Obama’s GF’s BF asked:


i am good at giving speeches, but i have a hard time talking to people one-on-one. what are some good careers for people who have to constantly present and can make a lot of money? what would i have to do to become a news caster? does it require a degree in communications?

kool asked:


1. I just start shakin and my voice cracks.
2. Should I chew gum to calm my nerves??
3. Should I talk clearly and loud?
4. I dont get nervous when I am playing B-Ball and Football in front of people.
Why do I only get nervous when I am public speaking??

theunknown asked:


English is not my native language. When I speak with other people, I get nervous and become inarticulate. Should I take public speaking course to overcome these problems? Should I take it even though I have accent? I’m afraid that people won’t understand when I’m giving a speech.

Kayla asked:


They always make me nervous and I get shaky and tense before it’s my turn. How can I just talk naturally and get in front of a whole room full of people with confidence and ease?

alibubu12 asked:


I have a power point presentation to do tomorrow infront of 10 to 20 people and infront of the hiring manager. I memorized what I need to say, my problem is when I stand infront of people to give a speach I choke up, my chest gets stiff and I can’t breath. I can’t walk around or hold any thing and I’m afraid I might forget my next line. What are some good tricks to help deal with this?

trueblue88 asked:


I won’t say that I have never given a speech because of my phobia, but some people seem to enjoy or do not mind giving speeches and I find myself up all night worrying about it, and then often I mess up. Sometimes this phobia extends to not being able to raise my hand in class. Please help. Would it help to take a drug before getting on stage? What worked for you?

I am doing a research paper on people who are afraid of public speaking, or speaking infront of large groups because of either something that happened in their childhood, or childhood trauma.

I do not need agoraphobia. I know what it is, but it will not help me in my research.
