In my speech one, I used the chronological strategy. The chronological strategy is used when a speaker is describing the history of an event or to instruct how to go about doing a task (Ford-Brown, 2014, p.315). During my first speech, I spoke about the life of Temple Grandin, and why her life made her my hero. The audience can tell I use this strategy because I first start with her birth. I go through all of the adversity and accomplishments she has had throughout her life. I then finish with who she is today. I started with a topic sentence for each part of her life I was speaking about. This way the listener knew where I was in her life. Speech two I used the topical strategy. It has flowing, essential subtopics throughout that can be

It wasn’t too fast or slow, and it had a nice comfortable pace. From the time 5:25 to 6:49, I had very good rate. I was slower at first to let my audience think about the point I was making. As I got more into the conclusion, I sped up because they didn’t have to process any new information.
The rate is the how fast or slow a speaker speaks (Ford-Brown, 2014, p.213). In my first speech, I speed up and slowed down a lot. I was trying to think of what I was going to say and would slow down. It made the speech uncomfortable and hard to follow. By my last speech, I could flow through my speech and it hardly ever changed rates uncomfortably.
Pause
In my last speech, I didn’t have any long pauses that didn’t make sense. At the time 1:06, I took a brief pause. This pause was comfortable, let me take a breath, and let the audience collect their thoughts.
A pause is when a speaker takes a very brief break (Ford-Brown, 2014, p.214). They can also be used to emphasis a topic for a listener. My first speech was kind of a disaster with pauses. I would take a break not for my audiences but for me to collect my thoughts. My final speech used pauses appropriately and when were needed. It was smooth and constant with no awkward …show more content…
I used them as illustrations when I listed opinions and things that could be done. I also used them as emblems when I was expressions rhetorical questions and important thoughts. From 1:53 to 2:15, I used my hands to show just how strongly I feel about the issue. They aid in persuasion to act on the issue.
Gestures are when speakers used body parts to emphasize thoughts and emotions (Ford-Brown, 2014, p.220). I did use pretty good gestures in my first speech, but they were used enough or in the right spots. In my first speech the gestures I made were very big, distracting, and random. In my last speech, I become more controlled and appropriate.
Posture
In my third speech, I sat up and had a very welcoming, open expression. I maintained this throughout my entire speech.
Posture the set and stance of the body (Ford-Brown, 2014, p. 221). Again, I had good posture during my first speech, but I was much to rigid. I had a very stressed look about me, and I didn’t look comfortable. By my third speech, I was sitting up tall, relaxed, and welcoming. This made the audience even more comfortable and engaged with my speech.
