Worried for Nothing

I feel personally that I rushed a little it had been a while since I had been in front of a group but I think I’ll be alright in the future now that I have got back in the habit. I also think I could have read the story better, maybe put better emphasis on certain words or phrases. I just need to take it easy slow down and speak more dynamically and I think I will be fine.

My biggest worry for the reading speech was not getting up and speaking in front of everyone it was actually the fact that what I read was my own writing. I have always worried about what others would think about my writing but now I’m starting to get over that. So far this class has helped me a little on that path.

The fact that people requested to read the rest of my little story actually pleasantly surprised me. So to those who enjoyed my short story and made the request to read it, I am currently updating and revising the parts I did not read I class. when it is finished within the next couple days I will let you know on here so that I can lend those who want to read it a copy.

What i expected

So far this class is about what I was expecting it to be. A little more free-flowing than I originally thought but still about what I had generally expected.

listening is probably the hardest thing for me because with the way my mind works i will hear something and it can trigger a chain reaction in my head bouncing from one cell to the next that can make me zone out and start running new story or video ideas rolling through my head based on what someone might say. I generally have to fight to stay focused on one thing in particular most of the time.

The part about speaking in front of others doesn’t bother me as much as you would think. Yes, I get nervous; and yes, i have to control it. however I have yet to meet a stage performer or acter or any other person ‘ in the public eye who doesn’t get at least a little nervous from time to time.
