Commemorative Speech: Strengths And Weaknesses

Improved Essays
This speech was a very different experience than all the rest of the speeches. The other speeches required you to give statistics and was more of an educational speech.

The Commemorative speech was one of my favorite speeches to do because I could really try to inspire the audience just how the person I was talking about inspired me. The Commemorative speech was also a lot easier to present then the other speeches because I could elaborate more about how this person influenced my life. I had many strengths and weaknesses throughout my Commemorative speech. The main strength I thought I had was connecting with the audience about how this person

    Viewing yourself speaking on video is never a particularly good experience, at least for me, because you notice all of the things you don’t notice when you were in the act of speaking or doing whatever was being filmed. However, watching yourself is a good way to notice your strengths and weaknesses as a public speaker. I know that I tend to look at myself more critically when I watch the recordings, but it was also interesting to see what I did and what I should change/keep the same for the future.

I had notes to look down at while I was giving my speech…
