My Speech Reflection

I used my 48 hour late for my speech assignment, so I did not get any peer feedback. However, I am able to reflect on my speech on my own.

I think that content-wise, my speech was well written and explained the rhetoric the American Girl Doll company represents and advertises well. However, when delivering my speech I was visibly nervous and anxious. I am not good at speaking in front of people, and even though I was just speaking to my computer, the knowledge that my classmates would be watching it made me mess up a bit. I stuttered a little and skipped over words, and I also ended up pretty much reading off my script the entire time when I had planned to deliver most of it from memory.

Overall, I think my tone and delivery was decent for being nervous, but maybe I could’ve practiced a bit more to calm my nerves and therefore had a more successful and confident delivery.
