Perform the speech just as I showed you, clearly and smoothly. If you want to speak louder as bad actors usually do, I might willingly look for a newscaster to read the lines for me. Don’t overuse too many hand gestures; just do as few as possible, moderately, like this. If a powerful tempest of passion comes on you while you are on stage, keep your emotions moderate and smooth.

College begins and everyone is getting ready to return. The night before, my mind was going back and forth deciding whether I should take Public Speaking online or in campus. I decided to give it a try and take in campus. Maybe this way I could face my fear of speaking in public.
