Can you speak in front of large groups?
Title for reference.
So today at uni we had our first tutorials for the semester. I can't talk to groups of people all that well, and so was really nervous. Like, I could feel my body temperature rising every second I was in front of everyone. Anyway, I'm reading a text for everyone and half way through the paragraph I see:
[Quote]Their social inden-
[b]tities[/b]... [/quote]
And then I just burst out laughing because it looks like the word "titties". It's not even funny! And it wasn't even a short chuckle, I'm talking about a nervous fuelled laughing fit where I just couldn't hold it in.
So god damn embarrassing.

I can when I'm drunk apparently

Edited by Edmi Wohusee: 9/9/2013 9:44:58 PMYes. I've had to speak in front of 1,000+ people multiple times about worldly issues. Going to again within the next couple months.
-
Yeah, I can, it's easy
-
Yeah. Can I do so well? Not sober. I had to do a presentation for an undergrad research conference and when It came my time to speak, I started to wish I'd have taken a shot or two of Jack before I took the stage. Damned caffeine.
-
Had to do it a lot of times, I find it relative easy nowadays. That being said if something starts me of laughing well that's it it all goes a bit t*ts up.

1 ReplyNever more than a little nervousness. Nothing too bad though. It goes away right after I start.
-
I do this all the time, but I find it hilarious....
-
Last year at this time, no. Right now, I can nail it. I did a 30 minute presentation for a final for my English class and ended up with an A.
-
I can do it fairly well now. I used to have a huge problem speaking in front of people, but my job has conditioned me to be able to manage. I still really do not like speaking in front of groups. I still get incredibly nervous, but I'm better at dealing with it now.
-
I can public speak, but my voice drops into a monotone.
-
It's the same as talking to one person. Your brain is just panicking. Happens to everyone

2 RepliesI had to speak in front of 240 people and was notified that I was going to do so 3 minutes before I actually did. When in doubt, make them laugh and while they are laughing, brainstorm some shit to say.

Edited by risay_117: 9/9/2013 2:38:11 PMYeah but when i get up i usually tell myself. "-blam!- it". And immediately get on with the presentation. What's worse is once in highschool we needed to rewrite a song to make it relevent to chemistry. I hated the first one and unable to get the second song to have a recording i just went right up to the fron and just sang the whole song. But must say once i started i hit the lowest level of shame but by then i did not care and just carried on.

It depends on what I'm talking about.
-
I shake uncontrollably, and unless it's in a situation where people could really use the boost, I'll fumble. I prefer small groups, or one on one.

Edited by A 3 Legged Goat: 9/3/2013 9:22:08 PMThe only thing I used to have trouble with was eye contact. Instead of looking at different parts of the audience, I'd just make a blank stare. Then somebody told me all you had to do was picture everyone naked. Now I'm a pro :D
-
I haven't done it since high school, which was a little over 4 years ago now, but I never had much of a problem with it if I was interested and well educated in what I was talking about. It's funny looking back on it because I remember some of the boldest and talkative people in my class, really sweat it out up there for whatever reason.
-
1 ReplyI can, I'm just not very good at it.
-
Im usually nervous before. But once im up there, and I know what im going to talk about im like "Whatever, cant go back" and I just do it.
-
I have stage fright.
-
Nope. I remember my first debate class. I had done all work ahead of time. I had sheets on sheets of material on the subject. I knew I already had trouble speaking in front of people, but for some reason I thought I would do good. I went up there, and the first 10 seconds went great. Then I resorted to looking straight down and there went the debate. I got full marks for my material though!

Ав курс. Айм нот а факн пуси.
-
Yeah. As long as no one talks back. Or gets friendly. Then I die inside.
