Reflecting on my speech performance I am proud of what I turned in. Although I know it could have been better, for the most part I feel good about my speech. Things I could improve for next time. Hand gestures. I did the same gesture for everything, next time I will focus on switching them up. I also had a vey memory lapses. Next time I will practice my speech a little more and utilize my notecard more. I liked my into the most, I feel the best about how I introduced my topic and how I grabbed the attention of my audience. Since I was in Speech and Debate in high school, this assignment was something I really enjoyed to do. With that said, I had very high expectations for myself and that is why i fell like I could have done better. For next time I will also work on facial expressions. Some parts of my speech were very good in this aspect however there were a couple times I could have improved. I feel like the content of my speech was good. I worked hard on making it more of an analysis rather than a summary which was something we discussed in my conference.
Looking at my fellow classmates speeches, I feel like everyone did a good job. Somethings I learned that could help me be more successful next time is speed. Changing up my pace throughout my speech. Also talking to the audience like they are in the room with me. People did a very good job at this and I feel like I did not. It is hard to do this when I am talking to a camera.
Overall I feel really good at my speech but I have also learned a lot that I will better next time.
I totally agree with interacting more with the “audience”. It is really hard when you are talking to a computer screen, but I think it is something that will help us all and make our next speeches better! I am definitely also going to keep this in mind when I do my next one!
