Worried to take class that includes public speaking?
I’m enrolled in a college Sociology class that begins next month and i’m absolutely terrified! The syllabus states students are required to participate every class. We also have to do several show and tell activities. I’m so nervous because i’m very shy and i’m not very good at pubic speaking. I have to take the class because the date to drop and receive a refund has passed. Does anyone have any tips on how I can overcome my shyness with public speaking? Thanks
I am very shy to and hated public speaking so what i did was pick 3-4 points around the room so when i spoke it looked like i was looking at the people but i was really looking above there heads and pretending I was alone in the room. Use visual aids if you can so there aren’t a bunch of people staring at you. And if you have to give timed speeches have a friend keep time for you (he can also tell you if your going to fast or to slow) and he can give you little hand signals so you would know. Hope i helped GOOD LUCK
