Speech Class......????

Question

This year I am required to take a Speech Class. I don't know how I'm going to survive...

I'm a really shy person, so shy that when I go up to present or make a speech,my face turns dark red. Does anybody have any advice for me?

Answer 1

Present first, it gets it over with *and* everyone else is likely wrapped up in preparing their speech :D  If you dont present first, think of it this way: out of your entire class, most are likely to space out during *any* presentation, very few of them will actually pay attention... and no one really cares if you mess up in some way.  Even if you do mess up, I can guarantee it won't be the highlight of their day.

[PS going first also makes you look confident :P]
