My greatest fear about giving a speech, is the fear that I will stumble over my words and freeze up. I normally have no issue with giving speeches, but whenever I mess up, and say something I didn't mean to, I end up turning into stuttering mess. My fear of coming off as unprofessional and sloppy, is what causes me to slip up and not recover from it, however I hope these speeches will help me get use to talking, and possibly messing up, in front of people.

My biggest fear about giving speeches is that I will get choked up or embarrass myself. It is a fear that almost everyone has and it has made speaking in front of a crowd very difficult for me. I hope to overcome this and become a better speaker in the future.

My greatest fear about giving a speech is not knowing what to say or forgetting what I was talking about. Anytime I am explaining something or telling a story, I forget mid sentence what I am saying or I can not find a way to put what I am thinking into words. When speaking in front of others, I try so hard for this not to happen, it ends up happening more than it should because it is all I am thinking about.

One of my greatest fears about giving a speech is messing up. If I start messing up I'll know that I'll keep making mistakes and make it even worse. Then once that happens all I think about is messing up and it'll just bother me for the rest of the day.

My greatest fear about giving a speech is probably not thinking before i say something. i don't want to say something thats going to offend anybody or that it might make me look bad. I also fear that is a stutter on a word , it wouldnt really sound professional if i cant say it right.

My greatest fear when it comes to giving a speech it's probably mispronouncing a word and making fun of. Especially since im limited English its hard for me to pronounce words correctly. I fear that people will be in the back of the classroom making jokes about me.

My biggest fear about giving a speech is losing my train of thought and going blank. Embarrassment is something that I have always feared. Being in front of a large group of people makes freezing in the middle of a speech all the worse. I would also fear people talking about my incident way after it had happened.

My greatest fear of giving a speech is probably talking in front of my classmates. I can talk all day and night to my friends but it's just something about getting infront of a crowd I'm not use to makes me super nervous. When I become nervous I begin to shake and get timid which I hate so much.

The scariest part of speaking infornt of people is reading the speech. I don't mind talking before a crowd but I hate not knowing exactly what I'm going to say. I have never been the best reader, but when I read with my peers I begin to stutter a lot and mess up.

Giving a speech in front of a group is scary because their all looking at you. What if I forget exactly what I've practiced or pronounce a word wrong, many things could go wrong in my head. Im a very shy and quite person so giving speeches isn't going to come natural to me in a day.

One of my greatest fears, like many others, is stumbling over my words and having grammer or spelling errors in my presentation. Another fear is that I won't hit the topic quite like I wanted or someone doesn't understand. You make the presentation to convey a thought or an idea. If those you are trying to present to do not understand your topic, then you have failed your presentation.

My greatest fear while giving a speech is not figuring out how to put my words together and saying "um" throughout my sentences. I want to work on conquering that as I give my speeches. It would probably take a while to get in the habit of not doing that but I believe I can do it.

What i fear most about giving speeches is the fact that I'm speaking to my peers. I think for me it would be easier to give a speech to people who are a different age then be. Speaking in front of my peers scares me because us as a whole aren't very nice people.
