In my public speaking class, my assignment is to read any poem for 3-5 minutes. This should be something well-known or at least heard of.
Please post the specific name of the poem.

I had to give a small two line speech this past weekend to roughly 40 people. My insides started to grow hot as I waited my turn. My heartbeat was going a mile a minute and I started to take deep breaths.

I was about to faint once again but this time I tried to talk myself out of it. My face started to twitch and I thought I would go down to the floor. It was my turn finally and I blurted out what I needed to say as I tried to mask the ridiculous facial expression that the nerves in my face were causing.

I dry heaved three times before I realized that I was going to throw up. I exited through the back door and throw up in an available trash can. TWICE

I need to shake this fear that I have had since high school…any suggestions? The “visualize” a naked person is not going to cut it.

Can a 1/8 cup from the Nyquil cup calm a person enough for public speaking? Like can it act as xanax in a way so that a person will not be nervous while giving a speech?

I have a tendency to stutter when nervous and this makes my anxiety worse.

Leah S asked:


I am a college sophomore studying Public Relations and although I consider myself an excellent writer, an outgoing person and extremely creative, I am not the best public speaker. I know those in P.R. are often required to address the press but is having a fear a public speaking enough of a reason to change my career path? I’m articulate but I have the hardest time not sounding like a fumbling mess when adressing a crowd. THANKS!
