GixxerTravis Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I am pretty nervous, I'm going to a media event for 'Saved By The Helmet' at Genoa park in Columbus in the morning at 10am......... Up late writing a speech and drawing a blank, great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx3vfr Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Of the multiple radio and tv appearances I've done, the worst thing I deal with is the fact that I sound nothing like I do when I hear myself talk. But, a good friend who does a daily radio show told me no one likes the sound of their own voice and that made me get over the phobia of it pretty quick.

Scruit Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Meh, if I come to hear your story I don't want to hear what's in your speech. I want to hear what's in your heart. You have a compelling story to tell... Just speak, people will listen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfman1 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Good luck with your speech Travis. I am sure whatever you say will touch all who are willing to listen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekClouser Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 The best thing you can do is practice, practice, practice your opening. Once you are confident in your opening, you'll settle in and it'll be just like talking to your friends. Then just tell your story... people will listen! Good luck!

Tonik Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 FYI, the event was yesterday. So while the advice is great, it is useless!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GixxerTravis Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Welp, I cried. But that's okay... After I got my first couple sentences out it wasn't bad at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GixxerTravis Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 And so much for it being a "press conference" with only NBC 4 showing up...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GixxerTravis Posted May 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I am going to use it to make my voice heard by as many people as I can. If I can save one person's life, then it will be all worth it... Also it aired for less than a minute and they brushed it off like it was nothing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
