Anything goes here.

Just tell us whatever is on your mind...

I have to give a speech tomorrow and its about 20 - 23 people from the invitations we sent out. My question is Will I be more nervous even with this many. I have spoken to smaller goups before, like 10 to fifteen. I am hoping it will be the same and I wont be more nervous.

Oddly enough, for me - the more people I get in front of the less nervous I am. It's the smaller groups that compound it for me. It's something I an unable to explain but I feel more stable in front of a large audience than a smaller audience.

I don't know if my concern is founded but I get nervouus when a lot of time has passed since my last speaking thingy. I feel I may have forgotten my skills that I worked so hard to overcome. Usually I do fine but it never stops me fromm worrying.

i can study i can know the product but once i start speaking i blow up and i dont know what to do, colleagues assume i am a moron.. im in trouble!!

has anyone claimed they have gotten better by just speaking a lot. Im wondering if I should just sign up for every opportunity to speak. but if I dont speak again for a year or more, will it come back?????
