Think of a time when you've had to get up in front of a group of people to present or perform. Spend 5 minutes writing about the hardest part of having all of the attention on you.
I've had to give lots of presentations and performances. I usually am not nervous to perform or get up in front up in a group of people. I can always think of something to say, so that I don't just stand awkwardly in front of every one. If I really know my information then I can do very well. the wall is red, hahahahahahaha. I can't think of anything else to write about, but I will keep writing.
The hardest time I have with performing is getting the audience's attention. Even if my presentation is explosively awesome some people won't pay attention. I also say 'ummmm' and 'because uh...' a lot.
How come we always come before the snowstorm? Seriously, I was could've been sleeping now.
During the summer that I was going into 6th grade, I was in a play for my church. I don't remember it being hard getting up in front of everyone but I found out after the play that no one in the back could hear me :/ Other times that I've had to go up in front of people are when I've had to do class presentations. I used to HATE getting up in front of everyone and present, but I don't really mind as much anymore. I remember in 7th grade, I had to do a report on France and we had to go up in front of the class and tell the class about our country and I was freaking out.
Last night I was really bored and I was bored with the music on my iPod so I was looking up French songs and bands and I found a singer that I actually really like even though I don't know what she is saying in the songs so I had to translate the lyrics for one of them.
I also put some Paramore songs on my iPod and one Flyleaf song but they are ones I already know so they aren't ones I will be listening to all the time like I usually do when I put new songs on my iPod.
I have to perform in front of people all the time for gymnastics I think that I do get nerves a lot but I also know that I'm good at what I do so there is know reason to be nerves. The Hardest part is when it is really quiet right before you are about to do something it makes your nerves go up high because you know everybody is watching you, and if you happen to mess up your life will be over because maybe somebody important is watching that has something to do with your future and wear you happen to want to go to college. Well last night i got my hair done!!! and I cant wait until Saturday because I'm going to get my nails done!!!! yay I know I was suppose to delete this, but i couldn't because I really wanted to share why I cannot wait tell Saturday!!
So now apparently I have to go back and take out the stuff that isn't relevant. So what I am going to do is paste the exact text I wrote the first time.
There have been many times where I have had to get up and speak in front of a group of people. Most of the time it is at school and I am presenting some project that I've done. Probably the worst part of presenting something is making mistakes. A small mistake is hugely amplified in the mind of the presenter and can cause more mistakes to happen. Of course, 90% of the time the mistake is almost unnoticeable. Despite this, I have not had as many problems presenting something in recent times because I have learned to adopt a more candid approach to presenting something. That allows me to be more comfortable.
That is the text I wrote the first time. Down below is the pointless waste of time I had to endure. Enjoy!
So apparently this is not enough writing so now I have to write constantly. I just remembered that one movie called Duel by Steven Speilberg. It was his frist movie and he directed and I think he wrote it also. I haven't seen it in a long time but I am pretty sure I remember liking it and I should see it again I remembered it because I am subscribed to this guy on youtube called the angry video game nerd and he reviews old video games from like the 80s like the nes and sega genesis and such and such and he uses a lot of profanity and gets really really angry at the video games and it is funny but it's not just video games he also really likes movies and he is one of those people that grew up with like vhs tapes and he likes bad horror movies and even makes some movies himself and he has this friend names mike who also really really loves movies and has a huge enormous dvd collection including that movie duel I rememebr reading the article for it and im pretty sure it was made for tv but it is really awesome if you don't know what it is i will explain as much as i can from memory yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes ye sye syes se so basicall this one guy is driving his car along a lonely desert road and then this huge tanker truck starts like messing with him and he never sees the driver and then I think he eventually coaxes the truck off a cliff or something and its really great especially since you don't know wether or not there is actually a driver in ther there is a crisis in japan there is a crisis in yemen there is a crisis in libya there is a crisis in bahrain there is a crisis in uganda there is a crisis in china there is a crisis in the united states there POOP
In my Tae kwon do testing I feel is the hardest times where I am in front of people. The hardest part is not being conscious while being in front of everyone. I also become afraid and think I am going to mess up and disappoint my parents or my instructor. The worst part for me is when I don't break the board the first time or when I have to do my form or kicking/sparring combination by myself. I get so fidgety and nervous. My voice get's high and I can feel myself trembling. I don't sound confidant anymore even though I try my very best to be as focused and concentrated as possible. I just want to get it all over with in the end and go back to my turtle shell.
I don't really mind presenting in front of groups of people, Mr. Elston has me talk to tourist who come to the school all the time. It's nothing new to give a speech, I'm bad at memorizing what I'm going to say, but better at speaking my mind.
