Hi all. I �ve made a short clip (6 minutes) on assessment in EAL, which I am showing to all our staff on Wednesday morning. The reason I have made a clip is that I am terrified of public speaking. My knees are quaking even at the thought of having to introduce the clip.

Anyway - I would like to put a piece of inspirational music to it. Any suggestions?

What about a snippet from a popular movie such as Star Wars, Dr Who or Twilight Zone

All lovely suggestions above, apart from "Wish you were here" in reggae (it should be forbidden to rape some really good music), but for some real inspirational stuff may I suggest Tony O �Connor or Kip Mazuy? It �s calming music too, so you may keep your nerves together, Lynne. Cheers and keep heart, it won �t be the end of the world. (In a worst case scenario, it might be the end of your carreer  Confused )  Cheers, Peter.

Thank you my friends. Well, I have a plan to do the best I can Big smile thanks Sophia and not lose my job Wink Peter! Thanks for the suggestions dear Sarguero and Jayho, and for the nice message, izulia. I had to decide at school today and none of the links were live. So - it �s �It �s a kind of magic � instrumental by Queen, chosen by our librarian. I only have to say a few sentences - I will be OK, (please God!). I recently discovered that the fear of speaking in public has a name. I can �t remember what it is at the moment, but I felt better that it is a proper condition, with a name!

I �m sure you �ll be great Lynne and don �t forget that all the people who will listen to you on Wednesday are only human beings and these people will be very pleased to hear what you have to say. Don �t worry too much.
