Presentation/ public speaking review

Presentations don’t usually come to most people easily. Many people struggle with various aspects of presenting and speaking publicly whether online or in person. For instance they’re always high emotions and nerves. Some procrastinate and don’t have time to truly be ready to speak. For me personally I was full of emotions before hand asking questions like am i ready? Did I correctly source my information? Or the main one will the audience or in my case my professor like my presentation and the information given from it? But once it was my turn I just turned a switch and got started.

  Introduction to Public Speaking September 21, 2023 Introduction to Public speaking By Franchesco Ramirez What is public speaking?

 Public Speaking Presentations By: Gabriela Padron     Public speaking can be enjoyable or nerve-racking as people get scared of crowds, but we should all practice and learn about it. In our daily lives, we communicate with others we have never met before and even though at first you might be anxious to speak to someone or speak aloud, in the end, it feels good when you get your opinions out. Some people do not have a problem with this as they are outgoing and love to talk to people but, others, like myself, get anxious and have trouble speaking out loud without stuttering or speaking very low. Staying organized and practicing every day helps you gain the confidence for public speaking along with many other tips I have learned throughout the presentations given on the chapters of the book " iSpeak: Public Speaking for Contemporary Life"  by Paul Nelson.      Split into 3 groups, we all focused on 3 main topics; Preparing presentations, selecting and arranging content, and typ

The Public Speakers Corner   When words take center stage   Trouble in public speaking paradise   Public speaking – two words that have the power to strike terror into the hearts of many, including myself. As someone who prefers on occasion's to shy away from the limelight, the thought of standing before an audience, baring my thoughts, and attempting to sway them with my words is daunting . As I entered the classroom for my SPC2608 course, I could not help but feel a sense of dread wash over me. Public speaking was never my forte, Unfortunately, my academic journey had other plans for me, and here I was, facing a semester filled with presentations on assorted topics . Life often throws us into situations where we must endure and, occasionally, participate in public speaking engagements .   Where the presentations enjoyable?   50/50. I loved the presentations.
