Commencement speech

the way in which we teach public speaking. Students were to give an informative speech. The speech had to have some sort of visual aid and had to be under five minutes in length. I personally decided to work on the first three speakers. Before the speakers began their professor, Craig brown handed me a piece of paper. On the paper it was marked in almost a T-chart format. The top of the paper tells you the speech type, the semester, and class. Under that is where the T is formed, and on…

Informative Speech Reflection On January 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…

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…

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 speech very much I…

When creating my informative speech, I had to determine when I was presenting this information too which in the case is will be my professor. Then I decide what presentation to use, which in this case this is an informative speech. Before I started, I needed to create a delivery outline for my speech. When creating this outline, I had to think on how to communicate the ideas by trying to convince the audience on how to create and present an informative speech does not take as much time as they…

in the following paper. When speakers are preparing speeches, they must remember that listeners only have one chance to hear the message that is trying to be conveyed. For this reason, the speech has to be prepared for the ear instead of to be read. To accomplish this the speaker must have a simple speech, avoiding the use of unnecessary words or jargon. The use of repetition helps…

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…

To establish credibility before your presentation can be difficult if your audience such as coworkers do not already know you. If your audience is unfamiliar to you, the best thing to do is find out about them and be very well prepared. Practice and know what you are presenting well. Make sure you have a backup plan for your presentation so that if something goes wrong, you won’t panic. During your presentation, speak clearly and with confidence. Most people have fears of speaking in public,…

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…

Joe Smith gave a speech during a TED Conference in April of 2012 called “How to Use a Paper Towel”. He talked about what a difference one sheet of paper could do for the environment to a crowd of intelligent environmentalists. He talks about how many sheets of paper towels people should use versus how many people actually use. Smith’s love for nature and the environment really stands out when using statistics and a strong vocabulary to attach to the audience. Smith was able to provide the…
