I took part in a Drama audition My college is going on in online mode. There was an online audition for a play/drama in my college. Though, I do not have any interest in dramatics, I took part in it just to get an opportunity to practice in front of other people. Previously, in my online classes, I used to stutter severely while asking doubts. This time, i kept my goal to simply read out my lines( with my webcam on) like how you read from a book without any dramatic effect/ intonation in a very relaxed manner. Although i probably would have ended up last in the audition, I didn't stutter in front of the other people in the audition. I feel really satisfied with myself mainly because i took an effort to speak in front of other people regardless whether i stuttered/ or not.
