Public Speaking Experience Essay

Listener Review #3 After watching my videotape several times, I am not satisfied of my performance. It wasn’t good as I expected. I feel I was still too nervous and not confident to have a speech in front of people. I remember when I was speaking, my whole body was still shaking a lot. I couldn’t control and stop myself. When I was nervous I did stuffs that I am not used to do it. I didn’t know why I did that. For example, the jacket is the evident showed that I was too nervous. I should take it…

My problem I have in my life is public speaking as from an early age I began taking speech therapy classes once a week until the start of middle school. These therapy sessions helped me to be able to start speaking in public. However, the real issue that came with public speaking was not due to the fear of the people itself but rather the mental anxiety of stuttering or slurring a word in the progression of a speech or a presentation completely destroys my confidence of the delivery. In this…

For my entire life, I have been scared to speak. I was diagnosed with selective mutism when I was two years old. This disorder has made it difficult for me to communicate with anybody that I am not close to. For myself, this meant that talking to or even in the presence of my teachers was out of the question. I would refuse to speak in class and, as a result, many of my classmates thought I was weird and did not talk to me. I was not bothered by that fact. I had my select few friends that I was…

This speech I last did was my informative speech and I felt much more prepare with this speech because I have everything done on time, I had my outline ready, notecards ready and to be able to read, my power point was good and I felt a little more confident. In class when we picked times when we were going to, Mr. Stauffer took volunteers to go first and so after that we drew out of the bucker, and I…

I gave my heritage speech on my dad who is my biggest role model on Wednesday, February 7th, 2018. The purpose of this speech was to talk about someone important to me and share their personality, adventures, and lessons learned from them. Before the speech I felt very nervous and shaky. I felt like I didn’t know what I was going to say even though I had practiced it over and over. I believe I followed my outline in terms of structure and planning. I got to say a little bit about everything I…

I put upon myself really hinders me. Something that I notice from my persuasive speech is different is that I have something important so share. I value my opinion as an individual a lot more and I try to make sure that people understand why I am speaking in the first place. I still see myself gazing off when I panic or lose track of my own thoughts, but I see that I make much more of an effort to look at my peers. When I do break eye contract, I try to remember that my audience wants to see me…

Reflection I remember going to the College advisor and trying to figure out what class I would be taking for the fall semester of 2016. I was a little late in the enrollment process and some of the classes I wanted to take were either not available or completely filled. So my advisor asked me if I would be interested in taking speech class. I thought to myself “I don’t really like talking in front of people but it is a requirement.” So I signed up for Introduction to Speech Communication…

during my public speaking exercises. I will be covering a list of topics that will include evaluating what took place during the speaking, things that I did well, and objectives that could have been covered better.

Michael Olivas as a close personal friend, was the guest speaker of the program, Dr. Sylvia Hurtado. She was the main speaker in the program causing her speech to run longer than the other people speaking. She introduced herself and went directly to the key points she was going to be discussing in her PowerPoint presentation, utilizing statistics to get the attention of the gentlemen that were part of the audience since they filled about two-thirds…

A. The type of speech you intend to deliver (remember there are three basic types of speeches) Out of the tree types of speeches, I believe delivering an informative speech would work best with the audience, topic, and occasion.
