If students were honest during presentations 

I felt this right in my soul

Me being a musical theatre nerd: I hate speaking in front of class but I would love to perform in front of hundreds, if not thousands of people in the audience

Believe it or not, I love public speaking. It's casual conversations with people that make tears run out of my eyes.

"Can I just write a paper instead?" The paper: 𝕋𝖍𝖊

Fun fact: The nervousness you feel doing public speaking? It NEVER goes away! You can do it hundreds of times again and again, but only way it gets better is if you're speaking in front of a smaller audience than what you're used to.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good she is at singing

"I'm really nervous!" Resumes to pull ukelele out of nowhere and sing confidently 😃

I actually made myself throw up at my presentation. Didn’t care what everybody would think. My hatred for presentations a public speaking trumped public humiliation in my book. And it worked. Teacher never made me do a presentation again. Word of mouth to other teachers helped keep me from presenting in other classes too the entire grade.

Having a public speaking class in colleges where I had to do 5 min of public speaking in my second language every week really helped me in life. It helped me understand that I would always hate public speaking and have nightmares about it a decade later.

I always get nervous when I’m gonna make a presentation, but I’m not afraid of making it, because everyone in my class forgets about it. I think the more time we’re not making exercises the better

2 weeks ago me and my friend made an insane presentation and it was apparently the best presentation our teacher heard in over 10 years of teaching. We are soon going to present to the head of English and later who knows.

tbh i hate presentations and i’m a teacher

Something I definitely don't miss about school. Although, I did enjoy giving a demonstration of professional wrestling in year 12.

Back in school when I was 14 years old I really had difficulties with presentations too. Now in job school with 22 years I'm nailing like noone else does in my class. My tip for you is to concentrate on what you are doing (concentrate on the thing you're presenting and not on the people). Also practicing and preparing helps, drink something before you start, deep Breath and then nail it. If you make a failure, don't let yourself be thrown out of line, if you quickly just accept it and keep going noone will notice (besides the teacher maybe because they saw more way presentations than your classmates). And most important : BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

How do some people can give a presentation without any anxiety and fear of public?

As someone who has severe social anxiety and almost failed 5th grade English, (my slides for a group presentation got lost and the leader gave me difficult slides to present but during the presentation, the kid who originally had the slides didn't pay attention and presented them instead so my group leader announced to the class that my slides had gotten lost and that I would describe the slides myself without me knowing any of this so I just stared at across a classroom with about 20 pairs of eyes plus my teacher staring directly at me and I couldn't bring myself to say a single word and just broke down in front of everyone so the teacher gave me a 0) , this is relatable on so many fucking levels. Where has this song been my whole life?

I love this whole 'despised about things we are forced to do in class' skit, so I'm really happy it's back (Please make more of these)

I felt this on a spiritual level. Once in 6th grade I was so scared of getting up in front of the whole class to present, so instead, when I was called, I just laid my head on my desk, refused to go to the front and cried. I never did actually do that presentation. I also cried when my German teacher asked me to read my German presentation in front of the class. I was never good at German, so I had fudged most of the presentation, and was not expecting her to actually ask us to read it. I started bawling from stress, and put my head on my desk in shame, while my teacher was asking why I was making such a big fuss about it. I was too emotional to speak, so several of the other students had to step in and tell her that public speaking is the #1 fear in the US. She was surprised, and asked if I could take a class in it to get more used to it. The problem with that was, I had taken one already. Only a year or a half before hand. I couldn't speak still, but luckily, one of the kids that took that class with me was also in my German class and told her that I had in fact taken a class and we learned absolutely nothing to help with my crippling fear of it. I don't think I ever actually read that out loud either. What I have learned from presentations in school- 1) I hate them 2) They teach us nothing 3) I am an introvert 4) I hate public speaking with a fiery passion of a thousand suns (Also, when faced with insurmountable anxiety, I want to curl up in a ball and cry in a corner where nobody can see me.)

