Guest BROWNer Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 boing so i have my first kinda big presentation today, and i'm feeling fucking super chilled out. i know the shit i'm talking about really well, its gonna be a breeze, plus i'm dressing up like a complete skidded out heavy metal doofus with a mullet and def leppard t-shirt. haha, fuck it. presentations are stupid, to get all sweaty and scared, gimme a break, whats the use? logically it ain't nothin, so whatever. some girl i know was telling me about this chick who had to do some big ass presentation and was shitting hard over it, so she took a bunch of valiums:dazed: :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Re: Good Luck Originally posted by bobobi11 I had to do a presentation on my work yesterday in front of the entire company. It was okay. I wasn't happy, but no one fell asleep and they paid enough attention to ask questions. I wonder how much of this presentation was complemented with visuals courtesy of the 12oz Benches. Public speaking is hit or miss for me. Sometimes I give awesome presentations and kick everyone's ass, other times I'm a stuttering mess. It all boils down to two things: how confident and prepared I am, and how much sleep I got the night before. Have a couple of questions for the audience. Jump to them by default when you get into a bind... once it's a discussion it's no longer a "presentation", and it's lot easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAustin Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I agree with Beardo (years ago)...don't care. I used to be a complete mess at public speaking. Once I took the mental stance that its just my opinion and that none of the people I'm talking to really matter...it became easy. End of the day...it'll be over and the people that listened will be gone. Its not really different than a message board. On here people hide behind their computers. In public speaking you hide behind your information and opinions. the only other thing I have is eye contact. Make sure to break the room up into thirds. Look at one person in each third for several seconds before moving on to the next third. Obviously you don't want to look too fast...you'll end up looking like a robot with toasted circuits. if the teacher or someone important is in one of the thirds...make sure to make eye contact with them. I used to envision myself kicking the shit outta my professors when I'd do the eye contact. I also used to write relax on my note cards. edit: I remembered a bit more. Be sure to vary the tone of your voice. If you can't be passionate about what you're talking about....act passionate. Monotones kill interest.

!@#$% Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 one of the worst parts is being in the audience when someone is nervous.. i watched a presentation given by an obviously capable young lady last week who was also obviously exhausted and nervous. i always want to get up and say "don't be nervous, we're not judging you, we're just here to listen to what you have to say, and hey, a lot of these motherfuckers are here because they have to be, and they aren't even paying that close attention to what you're talking about" sad, but true. remembering this helps me when i have to talk.. it's way worse to listen to a shitty talk given by a nervous person than just a shitty talk. ugh, that probably isn't helping.

Guest ctrl+alt+del Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 even if you messed up on something, dont let them know. stay confidant and passionate. i use hand gestures and movements to portray that im really into what im talking about. make lots of eye contact smile when needed put emotion into your voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