I absolutely hate presenting and talking to a group of people. I don't remember a specific time presenting but I remember disliking it. I hate when all eyes are on me and people are waiting for me to say something. It is definitely not one of my strengths. Being under pressure to do something is hard for me. I always dread it!!
When I am presenting I always feel like everyone is starting at me, which they are. But I do not like attention drawn to me. Im not a people person. People bug me with all their stupid little problems. I always think I am gong to mess up and make a fool out of my self and draw even more attention to my self. I do not speak as loud as I should, I know it, but I usually don't do anything. I hate presenting, its stupid and a waste of time. I do not like showing people what I did, I hate getting judged. Presenting Is not my strong suit, never will be. When I do present its a time that I wish I had a fast forward button for. To get it over with. Not have to do it. Its not a fun task. I hate presenting.
That's kind of hard, because when I'm in front of a bunch of people, I kind of focus on the back wall and talk to it. So um I guess the hardest part about being on stage/talking to a big group of people is getting what you're saying straight. It isn't really the attention that's all on you, but the fact that what you're saying needs to make sense to keep the attention on you. Otherwise the act or whatever you were doing is failing miserably, and you don't want that. You need to keep your body language open and spiffy. Don't twitch around too much. If you can talk without "um uhh" or something like that it would be better. If you really start getting nervous you focus on the back wall, because in your mind you're reciting something to no one. I guess the beginning of the presentation is always awkward, because you still need to get into it. So the hardest parts for me is to start, and keep the ball rolling.
when i had to do a speech in my church in front of everyone it made we nervous at first then i look around an noticed i been seeingg those faces for years so i got more comfortable then it was ok
Umm the hardest thing for me standing up in front of people is not getting distracted by the audience. I often go off of what im saying and change the subject. Other than that i don't really have any troubles talking in front of people.
The hardest part to me of getting up in front of the class and performing is that I have stage fright so I don't like getting up and talking in front of people. But I think I'm starting to get better at it because I have theater and they make us perform in front of the whole class for our grade but sometimes I have good days and sometimes I have bad days. On my good days I will get up and perform with out any care about what people say or anything.
I don't like going up in front of people. I have anxiety and when everyone is staring at me I get cold and hot flashes. I also start shaking. My mom always told me that I should not let fear run my life, but I can't help but let it run my life. I feel that when I am up there no one care what I am saying so whats the point of talking. I also feel like they talk about you when you are up there. I always like to be last, but that never works out. I try my hardest to get out of it, but I never can. - Chumani Wayd
The hardest part of having all the attention on me is to not look stupid while your in front of everyone. I try to not be fidgety and speak loud while i am presenting. I always try to have a good presentation so everyone can be interested. Even though i don't usually get scared when I am in front of the class.
I usually don't like presenting in front of class. It's not as bad as it was before, but I still don't like it. I can't remember a time when I presented.
My first time playing the banjo in front of an audience was pretty dang scary! At the camp that I was dishes and what not during the summer was having a camp fire for the new campers and myself and 2 of the trail guides decided to play the song Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show.
5 minutes before I went in front of the group, of 75 people, I got very nervous. I thought that I was out of tune, then I thought that I forget the chords and everything went to hell in a hand basket. When I got on stage / the front of a room, everything came naturally and I didn't mess up once. When it was over I was relieved, but nervous again.
The hardest part for me about getting up to present or perform is I can't stay in a steady rhythm. I get so put off because people laugh, and talk. It makes me nervous and then I ask them just what's so funny. And then they laugh some more. I don't care what was funny, whether is was about me or not, it feels humiliating when you have to get up and talk to a bunch of kids who really couldn't care less. Especially when you tried really hard, and put your heart into it. They laugh.
I use to perform all the time, dances play's things like that. I have done many performing art things. I've danced an African dance many times I also was the scarecrow in the Wiz in 8th grade. I've never been really nervous about being in front of people speaking or performing!. I actually enjoy talking, acting and dancing in front of people because If I know what Im doing and have confidence in what I'm doing I have no reason to be nervous or scared. Yeah!
I was in the school talent show in the 5th grade. I had to sing a song, but I couldn't remember the lyrics. So I had to learn it in the next 3 minutes because I was about to go on and perform. When I got up on the stage and started to sing, I was doing pretty well. Then the CD scratched up and I forgot the lyrics. Everyone in the audience tried to help me remember the lyrics. They were singing the lyrics to me and I eventually remembered it. That was probably my hardest time performing in front of people.
- our last project presenting . I was nervous , i hated it . I have stage fright , so everything is bad. I stutter , I say umm and like all the time . I play with my clothes or anything that is near or in my hand .
