I think I have managed to develop a lot more confidence in public speaking now. Only really works if it's something related to what I know quite well and I can recall stuff on the spot.
Are you good at public speaking?
I think for me that I have more confidence in singing in front of a crowd instead of trying to speak to them 😀
That's a big part of my problem is not being able to think on the spot! If it's reading something written ahead of time and not having to add in anything else then I think I'm okay but not very good at it.
I am a terrible public speaker in regards to anything formal. Job interviews are very difficult for me. 😛
When it came down to presenting some type of speech in school, I felt like I did well, but for all the wrong reasons. I would be so uncomfortable and embarrassed, I'd just make jokes and make everyone laugh. I guess that's how I dealt with it back then. I typically ended up getting a good grade on those types of assignments too. I think my teachers were glad to see that I actually had a personality. I'm 100% an introvert.
I never considered the job interview as public speaking but yeah, I guess it is. As uncomfortable as they are, I do pretty well at job interviews and was hired at my previous job for being honest with them about my entry level Excel knowledge. She said that everyone else said "proficient" and she was tired of hearing that over and over LOL
Are any of your speeches on Youtube?
