Examples Of Informative Briefing

Improved Essays
In my informative briefing project, I choose to speak about big game hunting in bush Alaska. If I could redo this project to make it better, I would probably change my topic to the life and times of a celebrity instead because I think that would be easier to plan and speak about. In my informative briefing speech, I had some good qualities and some bad qualities throughout my speech. I believe that my strengths were my visuals on my google slides and the tone of my voice which was loud and clear. And for my weaknesses, I had a big lack in eye-contact and poor time-awareness. For example, in my presentation, I used too much of my time on the introduction and first main point which forced me to rush through my next two main points and conclusion. To solve this issue, I feel like rewriting my outline with shorter sentences and less sub-points while still getting my main point across to the audience. …show more content…
Although the time-length of the presentation was much longer than my first speech. Since I felt better prepared and more confident with the speech outline, I held better eye contact than in my first speech and I used a little bit more hand gestures while I was talking. The only thing I would have liked to done better in my parts of the presentation is to have better transitions between my partners and myself. In my final presentation of the semester, I gave a persuasive speech about why everyone should use the metric system. In comparison to my informative briefing speech, I had better eye-contact and had more natural body movements. I took note that I looked a lot more comfortable talking and moving. The one thing I would like to improve on most is my hand

    After watching my speech on video I recognized several things that beforehand I believed I had done well, and upon watching the speech, did do very well. Firstly was my organization, but mainly my introduction and main points. Both of these had all aspects covered and were easy to notice during the speech. Secondly I thought I did very well with my volume, rate, and vocal variety. These verbal delivery attributes came off very well in my speech and I was very happy to see that I could still execute these aspects.…

    However, in this speech I did a much better job talking with my hands than in any other of my speeches. WEAKNESSES Just like how I had plenty of strengths, there are definitely still things I need to work on. My speech would have gone so much better if I was better organized and practiced more. I kind of just threw some important information together without thinking about everything that should be included in the speech. The information I included was really good, however I just needed to add more and organize it better.…

    When creating my informative speech, I had to determine when I was presenting this information too which in the case is will be my professor. Then I decide what presentation to use, which in this case this is an informative speech. Before I started, I needed to create a delivery outline for my speech. When creating this outline, I had to think on how to communicate the ideas by trying to convince the audience on how to create and present an informative speech does not take as much time as they think it does. I also had to think about the duration on how much time I have to present my outline speech to the audience, which in this case would be 3-5 minutes long.…

    It was the Thursday before my speech that I was finally was able to get all the materials for my SHIELD, where I began work on my SHIELD. I hadn’t exactly thought everything out before I began work that night, so there were a few rough patches. First of all, all I knew is that I wanted to have a soccer ball shield. I also went on a trip with my family on Saturday and Sunday, so I couldn’t really start my SHIELD until Sunday night. This was extremely unfortunate because my SHIELD required more work than I planned on.…

    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…

In this class I learned about how to be a better team member. This semester I was reminded of how important communication is and how people need to keep emphasizing it as one of the most important skills any person could possesses. The personality test was useful, I think it gave all of us a good way to start to see how everyone is different. It made it easier for each of us to better understand one another in how our unique personalities can be a challenge when working with others.…

    A couple things I would change are how I plan out developing the speech and how much to practice it. For developing the speech, I need to be sure of what exactly I want to talk about at the interview. I felt that my questions were interesting, but a couple were somewhat unneeded. However, I came to the conclusion that it is better to have too much than not enough for an interview because I had enough information to work with. Also, I should have taken more time to thoroughly practice my speech out loud in front of others.…