Just had a presentation today. I was nervous af. I was out of breath and I talked WAY too fast, but everyone looked at me in awe and then told me I raised the bar too high for them. I find it hard to believe, but I'm super happy with the compliment ❤️

This video is relatable to different sorts of people, like maybe with severe social anxiety or just generally scared of talking in front of people. Though I don't really fall into either one of those categories, I am still a shy introvert who does not like to take oral exams, especially Cantonese oral exams I don't know why, and I also quite dislike the institutionalized education system with a weird passion. But then it might be a surprise to those who knew me as an introvert that I would be willing to present, even when I am a secondary 6 student now and when I was a primary school student. It might be due to my expressiveness (as you can see in my RU-vid videos) and honesty, which now I would be frank like, "Okay, so...uh...I honestly think that..." and go on with it without being uncomfortable, as I know how to speak. All in all, one to their own opinions, I suppose.

"I also hate inflation" Weimar Republic, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe: *I'm here to tell you right now...we don't care*

I know a girl who fainted during a presentation, she tried rescheduling it because she wasn't feeling good that day however the professor kept pushing her to present so midway through it she fainted, hit the back of her head against the board then the side of her head against the floor. Needless to say the professor was shitting bricks for a week. The good thing is that other than some minor concussions she was fine and gave the stupid presentation few days later to a now mostly empty classroom since it was the end of that semester.

That's another nice thing about being homeschooled. I didn't have to do stuff like this that only serve to make students uncomfortable and give bullies a reason to pick on them.

When I literally make presentations while dealing with anxiety attacks every time because I hate them with a passion. I'm like "hey I can barely breathe right now but I'mma tell you all about this stuff not even our teacher cares about 'cause I don't wanna fail, okay? Okay. Please keep your snarky whispers for the end of this will ya?"

Damn that song, both the vocals and the melody sounded WAY TOO amazing for such a short skit! Take a sub, girl!

I felt the “can I just write a paper” One of my teachers actually gave us a choice

Natalie: i'm nervous Natalie: I hate my teacher but i wont tell her cause that will make her sad Teacher: I'm done

Whenever I do presentations, I always tend to try and not talk in a monotone voice. I usually add some jokes in the mix and and the very least try to be myself. The only reason I do this is so that you can’t actually tell how terrified I am while speaking. The only thing your listening to is me joke around but also get the information out.

0:46 she smiled

If I was a teacher and had that performance, I'd just love to hear more

Cool fact: All my teachers say that the presentations we make are for making us more confortable with public speaking but I've just became more and more anxious ab it at each presentation I do so it got so bad that I refuse to do presentations now and don't even actually talk with anyone on school, tbh I got better, not on socialising but mentally better, all the forced interactions the teatchers made me do just made me tired, now that I don't interact with anyone at all and don't force myself to do things that push me way too much or make me unconfortable my grades are getting worse but I'm feeling way better, idk why people put grades above mental health

"I don't like speaking in front of people because I feel like everyone hates me and is gonna judge me" Honestly, same.

we need the full part of her singing!!! WHO'S WITH ME

So relatable And your voice is beautiful

your songs are actually so perfect and procrastination is pretty much my life

Can we appreciate how good she's at singing and playing the guitar. Like wow gurl you rock ✨✨✨✨✨

The last presentation I've ever made got me into so intense panic mode I stood up, opened my mouth... and my mind went completely blank, I apologized and said I can't do it. I don't think students minded that much, but the teacher was livid.

I'm singing this at my next presentation with my friends, that group chorus is gonna be fire.

i actually burst into tears one time :")

This song is a boP- ik it's a joke but, how is this so good?!?!

We need a group-presentation version of the song. Where I am the one who has a panic attack, while presenting my part, while the other 3 people try to figure out on what topic we are even presenting and are discussing on who has to present the part of the 'sick' kid. And we are just reading whats written on their flash cards, even though the teacher dispises it... And, how every group presents the same topic and your presentation is by far the worst. And, that no one looks on these posters, but that PowerPoint is also hell.

