That information is not your own and is from a different source. You need to put it in a quote Quote:

Don't suck.
And that's my advice! :D |

Please edit your post and put it in quotes. I'm pretty sure a moderator will be along if you don't. Copy/pastes usually aren't permitted as it's (usually) a sneaky way some members try to make gold.

I don’t have a fear of public speaking. I actually like speaking to large audiences, especially over a radio. The way I see it is that if people are willing to listen to you, give them something to be interested in. For my radio shows I’d always do gossip segments and things like that that I really didn’t care about, but my listeners would care about. I never really got too nervous in front of a live audience because I didn’t really care if I messed up or not. You can always correct yourself and if not then I just laugh at myself. I tend not to worry about many things.

I actually used to get nervous and shy when it comes to public speaking.
I took Drama classes and fell in love with it. Now, i'm not afraid to speak infront of an audience, i find it kinda fun. ^^ I just act as if it was a normal conversation that i was having and look at the audience that way. It not only makes myself feel comfortable, but the audience doesn't feel too akward either and makes them want to listen. |
I have a huge fear of public speaking, which is ironic because I got an A in my Speech and Debate class. I lost my one and only debate though. -.-;
|
I've got nothing against speaking in public--except that I tend to forget what I'm going to say. Even if I don't forget everything, I forget something important. Then I want to go back like ten minutes later to correct myself. XD
|
My personal advice is, have notes written on a notecard or a visual aid that helps your audience follow along and helps YOU remember what exactly you're doing. I would also suggest practicing, or at least running over your speech in your head a few times. And my teacher says that saying tongue twisters to loosen your tongue and taking deep breathes helps.
|
XD Whenever I try that, I still forget one or two things. Nothing essential, just something useful (and if it's useful enough that I'd want to bring it up, then it's really a good idea for me to try and remember it). But short of writing everything out in advance, I forget SOMETHING...... Sometimes I forget it when I'm prepping. Oh well. Lucky for me, I rarely speak in public.
|
I rarely speak in public as well. According to my teacher, a large problem is mine is that I talk too fast, since I'm very nervous and I want to get the entire thing over with. Once, during the trimester, I lost my place while reading a speech aloud for my classmates. That was an embarrassing moment, even though our teacher said that our classmates wouldn't mind. x.x;
|
Yeah... I've been told that I talk too fast; I'm usually moving much faster in my head, though; I'm just trying to keep up. Sorry about losing your place, though.
|
Here's my tip. Get over it! I know I sound so crass! But you're used to speaking in front of people anyway. It's no different speaking in the street or standing on a stage with floodlights on you. Just be confident. If we hated you you wouldn't be there.
|
My advice would be to just relax and no matter what happens, just keep going. If you're in a classroom setting, just think that all of the other students are just as nervous as you are, nobody wants to see you fail! They're probably all too busy worrying about how they did, or that they will have to do their own soon.
I had a screenwriting class once, where I spent 5 months writing this screenplay. At the end of the class, we had to pitch our script as if the class were producers. Halfway through describing the plot, I completely blanked about what happens in the entire second half of the script :shock: It was embarrassing, but after about 30 (very long) seconds, I remembered and got through it. I always tell myself that whatever happens, it probably won't ever be as bad as that again! |
hmmm. I think that it is all up to the people. but we need no complaint

I sux. I have an immense fear of public speaking, even if I'm just saying an answer to the homework... Which is probably why I can't do anything right in drama class... ugh... BUT, I think I'd do well in debate because I really want to be a lawyer, because there is no fear if I'm saying what I believe is right. Then again, I love the internet so much because I don't have to 'speak' in front of people. ^ ^; |
Picture the audience Naked.
(: |
thanx everybody!! ^_^
Some of the advice are great!!! Well it's true that when we give the first try we will be shy and everything but then you will see it really suck!! I just wanted to talk of this term cause I have a freind that it's going to participate in a talent show and he dosen't know how he's going to talk afront to the public soo I just wanted some advice!!! Hope you can help!!! ^_^ |
I think I would rather die then speak in public. I agreed to give a speech at me sister's wedding and I was shaking the whole time and it was the shortest speech. Everyone loved it though @[email protected]

Everybody was staring at me!! I was scared!! LOL!!! Well now I use to it, but sometimes I get nervous!! ^_^ |
Yeah, I'm taking a public speaking class now... It is difficult because I get super nervous talking in a formal manner in front of people. It is not as easy as just telling yourself to calm down and I think a lot of people don't understand that. But my text book for public speaking has some good tips. (I'll probably post them later when I have more time)

Egh. I hate public speaking. The weird thing is though, I'm always more nervous AFTER I finish. I'm the least nervous when I'm actually doing it. Usually I'm so pumped full of adrenalin when I'm doing things like public speaking that I forget to be nervous. :lol: But sometimes when there's like that...awkward pause, I remember what I'm doing and get nervous again. That's usually the worse. =S But whenever I finish the reality sets back in and the adrenalin goes away and then I start shaking like crazy.
I guess that's all normal though. |
