RCL Blog 5: Speech Reflection

  1. Overall, I think my points and use of statistics was strong to deliver my message. Many of the statements about phone usage were relatable to most of the room, which also helped. I also think I presented the speech, with the exception of the part explained in #2, with a fairly continuous flow, and did not use many filler words. The concluding questions also gave the audience something to think about after the speech, which I think was good.
  2. I think that the third main point of my speech, that being the corporate influence, had too many pauses/stutters while I was presenting, and I also noticed I used some filler words like “um” in that section. Sometimes I think I was also talking a little too fast and could have slowed my pace a little to make the speech more understandable. 
  3. One thing I didn’t realize that I was distracted from watching the video was that my head was tilted slightly to the left for the entire time I was presenting. I also didn’t realize how much I was moving my hands while talking, but I don’t think this was a big deal. A third thing I didn’t notice was the ending “thank you” felt kind of abrupt. While listening, it felt like I should’ve continued a bit more about the topic of ethics in phone data usage, and transitioned more cleanly into the ending.
