After going 4 years without doing a public presentation, I did one on campus Tuesday afternoon; and was COMPLETELY nerve-wracked beforehand. Weird thing is, as soon as I began speaking, it’s like all the nerves went out the window. I was a bit surprised at how confident I sounded throughout the whole thing.------------------ Cancer Rising 2nd House Leo Sun 3rd House Leo Mercury 6th House Sagittarius Moon & Pluto 1st House Cancer Venus & Mars 9th House Pisces Jupiter conjunct MC.

i've been told nearly everything i say sounds sarcastic and like i'm being a dick, pretty sure that doesn't counti am always confident in what i say though, whether or not i should be and even if i know i'm completely wrong i'll say it with confidence (sometimes i just like to say things i don't agree with to watch whoever i'm speaking to give their reasons for saying something i actually agree with) IP: Logged |

I've got my Mercury in the 5th house, which makes it subtly Leonian-esque. (but isn't in Leo). I'm usually fairly quiet in normal conversation. But if ever I have to do public speaking (rarely), I do get loud, and my voice actually seems to boom. I sound more confident than I am. Some have said that when for example, I yell to call out someone's name from afar, my voice gets so loud some people cover their ears or say something like "omg you're too loud my head's going to explode!" I sort of remember when I was younger, at a museum and I called out to a friend (yes I know, appropriate museum decorum :P), a group of people getting a tour sort of ducked and covered their ears, and stared over at me in annoyance because my voice got so loud. My partner has his Merc in Capricorn, in the 5th house. He's also normally quiet, but, when he gets loud, whoa, he actually gets so dam loud that even I wince. His voice has a wide range, and he even used to sing baritone in a choir.

^ lol same. I could be completely detached, or even somber and serious, and it'll be thought of as sarcasm at times. On the flip side some people won't detect my sarcasm, think I'm serious, so I'll have to add disclaimers "that was sarcasm." But what's your Merc in?

@Lalafortunaea: i have leo mercury
people can usually tell when i'm being sarcastic, it's just i alsoaccidentally just sound like a complete dick thanks to the tone of my voice the weird flipside is i'm also told my voice can be soothing and people usually like it (singing or speaking) so i'm not sure what to make of that loud though yeah, and confident whether i am or not i know how to sound it IP: Logged | |
