I was in a play for 8th grade and when I was on stage with a classmate the script called for certain props to be brought on, but the numbskulls backstage misplaced them so they were delayed for a few minutes. We tried to keep up some semblance of conversation onstage to make it seem natural, and we were told afterward it looked perfectly fine, but it sure felt incredibly awkward.

I usually do pretty well with speeches and presentations - at least if I put forth any effort.
