1. I though it was interesting that Winston Churchill blanked out when he was giving a speech to the Parliament.
2. This article can relate to how the number one fear is public speaking.I think it's weird that public speaking fear is before death.
3.In the article, I learned some cool things that I didn't know about.It's funny that people actually picture the audience naked. If I did that, I would probably start laughing.
The kids got nervous. I have never been but I've seen someone who was nervous.
1. I think that it was really interesting to find out that Winston Churchill used to be afraid of speaking in public.
2. I think that it's weird how Antonio Louw doesn't see people have really bad stage fright in Europe and in other parts of the world.
3. I think it's weird how Americans fear public speaking over death.
1. Many people get very nervous when they have to talk to a large group of people.
2. A couple of times when you can get very nervous is when you are giving a speech or talking in a play.
3. You get even more nervouse if a teacher, coach or someone you look up to is watching you do something infront of a large group.
1.I thought that Churchill forgot his speech was interesting.
2. I Also can commit way in advance and then not want to do whatever I am supposed to do.
3. I also thought I is weird to pretend your Audience is naked.
#1 it sounds so stupid that a rock band singer collapesed from stage fright even though he had probably been on stage many times
#2 I didn't know that people in the US have worse stage fright than lots of other countries
#3 It is funny that some people think that there audience is naked. Wouldn't that make you start laughing and look wierd?
I enjoyed how it said that even very important people also have stage fright.
Also i found it helpful when it said possible ways to overcome stage fright
i think that its wierd that many people choose death over public speaking because im not afraid of public speaking or being on stage
1. I think that it was really interesting to find out that Winston Churchill used to be afraid of speaking in public!
2.Also i found it helpful when it said possible ways to overcome stage fright.

2.i think it was strange america was more afraid of giving speeches then other countries.

and u wouldnt know what they looked like naked
1. I thought it unusual that singers Carly Simon and Andy Partridge, have both collapsed on stage from stage fright!
2. Also, I never would have guessed that Winston Churchill forgot what his speech was, while telling the Parliament.
3. Lastly, I don't see how society's number one fear would be public speaking, even before death or something more extreme!
1.I think that the woman who fainted on stage was definitely not the only person who would do that. I think many people get so freaked out that they can'y handle the pressure, and they just faint.
2. I also agree that if you aren't comfortable speaking in front of many people that you should write out a speech, and bring it up with you.
3. I think it was interesting that Louw made people go in a room alone, and then add all the other people after they got more comfortable. I really think that it is weird to touch the walls, but if it helps that is all that matters I guess.
