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? :P

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.
 
Ah, i hate public speaking, but if im with some1 i don't care i don't know :P but i remember hearing that like 2304 out of 3324 fear public speaking then death 0_o (that was just a random number but i know there was huge number of people hate public speaking :P)
 
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! :P

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 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 :D

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.
 
I only hate it depending on the subject... I enjoyed debates though, but only inside the classroom, not in front of say 100 people...

There was one time in yr 8 when I did a history speech... Apparently I was really loud... and usually Im pretty quiet.. But the thing is, I got a really good grade for it which amazed me. I was nervous as hell during that speech.
 
Yes, debates are the best way to talk in front of a large audiance, much more if the topic is one about actual problems such as war, contamination, about the society and others.

Depending on a subject, like oral reports about , for example, "X" Book and how much you "enjoyed/hated" it, are lame and I hate them because they limit my opinion to a certain subject.


Debates however, allow me to add information from different subjects as long as I don't go WAY off topic.
 
Oi!
Now debates on the other hand I actually quite love, because usually at my school, it's always in a team, and I always work well speaking in front of whole classes in a team. :lol:

So yeah, it's never that hard to work in a team. ;)
Especially it's something I'm really passionate about, like war or something, count on me to jump all over it.
 
I can't make speeches worth shit, even if it's only in front of three or four people. I have trouble speaking with people as it is, since I talk too quickly and I get my words jumbled which makes me start the entire sentence over again. I can sing in front of a group, since they are more concerned with my tone than my words. But speaking? No, never.
 
Aye!

I hate public speaking. I absolutely hate it, really bad stage fright. :blink:

If its a subject that I know really well and I can bullshit my way through it in-case I forgot my lines, notes or speech, then I usually end up being alright without saying too many um's an ah's.

If it's the other way around, I usually fail miserably.
 
Tch, I don't see why teachers have to mark someone down for saying 'ah's, and um's...even the 'great' politicians do it....:dry:

I mean, I got marked down to a basic C on a speech about school cleanliness once, and then I asked and the teacher said that there were too many of those. :(
Lamest reason to give me a worse grade than I deserve ever.
 
I HATE IT!!!!!!! I get all nervous and shaky because,you know,all of a sudden the class gets all quiet and everything and everyone's staring at you.I'm pretty shy,so...I just REALLY hate it. ^_^
