Apprehension
As a younger kid, I had some issues with public speaking; I was a little shy and stuff. Later, after I was about 8 or 9, I started speaking my mind a lot. I got in trouble a few times for being just a little too blunt, but that helped me become who I am today. I am no longer shy, and I am actually very outgoing now. My friends consider me loud; I never shutup, and they get pretty annoyed at times. To finish off, I am not very apprehensive about public speaking at all. I can stand in front of a croud and speak my mind with no problem.

Hello Barack - A good start to the post. However, in the future, please try to include more course material in your posts.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see that you are not apprehensive about Public Speaking.
(Where are your other posts? Three posts per week are required on your blog).
I find your apprehension at a young age interesting. I was very talkitive and was the one that would not shut up when I was younger and now that I have gotten older I have gotten more apprenhensive to things like public speaking. My friends also consider me to be loud one and I also never shut up to this day but for some reason build up so much anxiety when it comes to talking and sharing my opinions in front of starngers but once you get to know me im very talkative it sounds like we are very alike in that matter.
ReplyDeleteAfter going over your apprehension blogg Barrack, i can rellie get a mental picture going of you talking with as you would in any face to face conversation you may have.
ReplyDeleteI do have a direct question for you,
now ill take a response in any way shape or form.
You seem to be quiet a confident speaker,
do you also use hand gestures and give to show
"blunt" facial expressions?
As a listesner to any speech, body language does play a major role, at least for me.
Im even gonna go out of my way and see it as a three way stop and go, if you catch my drift.
One must speack confident, stand in a manner that the audience will not be threatend
and be as passionate about the content of the speech as any givin individual should be
alrite Barrack
you get back to me, please
you keep doing the do now
take it easy man?
yeah dude
