Guys, I Need Some Help

Alright, my teachers chose me to be the stupid narrator in our school Christmas play, but I don't want to do it. I have to memorize a lot of paragraphs (around 4) and read it to the audience. However, I'm really shy. And I'm 100% positive that even if I do manage to memorize the thing, i'll get nervous and forget my lines. Any suggestions to ease my pain? 🙁

memorize

I think that if they chose you they must be sure you're capable of doing it
so I wouldn't worry just do it ✅
I'm sure you'll have great fun 😊

You don't get it. I don't WANT to do it. I'll mess up. 😬

You just need more confidence.

Get some practice... (not sure how exactly)

not with me.

should i just lie and pretend i can't memorize my lines. that way, they might ask me to read it instead.

Lying is never a sollution.....
You can ask if you can read them, so you're sure you won't forget anything.

and it is possible with everyone.

What do you care about them? Those are mostly random unknown people, right?

Practice. The more you give a talk, the more automatic it becomes, and the more confidence you have in your abilities to perform. If you can' t find someone to listen, practice in front of a mirror.
Bring along a "safety net" in case something goes wrong. It reduces you anxiety about forgetting what you were going to say or having your mind go blank. You may never even use the cards, but the fact that you have them can greatly reduce the butterflies.

I'll ask for cue cards or something.
