Public speaking

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…

JROTC has around for decades to motivate younger citizens to become better people. The definition of JROTC inputs, Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. For thousands of years combining military with education has proved successful. JROTC has found its beginning in the U.S. at Norwich Vermont. Captain Alden Partridge had the ingenuity to implement a successful JROTC program. “Captain Alden Partridge’s Academy was so successful that the idea of combining military studies with regular classes…

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…

his essay was Aaron Flores. Aaron used skills from Schultze’s book, An Essential Guide to Public Speaking. The skills that I saw Aaron use from Schultze’s book were addressing challenges and speaking truthfully. Aaron successfully showed through his writing and his speaking of how to use these skills. As I talked to Aaron the day before his speech he addressed to me his fear of speaking. “Fear of public speaking—commonly called speech apprehension—affects even the most gifted speakers”(34).…

84 which was much higher than I thought it was going to be which I guess reflects on the fact that maybe I don 't give myself as much credit as I should when thinking about my public speaking ability. One of the things the test made me realize is that i’m more nervous in regular life than I am nervous when public speaking, because I thought about the questions if they referred to the circumstances of everyday life. I guess that’s the benefit and downside to being a performer. Watching the video…

Public speaking tends to be the most nerve-racking situation for most people, especially when it is in front of a large audience. What is the root of this fear? Messing up. The fear that causes shaky voices, sweaty palms, and nervous vomit is simply the fear of making a mistake and everyone witnessing that mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, a simple slip of the tongue; after all we are only human. That human nature is precisely why we do everything in our power to minimize the chance of verbal…
