Earlier last month, my school gave me (and several other students) a job: To give a book talk the following year.
The thing is, I'm not comfortable with talking in front of large crowds. Neither do I have any idea what book to pick... Any tips? |

Deep breaths. It shouldn't be too big of a deal what book you read. Go to the library and start to read a few pages into a book and if keeps your attention and gives you ideas for what to speak about, get that book. I've never made a really good public speaker, but when I was in Speech class I had to confront that fear. For me, if I had to sit there and listen to other speeches while getting closer to my time to go I'd get more and more nervous. You might want to volunteer to go second or third. Plus, make sure you practice, practice, practice. |
