    And I agree that Cate totally has a radio voice - that's the first thing I thought when I heard her - that or airport voice

    I have terrible nerves. Getting in front of an audience terrifies me, but to my own surprise I can crack people up and command the attention span of everyone in the room and as soon as I discover this I come into my own. Oral presentations at School and Uni were always my strength. I also do well at parties. In fact I am horrible at face to face conversation but I am a great big attention whore when it comes to groups. One day I will be like Stalin.

    Cate, you should tell me to stay clear of the closing doors every morning. I'd like that.

    My ex and I always used to have to used phone cards to call each other, and it was always freaky when the voice would interject and say 'you have one minute left on your phoencard'. So every once and awhile I do that to shock him hahaha.

    Yes, very good. I was asked to be on the speech and debate team in college multiple times, but opted to smoke weed and play video games with my weekends.

    A college speech and debate team where people attend on the weekends?

    No thanks. I can see why you opted out.

    No I'm not a good public speaker, so I save my opinions for the internet.

    if i am enjoying the speech i write, then i think i'm decent enough of a public speaker.

    i gave a speech on how to be a ghost at my school. ghost is synonymous with "shitbag"
    that was incredibly fun

    I am not a good public speaker, but I am a good public entertainer.
    Best crowds I had were in Myanmar where at several occasions at least 50 people surrounded me whilst I was doing some really simple card tricks.

    Sadly, it only works with Asians and Africans. Western people are hard to impress.
