Okay...um...I am NOT one of those people who excels at public speaking. In fact, I plain ole suck. I get nervous...I freak...I have anxiety attacks (well, not literally) beforehand. There is absolutely NOTHING worse (atm) than waiting around to give a presentation or speech. For God's sake just let it be at the beginning of the day...first class...over and done. But NOOOOO...it has to be at 7 at friggin' night! Effectively forcing me to wait around for it. THREE HOURS?! I have to freak for THREE MORE HOURS?! Urg. Ah well. At least after this my life will return to normal (boring). |

So...the class is supposed to start @ 7:30 PM and I pretty much start the thing by presenting... Well, it's now 7 PM, and I just got an e-mail saying he'll be delayed half an hour. CHRIST MAN!

My tip for overcoming your fear of public speaking: take every opportunity you can to speak in public. Sounds simple, perhaps even dumb, but it has more or less worked for me; in the last couple of years I have given numerous speeches, one to a crowd of 2000+ people; I have em'cd/hosted events for hundreds, and for the last two years, I have very briefly taken the stage at SF Pride to address the crowd - a crowd of oh, I dunno...500,000 or so (though I doubt more than 50,000-100,000 can actually see the mainstage and hear what we are saying up there, and of those, I would say, like 5, including my parents, were really paying attention - the rest are probably just tolerating us speach-a-fiers so they can hear the bands play afterwards). And all this started in college when I decided I did not like being afraid to speak in class anymore, so I started doing it when I could and just biting the bullet. I also got a LOT of practice in law school by joining the Moot Court teams - undergraduate colleges offer debate teams, which would provide similar experience I would imagine. Having said all that, I still get nervous before I speak. Such is life. |

I've found that speaking (or singing) in front of multitudes is nowhere near as nerve wracking as speaking in front of about 20 people. I like the big crowd. |
