Discussion question response 1
Every since I can remember my Father insisted that I take part in small plays whish were presented to may be five hundred Tamil speaking Sri Lankans. Therefore I have never been anxious or nervous about going on stage or presenting in front of many people. Nevertheless the “uncertainty of the setting” may affect me. All those other times I have done speeches I been standing up in front of people I know very well. Another difficulty is trying to adapt to my audience. Writing the speech in such a way that the listener still is interested. These may be the greatest causes of anxiety in regards to this class.

Yes, I agree with you. The "uncertainty of setting" can affect someone a lot during a speech. For most of my high school classes I mainly did presentations in front of classmates I have known for years but when I did presentations that were done in classes where I did not know the audience that well I noticeably felt more nervous and scared. I think a good way to handle the setting and the audience is too just have an open mind and too practice your speech several times to a group of friends. By doing this you will feel more prepared for any anxiety or nervousness you might feel during any speech you may be presenting.
ReplyDeleteHi Fish! I'm glad to hear that you have been on stage quite a bit. This will help you. But you are correct when you say that the setting might affect you a bit. Also, seeing everyone in the class with whom you are not too familiar with can also be a factor. But I think that your experience will help. Good observations. :)
