And one for stage fright. As long as they're tested and used properly, I'd say it's all good. Mental setbacks are no differnet than physical ones that we'd pop pills for without as second thought.<br /><br />Aw it's great that Georgie is learning.

In impromptu ad-libbed speeches I'm actually more at ease. I think it's because it feels more like a conversation than public speaking when its ad-libbed.<br /><br />Granted that doesn't always work for teaching.Perplexiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971805688658949769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296380.post-16633890902827683592009-10-21T15:08:38.102-04:002009-10-21T15:08:38.102-04:00Stagefright is never overcome.

I shook like a whore in line for confession at first, then nothing phased me. I loudly announced hymns, sang, played right over my mistakes. In time I learned to just keep on going. <br />Groups don't intimidate me.

It's easy. The faces in the crowd just becomes a mass of colors and I don't see them as individuals.<br /><br />Talking to a group of a dozen?

But I'll bet I expend several hundred calories during my talk.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm quite the introvert. Put me on camera in front of a thousand before you put me in a room with only one stranger.
