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…

Until taking this speech class, I had no idea how much time and effort great speakers put into their speeches. They must be able to immediately grab their audience’s attention, they must be able to make what they are saying exciting and worth knowing, and they must also deliver their speech in a unique way, so that they can continue to keep the audience’s attention throughout the duration of the speech. Until I sat down and critiqued my speech and realized that even though I thought I was very…

Just like talking yourself up, you have to remember what you have accomplished. I am taking public speaking at Edgecombe Community College and if you do not know already, the class is based around giving speeches and learning to better project your ideas to a public audience. Whenever I am about to give a speech, I go back to the night of the Distinguished…

• 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. Of the four I would choose number two, Speeches about processes. 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…

Informative Speech Self-Assessment The Informative speech I presented in the class was my first experience of speechmaking on a nonscientific subject. In this essay, I have self-assessed the following three aspects of the first speech I made: organization, speech outline and speech delivery. The speech I make was well-organized because It helped me effectively connect the main points, and supporting points I wished to shared with my audience. I believe my speech was well-structured because…

basketball, and some are experts in chess, but for me, it was public speaking. I loved it, it was what defined me, what made me feel confident. When I was in preschool, I went to my first poetry recital. It was only reciting a four lines of “Humpty Dumpty”, and I pretty sure I pronounced half of the words wrong, the experience was exhilarating, and ever since then, I was hooked to it. Although I had loved it, I never really pursued public speaking because my life revolved around sports at that…

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…

This wasn’t my first struggle with speech anxiety. Public speaking had always been a challenge for me ever since my parents immigrated to the United States from India when I was seven years old. Because of my thick Indian accent and a lack of fluency in English, I landed in English as Second Language (ESL) classes in elementary school. Although I later became fluent in English and lost my accent, my anxiety remained, inhibiting me from speaking in front of class or participating in class…

In our presentation “Lysistrata” I took part of Myrrhine, what I was accomplishing in this scene was to be as precise as I could be. To also have a classy pitch to match the tones of my classmates, as I listened to myself I felt like I did an okay job for the level that I'm at in theatre I wasnt too quiet nor too loud. Something that I would do differently would be probably be to a better pronounciation of words and have a good fluency of the lines that I have to read. My character didn't have…
