What's worse than having a stage fright?
-
sigh...
recently... kenna sabo. ehh.... not really a sabo... maybe it's my misunderstanding.
My boss told me that there will be a certain meeting and told me to prepare a certain powerpoint slides. She said that I have to present this while she would prepare another one that covered more details.
I had no idea what meeting this was going to be cuz I didn't receive anything from the organiser of this meeting. I didn't even know where this was going to be held. But I agar agar know should be at this certain place (no exact location was given to me).
Then on the actual day of the meeting, my boss fell sick and I had to present her part as well. At this point I kept thinking it's going to be just a meeting in a meeting room, with a big table and everybody would sit around it.
As I reached the meeting place, I was told to sign in. So I did so. And then I saw my name in bold. So I joked with the receptionist asking her why my name was so special, printed in bold. Then she said, you're the speaker mah!
I was wondering what the hell she was talking about.
Then I walked in. It was an auditorium and I was being arrowed by my boss to be the guest speaker. I didn't feel a little bit nervous at all cuz I totally had no idea what was going on. I simply brushed thru the powerpoint slides and just wanted to get it done and be over with it.
It was only in the evening then I sort of woke up and realised what was happening. For the rest of the evening, I was like.... "OMG! OMG! My presentation was like shiiiitttt" You see, I thought it was some small time meeting, so I didn't prepare myself. Somemore, I wasn't supposed to be the one talking so much on stage.
Really hate myself for such lousy performance. TAMADE! -
is that considered stage fright?i mean you just didn't prepared well for the slides, buy you managed to still do it..
i have friends who mumbles all his way through a presentation to a class of 20..

Q: What's worse than having a stage fright?
A: Stage collapse.

I think the key to having a good presentation is still preparing well.. knowing your materials at the tip of your fingers..

for me, i can't stand presenting something that i don't understand. almost all of my presentations were subjects i know inside out one. -
How about this
My ex-manager had to present this new product to another organization in an auditorium of about 100 people.
I don't have a hand in this presentation nor the product.
Day before she had a panic attack and refused to do it and arrowed it to me. I was only supposed to help her with the props and some stuff.
I spent one whole night learning the product and practising the presentation.
Was supposed to be 20 mins and when I arrived, they cut the time down to 10
I think I did a shitty job but my boss who is there said it was good. Anyway it was kinda freaky coz it was dumped on me last min. -
stage fright and cause ur heart attack
-
Flying spittle caught in the bright stage lights
Nuff said ! -
I think this is a case of miscommunication. You should have asked your boss nicely and properly about the content, format, audience and context of the presentation. Perhaps she should have told you, but if she didn't, you should have had the initiative to ask.
Well, take this as a lesson learnt. Make better preparations next time, and expect last minute contingencies and problems so that you won't be kar lang kar bok if they happen. -
stage fright is just a minor thing
the worse thing is to think that each and everyone of us are born to be employees deserving a certain amount of salary based on our qualification.
self-doubt our own abilities to make ourselves jump out of the rats race and gain financial freedom.
isn't that what we are facing now?
self-denial of the dreams we have in our minds.
just wanna share something which i read from retire young, retire rich

is that a bonus ? ... -
i also always like that..
too nervous and go thru everything fast.. lol.. -
Thinking about the last few briefings I went to, and the people who who were doing the presenting, , I'm VERY thankful nothing like that happened. I'd have to dig out my eyes otherwise.Originally posted by FireIce:mine wasn't so bad

So, in your case was it a good thing for the men or not? -
I remember there was this cute angmo boy who was supposed to do a presentation in class.. and he's got stage fright. So he went to gulp like 3 cans of cola, got a sugar high and when he was doing his presentation, he was totally HYPER and everytime he referred to his notes, his hands were shaking like nobody's business.. just shaking uncontrollably
-
i cant forget my worst presentation..
i was so damn nervous that my hands were shaking, the scripts made it obvious.. and k kept saying "moreover, moreover, moreover..." that my team mates were all looking at me with big big eyes, and asked me to calm down. then skipped my part due to time constraint... hahahahaha..
