I actually appreciate that this isn't the smoothest lecture I've ever watched. There is good info here presented in an honest way.
Something I find more difficult than talking about my own work for 30minutes is talking about someone else's work for 1hr. I tried to moderate a talk with a artist/designer last week and all the conversations we had in meeting beforehand were brilliant. While on stage though, I realized that half of what we had talked about before were my 2cents on things and that the people who came that night were not there to listen to me go on and on about shit. This means that I had to have like 5 times as many questions to ask in a natural conversational way that didn't make it seem like I was just reading off a bunch of cards. In the end, it was nerve-wracking, and I realized just how fluent and prepared you have to be when giving a talk on something. I also think that the only way to get better at speaking is to just keep doing it.
