How did you handle your college speech class? vol..stage fright

Also, dressin the part gets you brownie points. and make sure you do the small assignments, thats the reason I got a B+ instead of an A


SO TRUE.

It was something about what's more important for US companies: find ways to reduce waste and save the environment or getting money and help the economy more or less. I was on that money side of the argument and opened up my speech with WU-Tang Clan's "Cash, Rules, Everything, Around, Me C.R.E.A.M. Get the money Dollar, dollar bill y'all." Also threw in Tony Montana's "In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women. "

At the end of my speech I hit the class with one of these: Except I rephrased it as "What has two thumbs and team you should vote for?"

Snapped my fingers and Insert (name) and Team.

Got props from my professor on my use of quotes to strengthen my argument and got an A.

Tried it first time and was down right horrible. Didn't help that the class was at 730am. Dropped it, took it again and got a b+. it was dumb of me to let my fear of speaking infront of people I don't know get the best of me. Shoulda just took care of it then..

I never had a college speech class, however, I did have a business management class that forced me to present a strategic plan in the form of an thirty minute presentation in front of six real executives. TWO out of the five successful practices: 1) Looking at the top your audience's noggins- this imitates direct eye contact while eliminating confrontation and 2) Look your best- when you look good, you feel good, and annunciate louder. GOOD LUCK!

Just had my first speech class.
I guess it's okay so far but I have to do a how to speech for the next class.
Any ideas are much appreciated. All the how tos on youtube are fake. I almost thought about making a speaker till I found out household hacker was faking it.

I get mad nervous as it is making speeches so I did what I always do wenever i have a speech or presentation to do in class....pop a Xanny and smoke a fat one...that always has me mad relaxed in class.

Will do.
Never took a speech class in college. Had one freshman year of HS. Boy was I nervous the first time up. Too many hot girls in that class

i don't get it.. i don't think that's wrong.
I always thought it was "peace" (as in, "speak now or forever hold your peace) but I did a quick google search and it seems both terms can be used.

Honestly,

If you're prepared and know the topic your presentation is on, you will do better than you think.

Good luck.
