Default Terrified for speech&drama class - what are they like?

I've signed up for a speech and drama class, which is beggining in 3 weeks.

What are they like?
Do they help improve social skills?

I'm really scared.

Take care,
Annie.

I think both those clases are ideal for social interaction. If you're taking them, you should embrace it and do your best!

It's one course.. Named "speech&drama". ^-^ I've asked my cousin, and half of it is reading poetry, and the other half acting. You have to take exams though.. Eek! I'm OK with "real" (is that the right word to describe it?) speeches, like presentations, etc. When it comes to acting... Haha, I won't even /try/ and describe how bad I am! I've spoken to a few other's who have taken speech&drama and have had/have social difficulties, and they say it helps as long as you try hard in the class. Thankyou for your imput, I appreciate it!!!

You shouldn't be scared. Although, as Judi Dench once said, fear produces adrenaline which creates acting. Good luck.

There is a national public speaking organization in the U.S. called Toastmasters. I plan on joining up my local group. It is cheap and can only help. I'm not great at giving speeches either. I think it is mainly due to not having given many speeches and lack of interest in the topic that I have given speeches on.

Yes they improve social skills, and also improve your confidence it also may help your speech, projection, phrasing, pitch, pace, tone, etc...

Actually trying to awnser Annie's question..

But no need to be scared although your going to be its the same anywere if you join a new club. But before you know it you will start to enjoy it!
