Weekend Poll: Publicly Speaking
So, are you good at speaking in public? Or does your mouth feel like it's full of peanut butter and you trip over your words? When was the last time you had to talk in front of an audience and how did it go?

1 RispondiLast time was for our gcse English speaking exam (I don't think it counts for anything though) in front of the class, i got a distinction, but nearly died inside.

2 RisposteModificato da Zeldasavvy64: 4/14/2019 8:16:38 AMDepends. I like to throw a little comedy into presentations to make myself a little less nervous. If people laugh, I'll do fine, but if not, I'll fall apart.
-
2 RisposteNope. I get shaky when I'm just out with friends. I am very the opposite of good with people.
-
1 RispondiWhy speak in public anyways
-
1 RispondiI like it. I tend to curb any nervousness I have by only establishing a couple of points I want to hit and improvising the rest.
-
2 RisposteI flip-flop from great to ruined by anxiety. There's isn't really a rhyme or reason for it; I can give knock your socks off one day, then give the same speech the next day and I can barely speak straight.
-
1 RispondiHell yeah weekend poll by the one and only! I love public speaking. My mind is constantly brimming with ideas, and most people are super bored and expect nothing of you, so the freedom to speak however you want is literally yours for the taking. [i]So I take it.[/i]
-
1 RispondiI'm really really good at it. The issue is that I have really bad anxiety (not quite disorder but close enough to need therapy), so I rarely am willing to put myself out there. Once I'm on a roll though I blow people away with how well I can convey a message.
-
3 RisposteI dropped out of college because of my fear of public speaking.
-
2 RisposteNope. I do just fine in small groups but not big groups. I even have trouble when I’m talking to a friend and someone that knows them more than me joins the conversation(which usually ends my part of the conversation unless it’s something I know a lot about )
-
1 RispondiI don't enjoy it, but I can do it no problem. The trick I find us not to over prepare. Have points I want to hit rather than a script I try to memorize.
-
1 RispondiI hate crowds. I’m afraid of messing up my speech and voice cracks.
-
1 RispondiI [i]could[/i] speak to a crowd, but I'd be petrified over it for weeks beforehand and really rather not. But once up there, I could speak, even though it would probably kill me.
-
2 RisposteI will yell at the crowd from the comfort of my cruiser with a megaphone.
-
2 RisposteI spoke before thousands of people several times, no problem.
-
2 RisposteI absolutely hate public speaking. It’s my least favorite thing to do.
-
1 RispondiI have a hard enough time speaking to one person that I know, let alone to a group of mostly strangers.
-
2 RispostePerfectly balanced
-
4 Risposte[quote]I was born to be a public speaker. It's my passion. [/quote] ^Wyoming
-
2 RisposteFor the most part I can
