Is it weird to talk to "yourself" in front of the mirror?

Question

You know, to practice speech and facial expressions and all that, and even record yourself. I never really did it, but am terrible at talking and expressing words (even though I word things out really nicely in my own head). Is this a normal thing to do?

Answer 1

oh i talk to myself all the time, even argue with myself, of course i always win the argument.

Answer 2

I took a course in Public Speaking last year and the teacher used to tell us to practice in front of a mirror or in front of family/friends.  If the teacher is telling us to do it, then it must be normal.

I talk to my own reflection, it helps me remember what I need to do that day. (ie talking aloud to remember)

Answer 3

Hold on I'll ask my reflection...

Answer 4

It's only a bit weird if the mirror talks back, has a conversation with ya.  Otherwise its probably a great way of practising your punctuation and speech

Answer 5

No, it is not that weird.Its one way of checking yourself or rather your ideas, or thoughts.

Answer 6

It's normal. It's definitely a good way to practice and become familiar with the material.

Answer 7

See all the presenters on the news.

See them?

They do it all times.

Answer 8

I talk to myself all time...and talk to mirror when I am fall in love for a girl and she doesn't or doesn't like me.

Answer 9

i think that professional speakers do it all the time, actually, so no i don't think it's weird at all but a perfectly reasonable way to improve yourself in that area if it's something important to you.

Answer 10

Actors do it all the time, just as dancers watch themselves in a mirror while they are practising. It helps them to see what mistakes they are making.

Answer 11

I do it all the time, it really is not that bad, but in public it might be a little strange to some people. But no, as long as in private.

Answer 12

weirdo...
