are you confident/knowledgeable about what you are talking about?
yes. Problem is I turn into a nervous idiot. I feel like I forget how to form proper English sentences. I can't think of the right words I want to use. Ugh.

will the audience know what you are talking about?
No, that's the point. I'm teaching/educating them about the topic.

I practiced on Friday and the girl critiquing me was like you may want to tone down the sarcasm at some points.

Good luck! Public speaking TERRIFIES me. I would freeze up and start saying "um" a lot.


Only public speaking I had to do was give a hygiene seminar to 200 Kenyan kids. I was nervous as hell about it...even though an interpreter was there so it's not like they could tell when I messed up. And many of the kids weren't even paying attention and were too busy finding old gum on the ground to pick up and eat.

I freaking had a dream about it last night. I was editing my slides but I've already submitted the slides to the organizer! So I woke up all panicked that my slides need editing.

It's pretty much the biggest reason I'm avoiding a phd. Too many talks.

well crap, that makes it even easier since you have slides.

For the love of God, please do not read every word, line by line.

oh no, not possible. They are just bullet points and pictures. No sentences.

I did sing Happy Birthday to them to demonstrate how long you are supposed to wash your hands. I can't sing either. I felt like I was gonna throw up right before I had to present.



I did have several kids come up and sing me happy birthday afterwards though

I can public speak like a ma'fricker... as long as I'm allowed to use swear words.
