Most people (around 80%) have some apprehension about public speaking. I try to really encourage good preparation and rehearsal; we try deep breathing, etc. I firmly believe that everyone can become a competent speaker. A great orator- perhaps not, but effective.
One thing that is particularly alarming to me is the number of communication majors who hate public speaking. WTF?
