Public speaking isn't too horrible for me. I mean, it really sucks and I hate it but it doesn't really freak me out. I'm definitely not too good at it either. I never make eye contact with the audience because then I feel way too uncomfortable and freeze up. I tend to stare at the floor. My biggest fear is forgetting everything I was going to say or jumbling up my words. I hate it when I jumble my words and can't talk. Todays speeches weren't as bad as I thought they would be. Going up there was torture but overall it was actually a lot of fun and very entertaining watching everyone else.
I personally like public speaking. I know that a lot of people get really nervous when they have to talk in front of people. The only time i get nervous is when i have to remember the whole speech. Other than that i am very comfortable giving speeches. In Spanish we have to give speeches all the time and that has given me a lot of practice. In 7th grade i had a class where all we did were speeches and i had a lot of fun. I feel comfortable in front of people when i am giving speeches. I think my peers did really good today. It seemed like most of them were comfortable with everyone else. We all laughed at the same things and encourages our peers. Overall i think the class did very good with impromptu speeches.
I personally dislike public speaking. I never make eye contact with the audience because then I feel way too uncomfortable and freeze up. Even if I have what I'm going to say in front of me, I either speed up, or I just stutter the whole time. Going up there was actually a lot of fun, and it was very entertaining watching everyone else. Most of my peers did a great job giving their impromptus and others were nervous nellies. I was nervous at giving my speech as I didn't know anything about Lax, but it was a lot of fun. I hope that other people will do better on their future speeches.

Public Speaking is something I really enjoy. I feel like I can be myself in front of anyone, no matter what. When I was younger, I was alot less comftorble with myself so public speaking was alot harder back then. However, I have both strengths and weaknesses when it comes to talking in front of people. I succeed with just getting the desire to do it, and being conftorble with it. I start to mess up when I have to memorize something to say in front of a crowd. I don't have the best memory in the world, and I don't deal that well under pressure. All in all, public speaking isn't so bad.
My strengths in public speaking would be that i only have confidence when i am prepared. I f i am prepared, i usually do pretty well. My weaknesses are getting up there are doing it and if i am not prepared, i get very nervous. My biggest fear would be that i embarrass myself somehow. like i say a word wrong and it is a bad word or something because i get embarrasses really easily. i feel comfortable when i am speaking with a group. i feel people are there to support me and back me up. i think everybody did pretty well with their speeches today. there were some stumbles but overall, they did a good job.

im ok with public speaking as long as im per paired for the speech. i don't like it just cus its kind of uncomfortable. my strengths are probably being able to look around the room. my biggest fear is probably choking up in front of a big audience. i feeling comfortable talking about something i no, in front of a smaller audience. i thought everyone did very well on there speeches today. they all sounded pretty good.
I do not care for public speaking. It kind of scares me a little bit. My strengths is that I have good opions and I know how to word things. My weakness is that I'm feel like I will mess up and people will laugh at me. Thinking about this now I kind of feel stupid for being scared at public speaking. Its just when I get up in front of a class and get graded on my presentation I get nervous and scared. I feel comfortable with people being up there with me. I feel like I am not alone that I have somebody to lean on. I think that everyone did a great job. Some were funny. When I went up there to do my speech it was not good. I totally blanked and forgot what I said and what I needed to say. That happens to me. I can memorize a whole speech and get ready to go up a present it but I will forget and stumble with the words and fail to present.
I could care less about public speaking when we don't have to memorize every word. I like it when we get to do what ever we want and it is comical. I liked what most of us did today. The only bad thing is that some people were mean to others in the speech. If we all had to put in one good topic then doing that would work better. Also if we got to pick out of the hat all at once and we had more time to think about what to talk about. My biggest fear is when I talk to fast or mumble and no one under stands me. Also if people just seem to be focusing at a mistake I made or something liek that.
I dont mind public speaking. I used to hate it and fear getting up infront of my class and speaking, but now i dont mind it. sometimes if i get all worked up about speaking infront of a big group of people my hands get shacky. I think my biggest fears are that ill get up there and mess up what i was going to say or trip and fall. I feel more comfortable standing behind a potium or having more place to rest my hands or arms on like a potium because i feel weird standing up there with my arms just awakwardly there or folded. I think my peers did rather well today, it was cool to see what they came up with on the spot and could talk about it for 60 seconds.
Public Speaking for me is somewhat scary. If I don't think about it I wont be stressed out about it but the more that I let my mind dwell on it, the more nervous I get. My strengths in public speaking is that I'm very open minded, so if I get a topic and then think about it for a while I will take and look at all options and sides. This doesn't mean I agree with all the sides it just means that I'm open to new ideas. My biggest fear is that I'll psych myself out so much that my hands will shake. It's highly embarrassing! I thought that a lot of people did really well today on their speeches.
I've never had a problem with public speaking, on the contrary I really enjoy it. In class its never a big deal to me, because normally everyone else has to too and i know no one is even really paying attention to me. An other is i love having an audience. I think one of my strengths would be that i am so confident, I don't really worry about how I'm going to do or what other people will think. I feel more comfortable when I am talking about something I actually enjoy or am interested in, if I'm bored about the topic it will come across in my speaking.
Public speaking doesn't bother me a single bit. Strengths that I have would be that I'm loud and that I'm good on my feet. A weekness that I have is that sometimes it can be akward to make eye contact so I don't do it as much as I should when I present. I don't really have any fears towards public speaking, I view it like I'm talking to a bunch of my friends in a group. I feel comfortable having an outline and then talking from there because atleast I have a few good points to get my thought process rolling. Overall I think that everyone did a great job. They were wicked funny and everyone was very supportive of one another.
I think public speaking is a good thing because everyone should be heard on their opinions. I think my strenghts are being able to come up with things to talk about. My weaknesses are being nervous and fidgety. My biggest fears of public speaking is forgetting what im supposed to say or getting made fun of probably. I know that wouldn't really happen, but it's just one of my fears. I think everyone did good today. Everyone knew how to build off their topic and start to talk about something else that relates.

