Does anyone actually enjoy giving a speech?
I know that when many people have to present something the would like to opt out of the idea. It gets me really nervous and when I am in front of a crowd ranging from 2 and up, I having my legs shaking. It always helps me to have other people giving the speech with me or for me to have the comfort of a chair. So any of you guys enjoy giving a speech or presenting anything in front of a crowd/class?

Lol I am a bumbling mess when I am infront of a crowd. I have no problems talking to people, being around people, but when it comes to formal speeches I get horribly nervous and I hate it.

I have a big problem talking to people and giving speeches. I am probably considered to be an extremly shy person.

It aint to bad for me... I just know that you get judged more for being nervous and shaky.. So relax and if you make a mistake be able to laugh about it.

I figured I'd keep it simple: NO
I find that giving a speech always humiliates me, and I end up not-speaking natrually, lol. People get a better idea of what I mean if I were just to show them my presentation written out, rather than to speak about it.

I hate giving speeches. Least favorite class in school.
Stock the tank you have, not the tank you plan to have. Always have and use patience.

For those of you who want a SW tank and never have had one before or just starting out, read this blog entry from my blog on AC, it will give you a place to start.
