looking just over the top of the heads of the people in the back row, scanning side to side. It helps me feel more comfortable. I continue to do that most of the time but throw in spots of talking specifically to a random person I pick out. Scan the top of the heads, pick a person, pick a person, scan, pick a person, etc, etc.





If you notice anyone who is really interested, nodding their head, etc they are a good one to keep focusing on. Stay away from anyone who seems to be falling asleep, it will just distract you.What are some tips you would have for someone to help them maintain good eye contact with an audience?
Stand straight up and don't try to zone in on just one person, keep looking around the room and stop every couple of seconds and smile and let what you say really sink in. Try your hardest not to figet or say UMMMM or repeat something over and over. Walk around a bit but not too much--just try to connect and keep your audience focused. You'll do great!! Make sure you know your stuff and be confident! I have faith in you!!!
I look over their heads... But as the writer above is correct also.





Keep scanning the room ....
Pick three key people in different parts of the audience. Scan back and forth between those three and people will get the illusion you are looking all around the room.





By picking the same three you won't risk being distracted if you suddenly look at someone new and they do something to catch you off guard.