That was........so amazing 10000/10

The last presentation that I did I shook so bad during it that my teacher didn't make me do anymore.

Want tips for presenting? Here ya go: 1. like the random guy on tiktok said, choose three people (left, middle and right) and just speak looking at them, nobody will notice and you will seem to present to the entire class. (i don't use this personally but i tried once and it went well) 2. remember that's just your classmates. you know them, they know you, you see them every day and you will see them again. 3. pretend it's not graded. just you talking about stuff you like, no teacher. 4. convince yourself the topic is interesting and research as much as you can. 5. the method i use: write just the basics on your slides, research EVERYTHING the evening before and then just repeat everything you remember. makes you seem smart as fuck, teachers like people who don't just read slides. also jokes. add jokes. or if you have something funny to say go for it. nobody will care and the best outcome is a few people laugh. 6. pretend you're explaining the topic to your friend. aybe even look at your friend while presenting, it makes you more relaxed. 7. look at your presentation if you have troube looking at the audience. if it's something as simple as a school presentation they will think you are just reading the text, but really it just helps with focusing. if not the presentation, then just find something else that will be your anchor point. take a quick look around the audience every once in a while and go back to your anchor, whether it be the presentation or someone's bag in the back of the classroom. you don't have to spend the entire 15 minutes looking at your audience, the reminder nobody even cares about the work you put into presenting this. just remember to look at them every once in a while so they remember you are still speaking to them Ngl i used to be so bad at presentations but somehow got better. And i still forget i am actually good at presenting every time we have to present. Every time i will still be nervous as fuck and anxious and all that shit but when the time comes i will always be the most extroverted and talkative person anyone has ever seen. The teachers even compliment my improvisation and presentation skills (honestly that's probably what made me get better at it, i basically live for praise). Just relax, remember it ain't that serious and take it easy.

1:22 That “class presentations” was absolutely amazing!

You are really good at acting, singing and playing instruments. Never give up or let anyone stop you! You have so much potential!

amazing as always, Elise!!

Omg i CANT get enough of your channel!

this is another level of presentations

1:07 yooooo if a classmate sang this masterpiece in class I’d pay attention

Elise's tutorial on how to give presentations: *sing a song*

I also sang during the presentation of my graduation thesis. It wasn't planned, but was approved as entertaining by the audience.

Omg i relate to this song so much cuz public speaking is one of my biggest fears and i just found out that i have to do a presentation in a few months srsly if i have to do it i’d probably have a panic attack

Why is the music so good?? Like, if a music had just that rhythm, I would LOVE to hear it

I mean, there is that one kid that wears shorts in December and falls asleep and when we ask why he says “because I can”. The genius Elise has given us.

Love this girl. She ALWAYS makes me smile

the fact your sister quit being a teacher a few days ago makes this even more funny

The weird thing is I get so anxious before a presentation, but as soon as I get out there I just can’t shut up lmao 😂😂😂

I like presentations because then i can finally speak when and what i want

CAN EVERYONE JUST GIVE HER A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR HER SINGING AND HER PLAYING THE UKELELE 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I literally have never done a presentation where I don't cry. The only presentation I can get through is when it's done as a group

Natalie always has to be that one 🤞

OK Elise, this one pretty much pushed me over the line from "I find your videos entertaining" to "I absolutely love your videos"! I teach music in an elementary school, and am totally showing this one to my 5th grade Ukulele class. (I guarantee 90% of them hate presentations!)

