Public speaking

My heart beats faster when I am speaking or presenting in front of an audience. Having all those faces stare at me as I present my information to the class or forgetting everything I reviewed are a few terrifying things that occur while I am public speaking. This, especially, happens when I am debating in front of attorney judges. At NJ LEEP, I partake in Constitutional Law Debates where I go up against other classmates in my grade debating my argument and advocating why the judges should choose…

Communication helps to inform, persuade, and entertain people, it also gives you confidence. With more people turning to the…

of being accepted socially, or it may also stem from wanting to prove my self-worth. When speaking in public, it appears that everyone, including myself, is waiting for my inevitable screw up. As soon as the teacher explained that we would be getting into our reading groups. I knew it was coming, and from then on my mindset was focused on how to attract as little attention as possible while publicly speaking. Although that is close to impossible, that was my goal during reading time. I already…

Speech Reflection – Informative Speech Strengths of Content My speech followed the Monroe Motivated Sequence throughout the presentation. I started out with an attention piece that aimed to touch on each of the artistic proofs: pathos, ethos, and logos. Through telling the sad story of Ophelia (pathos), stating statistics from the American Society for the prevention of Cruelty to Animals (logos), and by establishing my past in volunteering for a dog shelter for year many years (ethos)…

In William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar Mark Antony’s speech is more persuasive than the one Brutus gives because he uses better tactics and more powerful rhetoric. In his speech Brutus uses gravitas and ethos which in the end backfires because it makes his speech less relatable and portrays him as better than the plebeians. Mark Antony gives his speech after Brutus and he uses this to his advantage by using verbal irony and more specially sarcasm. Mark Antony uses pathos and exaggeration to…

• I have read Chapter 15 of the textbook by Lucas. • Lucas gives four types of informative speeches. 1) Speeches about objects. 2) Speeches about processes. 3) Speeches about events. 4) Speeches about concepts.

This type will help me help state my informative speech in steps to present it in a clear organized manner that is easy for the audience to comprehend and follow along as I give my speech in detail. • Lucas also gives six…

When it comes to speaking in front of people, I get nervous. Whether there are a few people in the room or a huge auditorium full of people. It has been an obstacle for me throughout my life. From show and tell in 3rd grade to big projects in high school, I always became flustered. I’ve always been scared of not being good enough, until one day I decided to make some changes. During my Junior year of high school, I joined the Texas Association of Future Educators (TAFE). I enrolled in TAFE…

1. I believe there were some positive aspects of my speech. Firstly, I was not a nervous when speaking in front of the audience. This allowed me to have the speech flow smoother than last time. I was not expecting the audience to be as large as it was this time; but I think the increase of people might have helped easy some of my anxiety. My video seemed to be clear enough, the audio was not as good as I had hoped. I am proud I finally got the laptop to work with me and stayed relatively calm…
