I’ve been thrown into a management position I’m wildly unqualified for. I have great people skills but actually leading and organizing groups has been difficult. This series has helped me so much to feel better prepared and more confident at my job and in my personal life. Thank you for doing this series!

Love seeing Evelyn from the Internets! She is such an effective and engaging educator :) Thanks Crash Course!

Here is a sixteen-year-old student from Czech republic who struggles with talking in front of a crowd of people. I am really grateful for your videos, you help me a lot with my exams and I'm quite sure that I'm not the only student here. So thank you Crash Course for this kind of education! Greetings from Czech republic, Elissa.

[karinashraf]

Thanks a lot! I was just being frustrated about my crippling social anxiety and my youtube suggested this!

[RangerRuby]

I love when people talk about how to talk. It makes me feel like I can actually speak with confidence!

My brother is literally getting married TOMORROW and I have to do a speech... This couldn't have been better timed so thanks 😂💛

[BrianWiKleinschmidt]

At the beginning of this series, I did not like that this wasn't John or Hank Green; however, I am now really glad that it isn't as she does an amazing job with these. I also absolutely love the pop culture references.

4:22: Fun fact- people are cheering at the "We choose to go to the moon" line in the recording because they are reacting to the previous line: A joke about the unrelenting struggle it was for Rice to beat Texas in Football (speech was given at Rice).

I guess you got to keep it relatable

[JLenny]

you're such a great presenter, this is all so useful and effecient

This should just about be a required class in high school. I'm not in my mid 20s, I'm in my mid 40s and I've never even heard of some of this stuff...

I can do a lot of it, mind you, even socially awkward as I am, but I didn't know the terms, didn't understand any part of it. Not well enough to pick apart my own performance and understand what I did right OR wrong. I've always felt completely bewildered in a public-speaking situation. The idea of filming myself is downright terrifying...! Which probably means it's got the most potential to help me out, doesn't it?

[MarkFilipAnthony]

I always do this:
*Everyone in the audience are idiots that don't know anything, and the only person who can explain it to them is you.
*And also pretend that the thing you are currently talking about is the MOST IMPORTANT thing in the world

So that way you will always explain it and say it to make sure people will get it, because with this mentality: they NEED to know this,
but also you don't need to worry about yourself, because you are the expert everyone came to learn from.
