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. I’m being asked to write about Beata Beatrix, a painting created by Dante Rossetti, based on Dante Alighieri’s novel Vita Nuova. I want to begin the speech by giving the background of Beatrice, the subject of the painting, to the audience. Then, I plan to inform how…

was clear and got the audiences attention. It was something that everyone knew about it and could relate too. However, once I got past the Attention grabber, I started to stutter, and my wording got a little messed up. I was thinking faster than I speaking. Although I did not say a clear preview statement in my head I did, so I have to learn to speaker slower, so I can process what I am saying. Before I presented my speech I had planned out everything clearly and organize; with the layout…

The Speech I knew I would need to start writing my speech at some point, but there were much better things to be doing than homework. The speech had to be about the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington, D.C. I had terrible writer's block. The topic and instructions given by my English teacher were vague. I was sure I would never get the speech done. The Washington D.C. trip was a big deal in the eighth grade. Everyone was so excited to be able to take a trip so far away. Before we could go…

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…

For this paper I was required to observe three speeches from a freshman honors public speaking class. The students in this class were giving their first speeches of the year, apparently K-state has been busy tweaking 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,…

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…

According to O'Hair, Rubenstein and Stewart (2016) “Words are the public speaker’s tools of the trade…” (p. 117) In the fifth-tenth chapter of A Pocket Guide to Public Speaking, the authors write about which oral style to use, use of concrete language and vivid imagery, words that build credibility, and those that create an impression. I will summarize these areas in the following paper. When speakers are preparing speeches, they must remember that listeners only have one chance to hear the…
