The Incredibles 2 Presentation
I choose to do a presentation on "The Incredibles 2" because it is something that I have been looking forward to and following for as long as it had been announced (almost 10 years ago).
The return of one of Pixar's beloved franchises after almost a fifteen-year hiatus is exciting; with updated animation and a returning voice cast and director, let's just hope that the long-awaited film is up to the hype.
Even though I was talking about something I am very passionate about, the utter fear I felt that I would need to get up and talk to a room of almost forty people was almost unbearable. I have a severe social anxiety disorder and I find it difficult to talk to a couple of strangers let alone a whole room of them.
When the day the presentation came, I was so nervous that I kept going over my flashcards even though I had practised it several times before. I had asked to go first so that I could get it over with as quickly as possible, so when it was my turn I was shaking, sweating and my throat was scratchy. When I spoke I could tell that my voice was shaking and it was obvious that I was scared, which in turn made me more anxious. I had messed up the order of my flashcards so I started to just repeat stuff that I had memorised and then before I knew it, I had done it!
After everyone had finished clapping and I had sat down, I got a huge adrenaline rush so I was still shaking; not from the nerves but from the high.
It was nice to talk about something that I was truly passionate about and that I knew people would also enjoy hearing about and even though the whole experience was absolutely terrifying at first, it wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it would be so the next one should be a lot easier.
