How are you at public speaking?

My voice shakes when I do presentations. Even relaxed and informal ones. I hate it. My body betrays me. I know it’s mind over matter but my mind is a stubborn twit.

Pretty terrible. I forget to breathe. I'll know the information but my mind has the tendency to totally go blank. It doesn't even need to be a crowd....get more than just a couple people paying attention to me and I act like a freak, lol.

@SW-User that’s exactly what happens to me. Even if it’s a subject I’m comfortable with! The lack of oxygen is is what makes my voice shake 🙄

@Fallflower I know the struggle. Luckily the times I’ve done it I’ve managed without passing out lol.
