How comfortable are you with public speaking?
Public speaking is a pretty common fear, but how do you feel about it?
Have you ever done it? If so, what's the biggest crowd you've ever spoken in front of?

I used to be fine with it at school, now not so much. Once you start speaking though your fear seems to vanish, its the build up I hate. I was once asked a bunch of questions on the jumbo tron during a half time show at an (american) football game. I was about 13 though so I thought it was awesome.

I enjoy it. I run music events so in a sense I'm use to it. Biggest crowd I've spoke in front of was about 800 people. It's more a sense of the more you do it, you'll slowly overcome it. In high school, speech was one of my favorite classes actually.

Honestly, I love public speaking. I get the whole butterflies, and nervousness, anxiety - everything. But, I feel as though I know how to connect with any audience on any subject because of the way I speak. I can brush things / mistakes off easily and give the audience something to laugh at. I can be serious, and I can get points across. I am a more dominant personality, but I'm also passive, so I can lead - while listening. I also supervise 2 coworkers, and 28 students, so it just comes naturally. I've always been the type to break the ice, or help others become more comfortable with the area around them when they are uncomfortable. I think it all ties into the ability to publicly speak.

1 回复I hate public speaking. The weird thing is that people tell me I'm good at it. I don't see it, though.

由VIC编辑： 3/19/2013 6:19:46 PMNever had a problem with it. Biggest crowd? Probably a couple hundred. I'll have an incredibly easy time if the subject is something I know about; if it's something I don't know much about...well, I can bullshit with the best of 'em.

1 回复Never had a problem with it. Though I am curious to try the now-famous "slack armed pose" that is capable of riveting millions. I tend to use my hands, bent elbows and all of that. But if Marty has deemed "slack arms" to be cool... gotta go with the trend. The last time I spoke in front of an audience, it was a couple hundred or so healthcare and IT professionals. The projecting system broke and my presentation was pretty data-loaded, so I couldn't just "talk and wave my arms trying to describe the documents that weren't showing". So, we paused for "water and bio-break" while the host's "tech guy" tried to get the projector back on line. I didn't realize it, but I started humming and my lapel mic picked up what I thought that I was humming to myself. It's a odd habit of mine, when technology doesn't work, I tend to hum the song as a way of verbally "twiddling my thumbs", and watching this poor guy trying to fix this, I didn't even know that I was doing it. As soon as I realized that I was being heard by the audience, I was mortified and stopped. What was amazing/funny is that a few members of the audience were singing along, and so I rejoined and we finished the song to a round of laughter and applause. It was REALLY weird. The song above is was I hum when I am working/waiting on technology to "get with the program".

K this is me in public speaking! As I get closer my heart beats faster and I become more scared...then when I do it. I think to myself who cares might as well... I go to perform with my normal lazy look...perform then finish. I'm a lazy guy but I can be motivated to do something if I wanna and public speaking is one of them... Highest crowd: 500
