Ive been nominated for an award tonight and expected to give some kinda speech .. Im not bothered by it as i actually did 'public speaking' at school and gave several presentations.
For some though the though of speaking to a crowd of people would be petrifying.
Are you confident with it or dread it? |

In my line of work it's pretty much a daily necessity. It's never really phased me, though I do hate it when I'm given three minutes notice and have to wing it. |

Congrats.
Im one of those that dread it, even through school and higher education i hated it. For a final assessment in my degree after 6 months of research i had to give a 20 minute presentation (which doesnt sound alot). I stood outside just before mine having a quick practice....and completely blanked on what id even done my research on  |

"I'm so horrible at public speaking. I get incredibly nervous. Sometimes I take beta-blockers and they hide some of the nerves. "
The Dr gave me those before i took my driving test.. :D |

People can actually see me shaking if i have to speak infront of a crowd. Its terrible. Wish i was more confident in those situations |

I have multiple butterflies at thought of public speaking, I hate doing it & flush bright red. The more I try to stop it the worse I become.
Funny because I'm quite happy to do other things in public, like sing or am dram. |

perhaps its the pressure,, with singing or acting these are things we choose to do through free will
with a presentation of some kind there is often a motive and purpose behind it with a need to impress |

Public speaking isn't my favourite thing to do, and it does make me nervous beforehand, but I'm generally ok once I start. I've had to do it a few times in various capacities. I usually have to try and make sure I don't start babbling on and stick to what I need to say  |

As long as you stick to the script and avoid thanking everyone including primary school teachers speeches are ok,no one likes a waffler so wtf do people do it? Keep it brief+to the point.
Something like...Hi everybody,cheers for the award..Bye |

Awesome news!
I love the sound of my own voice and I'm pretty confident. Public speaking isn't an issue at all. Getting me to stop is the difficult part. |

Used to be in a rock band and played guitar on open mic nights as well, So had to sing in front of a room full of people!! Initially my heart would be racing and I'd be all nervous, But when your up there all you can see is a giant spotlight and shadows behind it, Plus we were so loud I could barely hear myself think let alone hear the crowd. So I suppose sometimes it's the fear before hand than actually doing it, Well it was in my case. |

Yes I agree.
Also with singing I'm not really playing me if that makes sense. |
