Today, I went to one of my school's speech team's meet.
Before, I didn't really know what speech was about or how it worked and stuff, even though nearly ALL my friends are in speech.
So.. I decided I wanted to see after hearing my friend's stories about all the other competetors.
The first category I watched was duos. That's just two people who give their speech together. They can't look at each other or touch each other during their presentation.
All of them were so funny! Everyone has so much charisma and they're so into their parts! I thought it would be a lot more serious or hardcore than it really is.
I also watched storytelling. I knew a bit more about this one because my boyfriend is in this one and he'd practice telling me stories. Everyone who performed was just amazing! I'm still in awe of how much fun it is. Aaah.
Now I'm really tired though. So this probably doesn't make much sense.

Speech and drama is awesome. I did a few Speech pieces at the Eisteddfod last year (even though I don't actually get formal lessons) and it was great fun. Everyone was so non-serious about it, but when they went up to perform, they were all really good. I actually got a first place for my impromptu speech, third for my impromptu reading and highly commended for my recitation championship. It was really cool.
You should try it some time, Pants! It's always fun to perform (even more fun than it is to watch).

I don't know.
I have stage fright. Dx I shake really hard. It's really funny.
I do want to try it now, it looks fun.

I don't do speech, but I know what it's like to have really bad stage fright. Two years ago, I was performing my first solo piece in a special choir concert here at college. I made it through the piece no problem, but my choir director makes fun of me still to this day because she said I was clutching the music stand so hard I was white knuckled. I'm the prime example of stage fright in our choir and she mentions the story every year. It's really kind of embarrassing, but it's all good!

Gah. Having someone tell that story would make the stage fright even worse for me.

I still get embarrassed every time she tells it, but it doesn't make my stage fright worse.
Kinda strange like that, actually...

I used to get stage fright. I got over it by meditating before a performance. That or being a complete idiot and overdosing on sugar. Both methods work...

We're both such magnificient liars.[
Sounds cool!
I have a problem pronouncing and confusing words when I talk so I don't do the public speaking lark. Even though I done speech and drama when I was younger and used to sing in this classical concert thingy. I think, when I stopped both of them, I just sort of stopped talking and diminished any ability I had to say things without stumbling over them...
