(36) I get nervous public speaking, but at odd times. I don't get nervous teaching and I hardly ever get nervous at work. I can talk to crowds of 50+ in these scenarios...no problem.
But speaking for a class presentation, forget it: my heart starts racing, my voice starts shaking. And the worst thing you can do is notice that your voice is shaking. Because then it shakes more. My hands shake too. Usually my voice drops two octaves as well. So I sound like James Earl Jones without self-esteem.
In these scenarios, I shouldn't try to crack jokes. But I do and no ones laughs.
