Would a fear of public speaking hinder my chance of succeeding in Public Relations?

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!

How could I make this a career in public speaking?

Ok so I was thinking about what kind of career I want. And I was thinking about being a public speaker. I would like to be someone who travels to high schools and places like that. To teach young kids about abstance and STD’s and things like that. Because teenagers are going to have sex no matter what you tell them. And I just want to help by giving them information about what they are doing. Is there any college to that? Or schooling outside of high school to do this? Please let me know is you can. Thank you.

Does anyone have a recommendation of a excellent book on public speaking?

Pookie asked:


I want to read it so that I will be a much better public speaker, and to be a better communicator in everyday life. I remember hearing someone say that former President Bill Clinton was an excellent public speaker and was persuasive, etc. I wonder what steps he took to become that kind of a speaker. I’m sure that he took at least one course in public speaking, but I wonder what else he did. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you VERY much!

Is anyone an FFA member here that has competed in the prepared public speaking CDE that can give advice?

I am my chapter’s prepared public speaker this year and am nervous about what to expect and how to do it. I was wondering if anyone had competed in it before and what they did to get there.(Their speech, tone, movements, etc) I really need help if anyone can.
