I suck under pressure

So, CNN was on campus today to get video footage for their 25th aniversary celebration and recruited a lot of different students to talk on camera about various issues that they consider important in the upcoming elections.

Yours truely got camera time, but I stammered and sweated my way through the whole thing.

This does not bode well for future venues that require interviews.

I'm no good under high pressure myself.. Especially in front of a vidcam. The lens can get very faceless and intimidating. Perhaps imagining yourself talking to an audience (the cameraman?) instead of the faceless lens would help?

BTW, a physicist from U of Chicago offers some free advice for Kerry here, and it looks like pretty good advice to me. Too bad Kerry probably doesn't read his blog.
