My Concerns of Speaking out loud

So I figure since we communicate through blog for class that I would express my nervousness at this point. So on Thursday I am suppose to stand up in class and talk for 5 min about something that is informative to my peers. The only thing I can vision is the words in my head but for some reason the words are not coming out of my mouth. Also I realized that hey I talk a lot but never for 5 min straight without having someone else say something back. At this point I am extremely nervous and I have counted 789 "and ums" in my speech already. Just figured I would share with everyone else.

sincerely

If it helps any, I feel the same way! Probably 95% of us do. Good luck!

Yep, I think that most of us are pretty nervous. I waited until almost the end of my degree to take speech! I am really not looking forward to Thursday!

Dear "SpeechVille" residents,
Please don't worry too much about your "ums" and ahs for this speech.

It isn't graded. the idea is just to help you (and me) see where you are. And to give you a presentation to work on so your First Graded Speech will be well put together.



Oh but wait! I don't guess it is only the grade that might be making you nervous?

I enjoyed reading your accounts of public speaking. I do a lot of presentations and I remember how nervous I was when I started out. Good Luck in your endeavours!

Oh Honey, I can totally relate. I could talk your ear off for days but standing up in front of a crowd talking for 5 minutes seemed close to death for me. We'll all be nervous, and I'm sure we'll all be pretty awful :] so don't you worry!
