Public Speaking

As far as public speaking is concerned, I am not the best. I was given that natural loud, authoritative voice. My soft voice and my nervous habits can make my public speaking disastrous. I have not had a lot of experience with public speaking. I have had a few banquets and other occasions where I have had to say a few lines in front of a large audience. In addition to that, my High School Senior Project required an 8-10 minute speech in front of a panel of 3 judges. This experience allowed my nerves to kick in. My hands were shaking and my voice trembled as I stuttered through my speech. Being a dancer, I do not mind being in front of a large audience, my only fear is speaking in front of them. I have difficulties speaking in front of small groups too if they are watching my every move and judging me.