I do not like public speaking. I'm okay at it but I always get nervous and sometimes my throat gets dry and I choke up. I also get really nervous before hand. I usually end up doing fine but I stress myself out which is deffinately my main weakness. I'm always nervous that I'll say the wrong thing or sound stupid or forget what I'm supposed to be saying. I think everyone did pretty well on our speaches today. After I finished I thought about more things that I could have said instead of pausing for awhile.
I really don't get too stressed out about public speaking but I am not a huge fan of it. I think that it is a very good skill to have and is a big part of the school and work place. Being a good public speaker can lead to a bunch of opportunities and has a ton of positives. I don't really like when I have to remember a long speech or something like that but it doesn't bug me too much. I think everyone did a pretty good job on their impromtu's today and it didn't seem like anybody got too stressed out about it.
I think that most public speaking is hard for a lot of people and I dont think its that bad but i would rather not do it. I think that my strenghts are that I can normally talk for a pretty good amount of time. I think that my weaknesses area that I get a little nervous and i move around a lot. I think that my biggest fears are messing up because everyones eyes are on you and its really bad when you mess up. I feel comfortable when I get to talk about something that i know about and not just something random. I think that my peers performed very well today especially because it was a suprise and many people were not ready. I think that speeches are very good and help out a lot.
I feel public speaking either comes natural or it is learned. My strengths in public speaking are getting across my point and being straightforward with it. Although that is true sometimes i start talking about something else and sway off topic i think that is my weakness. My biggest fear of public speaking is just being in front of people with all eyes on me. I feel as if i mess up once everyone will automatically notice it. I think the speeches today were funny while some people had troubles others did very well. I also think that because they were fun speeches we all did better than what we would if a speech was based on facts.
Note- I was not at school today, therefore I didn't see the speeches today and i am emailing my website to you after this blog, not knowing it was due at 6pm.
I used to be affraid of going up in front of a crowd but ever since i've been playing music at coffee houses and what not, I feel more comfortable each time. I usually use a clear, confident voice which is good. However, I tend to speak quickly to get off of podium quicker. I also have trouble scanning the audience. I usually look at one spot or a select few spots in the back of the room. I could use to work on scanning the audience as a whole and speaking slower. When I do speak slow, I tend to have more confidence about my topic when I speak slower.
public speaking to me isnt to bad only if im with or around people i know, like if its a topic i know well or like ican easily tell you about it. lets say we talk about hunting or out doors and some sports i could surely tell you about that but not something i havent grown into. my strengths are being able to be not affraid and being tuff throughtout it but my false side is doing it right like freezing up or doing something i shouldnt. my biggest fear for speaking is the side effects youcan get from it like let say you speak in front of a crown that you dont know and you mess up, that was your or my first impression i messed up.i think our peers now days takea bunch of pills to keep themchill and put there effort and researc and also knowledge into the speach then they speak about it.
I really don't like public speaking. When i speak infront of people get all jittery and i forget about what i am going to say. I really don't think i have many strengths. One of the strengths i think i have is i can convince people easily. My weakness is improvising what i am going to say if i forgot it. That is my biggest fear, forgetting what i am going to talk about. I think everyone did a good job on their impromptu speech. I think i did terrible but everyone else did good.
Public speaking donest really bother me that much. Me strengths are the fact that i dont really care what others think. Weaknesses would be getting a hard topic or saying something stupid. Fears would be getting something to talk about that i can't really relate to. Im comfortable with pritty much everything. I think everyone did very well. No one really messed up to bad.
I don’t really have a problem with public speaking, I don’t see anything wrong with it, its not fun but its not hard. I guess my strengths in public speaking would be the speaking in public part, although some people feel nerves, I don’t see why. I guess my weakness would be the standing part, if your speech is to long then your stuck standing through the hole thing. Well I feal comfortable with public speaking, I think that was alredy covered so I’m missing why I have to say it agen. I think my peers preformed atiquitly with there first random speech, its new so not allot to be expected but it wasn’t that great
