Public speaking fear

[WNEWstinks]

I have to go up infront of class and do a 5 minute speech. I'm doing it on XM radio.

I'm starting to think about it too much. I'm starting to get that feeling inside that makes me second guess myself.

Any words of wisdom to help me be relaxed and get through this?

If you feel bad, remember it could be worse. You could have to type it out for everyone to read.

[jeffdwright2001]

Just picture the audience as a bunch of old women - no wait, you'll cuss them out.

Picture them as a bunch of underage girls - no wait, you'll try to date them.

Guess I don't have any ideas to help you. Maybe public speaking isn't your thing.

Have you considered being an artist?

Try to do it like Bud Dwyer did. That went over really well.

Seriously though, think about all those people watching you as you speak. Everyone is staring at you, waiting for you to screw up somehow so they can laugh at you. They want to laugh at you, they're waiting to laugh at you because they all think you're stupid.

No pressure.

Do what I do. Find something you know a lot about (which in your case, well. . .good luck) and just ramble on about it (which you should find easy) but in a funny and interesting way.

Or, save yourself the humiliation and take the F.

Bring cookies and snacks. That'll buy some votes.

Ask the audience questions, call them names and smirk and yell at them when you answer them back. Hey it worked for Bush.

Stick your dink out. They'll be laughing to hard or in seer disgust to worry about focusing on your speech.

Have your friend pull the fire alarm the exact moment you begin to speak.

Invoke the 5th amendment. And refuse to speak. Everyone loves a rebel.

thanks for the sig SatCam...and thanks for bringing it back Furie

[Reephdweller]

Start off by telling them a joke to ease the tension in the room. Maybe self depreciative humor, like how you don't know the difference between an mp3 player and an ipod, or how 15 year old girls are just as okay to date as say a 14 year old girl.

Methinks this thread was started so that we'd ask WNEW about what his 5 minute speech was all about. He's way too confident a man to be concerned with what we think.

[WNEWstinks]

The topic is XM radio.

3 things I'll talk about are;

What is XM radio (background info)

Different ways to listen (net,car,boombox,home theater)

Then the different stations (lots of o and a talk)


Any good jokes about xm or xm related jokes?

I need a good closer, a la Rich Vos.

Before you start talking...tell the people in class to give you .25 cents each. Once you collect the money, seperate them by putting the people that didn't pay in the hallway and close the door. For the people in the room, just talk about stuff uncensored and that's it. When you open the door for the other people tell them that because they didn't pay, you couldn't let them listen because they have to pay. And that's what XM is all about. You'll get an A++ definitely! and some extra change in you pocket.

Originally I thought you meant your speech would be broadcast on XM...

Anyway, if I were you, I would take it slowly and remember to look around the room and adress every... oh who am I kidding?. If I were you, I'd have killed myself years ago!

Why did XM cross the road? To get to the otherside.

Just cheat off the kids paper next to you, and pray he/she ain't holding it upside down.

I'd like to second TJs sentiments. The number two phobia is death. The numbr one phobia, whenever they ask, again and again: speaking in front of a group of people.

It's amazing how much someone can change when presented with such a challenge.

Ive had kids, big jocks even, burst into tears, run out of rooms, say 'i cant do this' and sit down, and almost Always, its the loud obnoxious ones who cant shut up in their seats who freeze up like a deer in the headlights when asked to speak in front of the class.

Five minutes? Thats an eternity.

No worries.

bigtime. I'm a studdering hump!

Mike, you are right. I have no problem talking from my seat or to friends, but something just didn't go right.

I knew what I wanted to say, but it didn't go as planed.

Oh ya, THE .25 cent joke didn't work, just uncunfy stairs.

The teacher recorded it, and I have to review it and see what I would do differently. It's labled "THE ABORSHION".

If you get drunk before your speech it's a little more fun...just make sure you're not speaking at Career Day in front of second-graders and don't wish your ex-girlfriend a bloody, mangled death 'cause even though they're small they could be used as potential witnesses in court plus kids don't need to hear that kind a' talk anyway....

Make sure after you review state that you wouldn't do anything differently. Cuz if you do, then you be admitting that you made a mistake. Stay the Course.

I almost have an anxiety attack when I have to speak in public. The past few weeks they made me the class leader by default, and it sucked. Every morning I had to form up the class with all this official military drill stuff, and I was almost shaking from nervousness. It made me look like a complete tool, and all the instructors would break my balls EVERY morning over it.
