If I needed an opening line, that's what I'd use, but instead, I'm going to use this little sound effect toy my mom sent me (my mom always sends me weird shit) to make a farting noise while everyone's eyes are closed. The presentation is about sound in film, and the point I'm trying to make is that when you can't see the sound, you make assumptions about what it really is. Like, they're going to assume it's a fart, but it's really just me pushing a button on a machine. Crazy shit, right?
From 8th grade until my sophomore year of college I was absolutely TERRIFIED of public speaking. I wouldn't even be able to do it because I'd get horribly sick from just thinking about it. From 2005-November 2009, I didn't do a single presentation in front of a class. Then I had to do one for a class in college, and I said to myself, "You know what, I'm just going to suck it up and do this thing." I was really nervous, but one thing that helped me get through it is thinking of Y2J's first promo on RAW, where he comes out and says "Welcome to RAW. IS. JERICHO!!!" I thought of how awesome it would be if I just went up to the front of the class, flipped the table over and went, "Welcome to STYLE AND EDITING. IS. JONNY!" (There, now you know my name). Also, thinking of The Rock's promos sometimes helps me feel confident, but I don't think talking about turning something sideways and shoving it up someones' ass is appropriate for a class presentation.
