On my demonstrative speech called “How to Play a Guitar,” I pull out different topics related with the instrument like the parts of the guitar, music theory, and the diverse skills playing it. For instance, I spend several weeks figuring out my theme. At the end I found this topic, but like was little late I spent more time in some areas than others ones. One of that well developed areas was my attention getter; was strong enough to hook the people. But, for future speeches maybe using a real guitar or pre-recording music, because it would impact my audience in a different way.…
A well-known speaker or a noted expert in a field will bring more initial credibility to a speech than someone who is unknown to the audience. Derived credibility is created by the content and delivery of the speech. Ideas that are organized and well supported with convincing evidence will enhance derived credibility as will a delivery that is practiced and engaging.

Definition: The prefrontal cortex is a part of the brain which is called the frontal lobe, specifically it the section (which is located at the top of the brain), that is responsible for helping us with making conscious: judgment decisions, solve problems, paying attention to detail, socializing, and intellect. Comment: I can definitely see the potential connection between the prefrontal cortex and the “social cognition” competency. Finding solutions in our social world requires high road thinking, solving these issues requires problem solving which is a conscious effort. Also, the competency “influence” is potentially relevant.…
I barely had any influx in the volume of my voice, nor did I made any facial expressions. Due to this, this detracted my credibility towards the audience since what I was saying did not match with the tone of my voice. If I had made my presentation more dynamic, the listener would have been more interested in what I had to say and be more engaged. Additionally, if I was more animated where I wanted to emphasize on topics, the listeners would have paid more attention to that information that I have given, and realize that it is important. The tones and facial expressions are important because it shows your attitude and feelings towards the topic, so when it was missing in my presentation, they could not get the same enthusiasm I had towards the topic, and therefore could not relate as easily.…
Areas that I feel like I have improved in during this communications 101 course is becoming more confident in speaking in front of a small crowd, learning how to write speeches, and learning how to research and prepare for speeches. Everyone 's fear is public speaking. I avoided taking this class for the longest time just because I did not want to have to take a class where its entirety was just about speaking in front of people and doing a handful of speeches being my primary grade. I needed to take this class for when I transfer over to Arizona State University in the fall of 2017 so getting this class out of the way now at the University of Nevada was more of an ideal plan rather than taking it at ASU. This class is a core pre-requisite…
When it comes to public speaking I feel more confident talking to individuals that I know. The purpose for that is because I know them and they know me, plus there would be only positive judgement coming from them.

In addition, my confidence is high when I am debating something I feel is important and giving insight to a situation that I have been through.…
After noticing the speaker’s confidence during the speech, it became clear that his calmness and ability to speak clearly, his ability to refer to his notes and to use the power point at the same time and also his ability to ensure he was the source of the information he was giving made his delivery good. This informative speech could have been improved with more body movement during the transitions and a good eye contact with the…

Final Field Project For this assignment, I chose to interview my boyfriend Michael Hook. Throughout the time we have dated, he has always been someone I’ve admired and continuously pushes me to become a better person in all aspects. I wanted to interview him because the story of his company, to me, is pretty commendable and an interesting topic to discuss. Considering we have been dating for over four years, there was no research needed to prepare for this topic; we have discussed his job various times. For the opening, I began by thanking him for agreeing to participate in the interview and taking the time to answer the questions fully and to the best of his knowledge.…
My heart beats faster when I am speaking or presenting in front of an audience. Having all those faces stare at me as I present my information to the class or forgetting everything I reviewed are a few terrifying things that occur while I am public speaking. This, especially, happens when I am debating in front of attorney judges. At NJ LEEP, I partake in Constitutional Law Debates where I go up against other classmates in my grade debating my argument and advocating why the judges should choose my side. However, I am not reading off of my paper.…

Compared to the personal speech assignment, I felt the informative speech, in general, is a more challenging assignment. Since it basically combines a research paper and a speech, it was very time-consuming to finish all the requirement, especially it was in the midterm period. But after all, I found a way to balance the time to finish this assignment and gave a effective speech to the class. And I found myself gradually gain experience and confidence in the speech class. Based on the previous speech experience and recommendation from the professor and classmates, this time I used more strategies from the 4-steps methods.…
