While working on this speech, there were a few questions that came to my head. The first question that I was, “What kind of speech should I do?” This was my initial question because I wanted to speak on numerous topics such as a change in a proposition, reducing the cost of popcorn and drinks at the movie theatre (did not think this might have been a civil issue debate), etc. While doing my speech I had a few concerns that came to my head. The first concern was the way that my audience will…

For my self-critique assessment, I chose to critique my commemorative speech, which was on basketball. Overall, I think that I did a good job on this speech, but there is always room for improvement. First, I think that I had a lot of good aspects to this speech, which include that: I picked a topic that I was passionate about, discussed various life lessons that someone can learn from playing the game of basketball, elaborated on why I feel it should be commemorated, and incorporated some…

received from the supply chain. As such, Graebel has committed to share all contracts, as requested, with their providers to verify what fees are collected. As the new pricing is reviewed, it should be noted that every dollar reduced in the management fee is a direct reduction in the revenue Graebel generates on this account.

Speeches are always a hard task to complete. Some more complicated then others depending on the situation, the topic, and the audience. The informative speech was one of the harder speeches I had to give since it had to include more research, and more hard facts then the previous speeches. Therefore, it needed more preparation. During preparation part of the informative speech a key learning moment for me was that you can’t procrastinate and do it the night before. That means don’t procrastinate…

Marco Rubio, a politician from Florida that is running for the Republican nomination for President. In February of 2016, Rubio did a celebration with his constituents in Iowa about how his campaign was one of the three left in the Republican…

Final Self Evaluation Establishing Ethos is one of the most important aspects of giving a speech. The audience’s perception of a speaker, is very important to their understanding and comprehension of one’s speech. In this public speaking course, I believe I have done a decent job in achieving positive ethos. Every time I delivered a speech I made sure to make eye contact with every member of the audience. This is good in establishing a positive ethos as it allowed me to make a personal…

Another provision of the bill would change the font size…

The Making of Great Public Speaker On my thirteenth birthday my parents had given me a ticket to see my all time favorite female athlete. She was going to talk about her life and the journey she took to become successful. At thirteen years old, I felt like I had just received a Nobel Prize. On the day of the talk, I sat front row, and I was ready to become inspired and motivated to becoming a successful athlete. Instead, the speaker walked out with a piece of crinkled paper. I was drowned into…

Persuasive Self-Assessment Throughout the semester I learned a lot about public speech and communication in general. At the beginning of the semester I was not sure what to expect from the class. I did not know where I stood as a public speaker but now after taking the class I can see a big difference in my communication skill. I feel a lot more confident now then at the beginning of the class. Looking back at my first speech, there were a lot to be learned. First, I did not have many sources on…
