 You can't obtain an edge until you're sharp.  You can't get a sharp, until you have an ex. or is that a shark....

So you're saying that I need to practice more.  Right, but on whom?  Or what?

Seems to me you've got all the audience you need.  I would suggest however that based on your postings here, you very much enjoy hearing yourself talk or seeing your words in print.  At the same time, I must confess that my eyes start to blur over when I see you've posted something else as I really don't believe you have a lot to say.

Not trying to be mean about it, that's just my first response.

thinkin back.. the bold i have to agree with. i dont know what your speeches sound like, but theyre long, monotnos, and dont really cut to the point your audience is not going to be interested. a good speech is long enough to fill the time limit, short enough to get the point across, funny enough to keep the audience focused on you, and guess what....it doesnt sytray from the topic at hand.

Penguin you always appear to be talking down to people...
you know with that condescending tone in the majority of your posts.
If you're doing that with with public speaking ... well I'd guess people would grow tired of that fairly quick. Try toning down the condescending rhetoric and add some simple substance.  What do I know about it... I'm just a troll to some.  Those some would be the smug, selfabsorbed knowitalls who just hate to be told their poop does in fact stink. The majority though are  the PNGed shades that get outed. 
I'll leave it to you to figure what group you belong to.

Oof, that's harsh.  Now I have to figure out how to not come across that way.

Good examples to emulate would be widewing and guppy.  Those are just off the top of my head. A prime example of whom not to emulate a majority of the time would be krusty.  Take a look a the posting styles of those I listed and see who you come across most like. If you can't figure that out... just look at who gets the most grief.

That's not even funny, and I can laugh at some messed up things.

I hope it wasn't funny, I was dead serious.

I've read a lot of post by you. I have yet to be moved or impressed.
You seem to be so impressed with yourself I don't why you bother worrying about what anybody thinks.
However if you're really looking for a target audience to impress, I have a suggestion.
