[stylist] Introduction

Tue Mar 4 22:07:34 UTC 2014

I have a background as well as formal training in actual public
speaking. Since my teens, I've done a lot of public speaking as well as
theatrical performances, which can teach one how to project, annunciate
and speak extemporaneously.

I've also studied speech and public speaking at university. I've also
participated on speech and debate teams.

I probably shouldn't admit to this, but when younger, I did a couple of
pageants, my mom's idea. She coached me for the interviews which judges
conduct, and I always scored high during the interview process. I won a
couple pageants too, smile.
