From DJing to being on stages performing in front of people as young as 5 years old...I honestly like public speeches and public presentations.

I wanted to do stand up for a little bit actually...but I'm still trying to work on it.

It's an everyday part of my life and what I plan to do for living (professor...I was a K12 teacher before). I just gave my first 45 minute lecture to adults a couple weeks ago. From that lecture, I was invited to be a guest lecture for an undergraduate class. I''m really excited about it.

Also, I was the Valedictorian in high and middle school and gave speches for both. In elementary, I gave and won the DARE essay speech. It's what I do :smugbiden:

I do. I'm pretty comfortable in front of crowds and as long as I prepare, it's not a problem for me.

For my job I have to do them alot. My wife thinks its hilarious cuz she calls me the most anti-social social being she has ever met. I hate people, yet I interact very well with them, especially during a talk.

The thing I learned is practice and never memorize. You have a general outline of the talk and getting the timing down. If possible practice in front of people to get feedback.

I used to be a big fan of Les Brown, because dude is just so smooth on stage. I finally met him and chopped it up and it blew my mind how much he prepares for his talks. On some lebron preparing for the season shyt. Blew my mind because the goal of practicing is so you can appear like you coming up with this stuff on the spot.

I'm kind of an introvert and hate public speaking, but I can do them pretty well.
I had a class I never did HW in and missed multiple days.
I show up 30 mins late the last day, wing my presentation and end up getting a C in the class.

did fairly well in my public speaking class
had to memorize the speeches & standing up in front of room was an adjustment
didnt wanna be looking down at note cards

did my thesis, got a low score for speaking part because i was reading off slides & looking down instead of looking up a lot and reading off the projector...still passed it tho because everything else was good
