this semester in school i have public speaking. i dont like speaking in public that much. i can get pretty nervous, but its only when i have to talk. everything else i am fine with. anyone got any advice for me on what i should do? i really need some.
When I had to take it.. Just be yourself .. your shy be shy but still try to put a couple fo jokes int here and don't try to hide your freaking out .. Just remember .. it's just a class Haha I turn bright red when I had to take it and you get over it , it acctully helps alot
i think its just something you have to get used to doing. i felt shy doing it at first, but then i got used to it. i just pretend that no one is there at all.
I feel ya on this one; I always hated public speaking. For me it was more of a fear of sounding ignorant. I found that as long as I had the information I needed on whatever topic it was, I wasn't so afraid. Almost everyone is afraid of public speaking, especially in highschool/college, so you're totally not alone. I'm sure a good hunk of the rest of the class is just as, if not even more afraid than you are. Just remember to breath Peace, Goo
I once read dr.seuss to my class (this year (8th grade))(were having a subject on equality, and i insisted i read the book, well anyways i just pretended i was reading it to myself, aloud. so try that
woah pauly! but anyway.we have one of those classes too.i used to get really shy but once i get up it's just like whatever.the sooner i finish this the sooner im done.and if you think about no one really cares what you are saying.they probably are thinking the same you are.too busy worrying about their turn.
i dread doing this. i swear i almost fainted just thinking about it. my heart starts pounding reallyfast. i'm in college and some of myclasses are just sitting there and taking notes. but some teachers ask questions. call on people. i dislike that quite a bit. and presentations. i just. dont like when all the attentions on me. im not bad with small group talking.
ohhh godddd i HATE that shit! i gotta take one soon too and am dreading it. i hate normal classes and bunk that shit all the time so it's bad enuff. but yeah public speaking sucks balls if you don't know your shit. so just KNOW your shit, smile, it helps, be concise, quick and witty and you'll be fine.
I dont mean to be self obsessed turd...........but once you cant go to school and you think your going insane and your goign to became out of control adn kill yourself even though you want to stay alive.....................then come to YH with your anxiety problems lol
I had to take a public speaking class my junior year and i thought i would hate the class, but i loved it. I hated talking in front of people, i still do but its not that bad. Public speaking classes are fun though because you get to watch other people get up there and talk about nothing. I think the class is easier if you talk about something that makes your audience laugh. For one of my speeches i talked about why Green is better that blue. It made every body giggle just because there is not much you can say about that topic. Just try to make the class laugh. but not to much
Talk about what you want it makes it way easier. I gave a speech over the toilet and as visual aid i had parts of a toilet. even better I gave a speech over the "Homophily Hypothisis" the judges said i should go for the nobel peace prize. I got disqualifide in that compatition for missing the freaking oreintation. got 203 though. Ive got some of my old speecheslaying around if you want help
Yeah this sucks but no matter what you do you will still experience the rapid heartrate thing. If I even speak to a group of about 20 best friends I still feel alittle nervous. I say just get it over with heh.
