We Have Been There

Let’s not candy-coat it. Reciting combines the situations that cause most of us to recoil. Standing in front of a large audience and giving a speech –and not just any speech, but one without notes, that you have memorized, and the audience has a good idea about what you are supposed to be saying.

Getting to the point of being prepared can be a long road. Read below from those who have gone before you and learn how they faced their particular challenges and whether it was worth the effort.
