...a couple of years ago, I had the chance to do a "phoner" prior to his appearance in Columbus...he is quite intelligent, though obviously polarizing with his outspoken stands on issues...I was a really shy kid, but learned to speak in public when I moved to a new school in 11th grade and the debate coach plucked me out of the registration crowd and said, "You're going to take my debate class." I learned to create a public persona--It's not me, it's the Speaking Lady Did Toastmasters with work, had positions in a few service clubs/groups... Speaking Lady still works for me. No fear, really.
not_nadine YOU had a thing with Ted Nugent, or GNTLGNT had a thing with Ted Nugent? The answer determines whether I'm admiring or appalled
...maybe I could help, if you give me an idea of what the speaking engagement would be for....I've managed to avoid public speaking most of my life, except for in the last couple of years when I spoke at both my parents funerals, my two older sisters and I went up together and I never looked up from what I had written down. In March I will probably have to speak to a small crowd, but on my own & I have no idea what I'm going to say. I'm such a klutz too, I'm hoping I don't fall flat on my face.
...thanks!...I ad-libbed the whole thing...don't like "stock" questions, and I think he appreciated the stream of consciousness style...it made for a very laid back and fun half-hour...I try to do that with all of my interviews, even though I still do my homework...there's a fine line between being prepared, and being overdone...and you were great, in the Nugent interview.
I'm quite shy and find public speaking quite daunting. I've been a best man twice, and both times was dreading it. The beauty of best man speeches is you can have a drink beforehand, also I do like telling jokes. Once I got going I was fine, and actually started ad- libbing in the end.
Then i got a job in a museum that involved talking to groups of tourists, schoolclasses of all ages and other visitors to the museum. Part of my job was to guide them through the exhibition. A guidetour took about two hours. The first time i was shaking. They will laugh at me i thought to myself. But they didn't and then i found out that i was actually good at making history come alive for them.
