A lot of people just don't want to draw attention to themselves, even if they have something worthwhile to say that others need to hear.<BR/><BR/>In my artwork it took even longer because it can reflect even more of my soul than my physical being, and I still don't think I could sing for anyone publicly for all that I have taken voice lessons. (When we were supposed to sing solo for the group at midterms, I freaked and drove six hours home - the flight instinct took over.)<BR/><BR/>The big thing that helped me immensely was acting as a tour guide when working through the Student Conservation Association at Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in New Hampshire. I had to overcome my fear of public speaking just to do my job. It was easier when I wasn't talking about myself and was imparting information that most visitors didn't know, but there was a lot involved in getting to that point and being comfortable.ChaoticBlackSheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17438714747056045144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3472465465808694449.post-34144760475776547012009-02-19T09:19:00.000-06:002009-02-19T09:19:00.000-06:00Well said Jennifer.
