    Dutch Braid Analysis

    • 293 Words
    • 2 Pages

    I am slightly nervous for my demonstration speech. I have chosen to demonstrate how to make a dutch braid. When I present a speech to my audience I usually like to have something written down to what I might say just so I never get to the point where I stutter or use the word "um". Though, for my demonstration speech, I can't really do that because the process may not go as planned, so I might just stick to doing main points or key words to think about when presenting. That way if I lose track…

    Persuasive Speech

    After my persuasive speech about why people should study Chinese, I felt relieved and confident. I delivered this speech within the time limits, spoke two languages in a confident manner, and engaged my audience. While I walked out feeling good about my speech, I could also point out everything that went wrong. My video link did not play where I wanted, but it did not fluster me. Then, I forgot to provide more of a background for my sources and repeat the questions when asked, but acknowledging…

    Paid Reflection

    • 457 Words
    • 2 Pages

    On my last speech, I discussed why I believe elite college athletes should be paid. I was very satisfied with how my speech went. I was able to improve on my speaking because I worked on the body language portion of my speech increasingly, I was more confident going into the speech, and I feel I persuaded my audience to agree with me. As I prepared for my speech, I worked on my body language and vocal variation. On my last speech, I was docked points for lack of vocal variation, eye contact,…

    I think my performance for my informative speech went fairly well. My very first speech was a little rough because I was more nervous, but having a speech already done helped me get more comfortable. I swayed and moved my feet more than I thought I was. I maybe saw my eyes move across the room and tried to do the same with my feet, yet just stayed in one general area. I was well prepared, considering I was supposed to present a whole seven days earlier than I actually did. When I started out…

    Jerry Seinfeld said during one of his shows, "I saw a thing, actually a study, that said speaking in front of a crowd is considered the number one fear of the average person. I found that amazing. Number two was death. Death is number two? This means to the average person if you have to be at a funeral you would rather be in the casket than doing the eulogy." While this is humorous it illustrates a good point; people are afraid of public speaking. Public speaking is defined as "the process of…

    Everyday, every year, or even every minute of the day you’re in school you might just be called on by the teacher but, how does this help the students who are nervous about presenting or performing in front of peers? “It doesn’t help at all, actually it makes it worst for them and I know from experience,” says a 13 year old schoolboy that goes by the name Noah.

In May of 2011, a man by the name of Denzel Washington used multiple rhetorical strategies to deliver a graduation speech at the University of Pennsylvania. While revealing all of the difficult times…

    When it comes to public speaking, my experience is quite barren. In fact, I have done only one public presentation in my entire life. Up until my enrollment in Olympic College I was never tasked with the objective of delivering a speech in front of an assembly. Considering the fact that I am a reserved person, I felt lucky to have avoided the attention that comes from such an event. In retrospect, it wouldn’t hurt to have gained some early experience with the craft. My first public presentation…
