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…

In my commemorative speech I was able to commemorate my uncle, Robin Speedie. As I was looking through my speech video cast I noticed strengths and areas I could improve in. My strengths in my speech are: (1) My body language. I moved around the room, not staying in the same position. Also, moving my hands while giving my speech and making a connection with the audience by laughing at my own stories and showing eye contact to the audience. (2) Voice Fluency. I was actually surprised by this. As…

Getting up here and talking to you is very rough. Maintaining eye contact, trying not to scramble over my words, and speaking slow enough so you can understand me. But I know that I'm not alone, that about 7% of the population suffers from this as well and those are only the people who got clincalized. My guess is that each one of you has experienced this feeling too. The time that you're heart starts beating out of your chest and there is a knot in your throat. I don’t think we need to be…

For example, alcohol has many of the same side effects of marijuana. Alcohol buffers the central nervous system and is known to kill brain cells. A joint of marijuana is known to produce more tar than a cigarette, but on the average marijuana users do not consume enough marijuana to surpass the tar build up of a person who smokes a pack of cigarettes a day. June Crown and W.D.M. Paton state that "Further, one should realize that different cannabis smokers select different levels of intoxication"…

I cannot believe that is has already been four weeks—four weeks of constant arduous work that keeps expanding my mind in dimensions I have never sought for before. This past week, it was the dimension of speech writing, the layer I have never thought I would be able to achieve because I am a terrible writer… Initially, I planned on writing about slavery as if I lived in the 19th century as a slave owner coming to a realization of how slaves impede the growth of this country morally.…

used to a student’s regular style of presentation, but I was to stand before them and prove myself. This was a test eight years in the making, demanding the all of my writing and speaking abilities for a short thirty seconds. As I stood backstage, my speech echoed in my memory; it was nothing grand, but I was happy with its prose. The presenters before me walked off-stage to mild applause. I waited three seconds, composed my breath, and walked out to a spotlight turned my way. All five hundred…

language development is a process of experience and maturation. Teachers must be aware of children’s cultural language skills, so that they would be able to help and to assist children in their speech. Moreover, there are six stages of language development.

When giving speeches most of the time the person giving the speech is experiencing Communication apprehension. The definition of Communication apprehension is the level of fear, or anxiety, an individual faces when having to communicate with one or multiple people. I have dealt with Communication apprehension for quite a while now. Although it is not as bad, as it used to be. My freshman year of college, I was actually enrolled in the COMS 130 course, but my fear of public speaking, caused me to…
