Personally I hate public speaking. I get all nervous and often forget what I'm supposed to say. It's not that I'm afraid of my peers but more that my professor is grading everything that I say. Does anyone else hate presenting as much as I do?
yeah i'm in a speech class this semester and I get kind of nervous speaking in front of everyone. I have a really good teacher though and she's helped me a lot

Yeah, I'm probably going to have to take one of those next semester. I'm not looking forward to writing and performing speeches.
I don't really get nervous, but I'm definitely not good. I'm terrible at presenting myself when it comes to anything public really. I usually just get up there say what I have to say and then sit down.
I'm in a speech class this semester and I've gotten an A on every speech I've given so far so I might be okay at it...but I hate giving them. I'm usually more nervous when I'm waiting for my turn to give a speech. When I'm actually up there giving the speech, I usually feel alright.

I know what you mean, that's why I usually try to go first if I can.
I'm taking speech this semester. I talk REALLY fast when I'm just around my friends so I have a big problem trying to talk slower in front of a few people I don't really know. If it weren't for that I wouldn't hate it that much.....
I am a pretty good public speaker. I wouldn't count my speech classes since those are relatively small but I have done speeches and performances in front of large audiences and still do presentations for different organizations and such. I get nervous before going on but once I get out there I quite enjoy it.
im terrible if im not reading straight off a paper. its not like im nervous to present but i often just fumble on my thoughts whichs leads me "uhhhhhhhhh".........
I wouldn't say I'm very good at it, but sometimes when I see how bad some of my classmates do presenting, it makes me feel like I can do a better job. :P
I've found...the more nervous that you are...the more you should prepare for the speech. Knowing what to say like the back of your hand allows you to be a lot less robotic and maybe throw in some of your own style in the form of a joke or funny comment.
I thrive at public speaking. I'm so much better at speaking to a room full of 100 people than I am at speaking to one person. It helps that I'm a theatre major :P

There's your problem buddy. If you think about how others are percieving your performance whilst you are presenting, then you WILL choke and fumble. Before the presentation, think like this - everyone has YOUR attention and you are confident in what you are going to say. Think of it as you educating them about something. Breathe at a steady and calm rate as you speak, and look at everyone :) Another way to beat this problem, is by doing many presentation to lots of people. That way, you WILL improve and become more confident. As a 5th year university student, and nearly finishing 2 pre-med degrees in Australia, I think I can safely say that I've given more presentations than I can possibly remember!! [With many more to come...]