For those of you here who are college bound, please know there are alllwayyys presentations in many of your classes. As someone who was so afraid of them I once as a 4th grader drank dirty dish water to make myself sick so I could stay home (didn't work I just puked n was fine) I had to figure out a way to get through them. I did. Here's what to focus on: 1. You are not the only one nervous. While you're presenting, know the others are too busy being worried about themselves going next and aren't really listening anyway. 2. No matter how bad you do, someone's is always just as bad or worse it's common. 3. PRACTICE IT FIRST! Never never neverrr go up there without a plan and the knowledge that you're ready. It's the not feeling ready or good enough that makes us nervous. So practice it. 4. Don't take it so seriously. If you mess up, smile and say whoops and just keep going. 5. FINALLY...please always remember that confidence doesn't come out of nowhere. It comes with knowing you are competent. Confidence is nothing without competence. 💯

The lyrics: If I’m gonna be honest I prepared this presentation 5 minutes before class started I love procrastination I’ll try to be excited Sharing boring information Of the history of why Sporks are underrated Class presentations make me wanna throw up My teacher keeps telling me to grow up She says that big kids don’t cry So why are there tears running out of my eyes No kid in class is even listening to me That one kid in the back is starting to fall asleep He’s also wearing shorts in the middle of December I’ll add some more fluff And now this presentations over Class presentations make me nauseous I always try to be cautious But I don’t say I hate them in front of my teacher Cuz that might make her sad The teacher: Your literally telling me now I hate presentations I hate presentations I hate public speaking I also hate inflation I also hate the way I cry in class every- The teacher: Okay that’s enough I changed my mind Johnny you can go first Was it really that bad?

Wow that was the most amazing song ever such inspiring lyrics

you need to make the full version

If I was the teacher I would have given that girl an A+ for creativity and amazing musical talent!!!

You have such a beautiful voice and your so creative with your song writing

The best song I have ever listened after your first day in school song ❤️

Ohh myy godddddd! So relatable 🤣 Can we please make it to 2 Million on this channel before the year ends?❤️❤️

I have always dreaded presentation up until the point I've gotten started and I never wanted to get picked. They're usually not too bad once I have gotten started and I am left wondering why I am dreading it so much. Have I enjoyed some presentations? Yes. Have I bailed presentations? Also yes. We had a presentation about the menstrual cycle in biology once. We made a song, it was one of the few fun presentations. I bailed on a presentation on "beginnings" because my group didn't include me, they played games when we were given time to prepare, and afterwards when they stuck their heads together I wasn't asked about my opinion. I wasn't given a choice, I was expected to do what they had decided when they told me less than 15 minutes before class, so I wasn't going to make a fool of myself and left them to figure things out themselves. I left for a driving lesson instead and ditched school. It's been 9 years, I don't know how it went and I don't care.

I need this on spotify D:

I actually love presentations because I feel ELA is comforting

"That's it Johnny you can go first" Johnny: **pulls out another instrument**

Okay, this was very relatable actually- And you sing amazingly! I loved listening to you!

I have this song memorized…

If presentations are embarrassing and annoying enough, one time I realised it'd have to be my turn soon and just burst into tears in my seat and everyone around me crouched around like I was a little child and just asked "Omg are you okay?" as though they were talking to a baby. A GIRL WAS TREATING ME LIKE A BABY, SERIOUSLY- SHE WAS LIKE 'SHHH DON'T CRY IT'S ALRIGHT'-

I have so many bad experiences about school presentation. It all started with my soft voice. I was a shy and nervous child. The one thing that I heard the most is “Stop! I can’t hear your voice!” Now I realise it’s an ironic evolution about my past presentation. Teachers! I’m trying so hard to let you hear my voice. I really thought I speak up but you still can’t hear it from the back of the classroom. I was nervous and my voice already soft. It makes me more softer than normal but I didn’t know. It’s ironic. When I’m 10, you can’t hear my voice. When I’m 13, classmates sitting in the first roll can’t hear my voice. When I’m 15, I can’t hear my voice. I think I got selective mutism. I could do group discussion in 10 but it get worse when time goes by. No matter how many times you told me to speak up or telling me you never see a student failed on an easy presentation in your life or you can’t end the class if I don’t present well. My answer is always “I tried ALREADY and I can’t control it! I don’t know why my brain being so dumb on my voice!” I never speak in normal voice. My family, my friends knows I have a soft voice most of the time. Do you think I want to fail on all presentations and discussions? Once I suddenly got amnesia and forgot everything in the midway. Even I was well-prepared and have a note on my hand. I can’t recall and read anything. Now I have no confidence on presentation and unwilling to be happy when I prepared it. I don’t want to turn out actually really bad. What am I happy for? For disappointment? Even if they thought my presentation is good I still not willing to be glad about it.

