I feel optimistic. I'm always open to embracing new ideas and methods of doing things.
I'm shy and kind of socially awkward. It's weird, too. I can speak into a microphone, but not in front of crowds. Dad thinks this could help me overcome that problem.
Nice. I feel the exact same way in regards to that particular subject as well.
Your father may have a point there. Like I said, through practice you can only improve and eventually become more accustomed with the way you sound and speak. It may be more of a benefit than you think.
