Public Speaking Experience Essay

was clear and got the audiences attention. It was something that everyone knew about it and could relate too. However, once I got past the Attention grabber, I started to stutter, and my wording got a little messed up. I was thinking faster than I speaking. Although I did not say a clear preview statement in my head I did, so I have to learn to speaker slower, so I can process what I am saying. Before I presented my speech I had planned out everything clearly and organize; with the layout…

The Speech I knew I would need to start writing my speech at some point, but there were much better things to be doing than homework. The speech had to be about the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington, D.C. I had terrible writer's block. The topic and instructions given by my English teacher were vague. I was sure I would never get the speech done. The Washington D.C. trip was a big deal in the eighth grade. Everyone was so excited to be able to take a trip so far away. Before we could go…

Self-Assessment Overall, I think I did very great on my speech. This is the only speech that I felt comfortable presenting. I knew what I was talking about and my topic was related to the class. From the speech evaluation forms, the whole class thought I did very good on my topic, the thesis, and also supported the topic with great details. I agree with them on that because I had to do a lot of research to find all the sources I used. These are some of the some I did strongly, I gave good…

31st, I gave an informative speech on “How Chiropractic Medicine Works”. I believe that overall my speech went fairly well. I met all of the criteria that was asked of me: I had an introduction, body and conclusion, I only used one notecard while speaking and kept good eye contact during the presentation. In my own opinion, I think that my speech was rough, compared to what a proper speech should be. As a first speech I have given in college, I think that it went better than expected. I was only…

After everyone watches themselves give a speech they have things that they would change. Once I evaluated my persuasion speech I noticed a few things. I think that there are areas that I have improved; there are some more areas that I need to improve more, and some things that I observed about my delivery. The first thing I noticed was some things that I have improved since I gave my last speech. I felt less nervous before and during my most recent speech compared to my other speeches. I think…

To prepare for my informative speech I just looked over my outline a few times and then went through my speech in my head. I never fully practiced my speech or timed it, but I knew that with the amount of information I had I would not be short on time. Also with the amount of information I had I knew that I would not exceed the time limit. This time when I was in front of the class I was less nervous than before, but before my speech I was quite nervous. Even though I did not practice my…

create my message. I had to prepare myself by coming up with an introduction, purpose statement, and main idea and listed the main idea throughout the body of my outline. In between the bodies I placed signposts to transition the information I was speaking. This will allow the audience to navigate where they are in the speech. I asked myself the questions I feel the audience will have about the information and try to determine how I was going to answer them within the speech. After i have set…

I highly recommend the JROTC program. I believe that all…

Perform the speech just as I showed you, clearly and smoothly. If you want to speak louder as bad actors usually do, I might willingly look for a newscaster to read the lines for me. Don’t overuse too many hand gestures; just do as few as possible, moderately, like this. If a powerful tempest of passion comes on you while you are on stage, keep your emotions moderate and smooth. I deeply hate a wig wearing, a bombastic actor that tears a passion into shreds, bursting everyone’s ears to impress…