If I'm being honest, I prepared this presentation 5 minutes before class started, I love procrastination I'll pretend to be excited sharing boring information About the history of why sporks are underrated Class presentations make me wanna throw up My teacher keeps telling me to grow up She says that big kids do not cry So why are there tears running out of my eyes? Nobody in the class is even listening to me That one kid in the back is starting to fall asleep He's also wearing shorts and it's the middle of December I'll add some more fluff and now this presentation's over Class presentations make me nauseous I always try to be cautious That I don't say I hate them in front of my teacher cuz that might make her sad I hate presentations I hate presentations I hate public speaking I also hate inflation I hate the way I cry in class every day

I think teachers actually already know this, but are still havin fun

Okay but why no one talk about the fact she censored the word "grow up" ( 0:57) LMAO. Maybe I'm the only one who found it weirdly funny

Class presentation makes me anxious~ and I start trembling very excess ~

i remember in my 6th grade english class we had to do this TedEd presentation i’ll never forget. the entire buildup to my turn was filled with other people going “TEEHEE IM SO NERVOUS” then doing it perfectly fine while i was dreading silently in the background. when it was my turn i was able to push out the first half but then eventually i just. stopped. like my brain finally caught up to what i was doing and didn’t wanna say words anymore. all i could do was stand there looking at everyone with an open mouth that wouldn’t work and i eventually turned to the teacher and all she did was wave her arms and say “go on!” HUH?? EXCUSE ME?? I PHYSICALLY CANT MY VOCAL CHORDS WONT LET ME. i was eventually able to pump out the rest but god i hated it. and ofc she took of points for it. luckily i’m much better at presenting now but goddamn.

0:07 that random southern accent is really funny

I gave an a presentation on appearance vs. reality in Hamlet, and I prepared the presentation like 30 minutes before class started and I came late (my mom let me stay home until English class started for that reason, thx mom 😳) The only practice I had was in my car presenting it to my mom and I was extremely nervous once I went up and I thought it was super obvious while I was presenting. I wanna be a professional actress so I wanted to present and make it look natural but I felt so nervous, so afterwards I asked my teacher if I looked nervous and he said I actually looked really confident and I presented like I was having a conversation and not just reading a script. I got my mark back for my oral communication and it was an A- and I got such a boost of confidence from it, I loved it and hated it at the same time but I’m so glad my teacher couldn’t tell I was nervous 😭😌

1:42 My life in a nutshell:

90% of times I do a presentation I actually end up crying in the middle of it and I have to sit down or leave the classroom for a bit

My teacher laughed at a joke a student made during my presentation, was really funny 💀 then I never went to school again. Am fine now was years ago, the only regret I still somewhat have is not sticking up for myself more, at that moment I was just glad school was over even though it wasn't the right way.

1:02 felt this in my bones

i don’t understand why they just can’t let us be; like do they understand that there are many types of personalities and some of us are literally going through hell when giving a presentation??? I throw up, get headaches and can’t sleep before a presentation and teacher tell me it’s for practice?? 😭

This is it. This is the video I'll show for the class presentation due next week :D

Natalie should’ve automatically gotten an A just from that song

LOL! That was hilarious! Loved the song!

You should do more of these!

1:49- ur done. ur done

She can take any words and it’s still beautiful! I’m never going to get over her voice 🥺
