Public Speaking and Speechmaking

Okay, anyone who absolutely abhors making a public speech, say aye!

******************
So do you hate public speaking and making speeches in front of the whole class all by yourself?
If so, why?
If you like it, then why?

I absolutely hate it, no matter how much we rocked and rolled on our history presentation today. I still can't get over the fact that my hand was shaking violently and that I stuttered some on my last presentation.
Horrible times.

How 'bout you?

I get the same way. No matter how well I know the people in the class room. I can dance in front of them all day, but a speech? Just...No. haha.

They make me nervous and all sweaty. It's so not worth it.

I hate it because I don't have a lot of confidence so when I am up in front of the whole class I usually get nervous and start shaking a bit. I'm a very quiet and shy person who prefers to sit at the back rather than be at the front.

Yeah, I think we should make a club and see how many join!

Anyways, I have to do like 2 more this week and next, so wish me luck!
Also, I actually have people going with me, so it shouldn't be too much to handle.
Together we make it easy.

I can do it in groups. It's much easier that way. At least I think so.

I hate public speaking. I really don't like talking in front of a huge audience. I get extremely nervous. I start to skip words and I talk fast.

Okay, so I saw these people go up to the front of class and present, and boy I couldn't hear what they were talking about; their voices were trailing off and I saw their hands shake, much like I was until I got out of it.
Thing is, they did this through the whole presentation.
I don't ever want to do that.

Public Speaking. Meh. I'm okay with it. Sure I get nervous, but once I get the ball rolling, then I'm pretty much on track. I know that in my English AP class, hardly anyone got nervous. Well half of them were on Mock Trial anyway, so they were used to it and very experienced with Public Speaking.

I'm not experienced at all, but I can handle it. It's a good learning experience, so I don't mind it all that much.

I don't hate it since I already got used to speak in front of a huge audience. I have this ability of speaking without feeling nervous, but people get distracted by my voice which makes me sound older than I am, though one girl at school said that I have a sexy voice

Anyway the only day that I was damned nervous was on my best friend's graduation. I was asigned to speak a few words in front of the audience and suddenly this beatiful (yeah her, the "her" I keep mentioning a lot) was staring at me and I was like "WTF? erm, what do I do?"

Hopefully I was able to say what I had to say and leave before staying completly frozen by her eyes.
