Your recitation makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

Eons ago, in college, I volunteered to be a classical DJ for the evening classical music program on the university radio station. And I swore up and down I was going to impress the bejeezus out of everyone. Wrote out all my notes and everything. And as the segue music faded, I turned on the microphone, ready to go into my spiel, and thought...omigod. There's ten thousand people out there listening to every word I say. Every stutter. Every bungled pronunciation. Every crack in my voice.

And I froze. Completely and utterly. For fifteen seconds. Longest fifteen seconds of my life. The DJ who was doing sidesaddle training me finally flipped on a commercial with a sigh of forbearance. And then the commercial ended, and for some reason, I was completely fine after that.
