Speech Reflection and Feedback

I was very nervous to perform my speech even though I was just speaking in front of my computer and no one in person. I was having difficulty memorizing my speech and i felt that was shown within my recording, no many how many times I tried to perfect it. I think it is easier for me, and the majority of my peers to strongly remember the beginning and end of their speeches, since it is the last and first things spoken. I think I came off strong and enthusiastic in the beginning portion of my speech and when I posed my final question to my audience. Once i got to the middle portion I started to become anxious and fidgety, not portraying a strong standpoint. One of weaknesses I would like to try to fix for the future is having good posture and not playing with my hands as much. I believe with a good appearance, it is easier to deliver a speech and come off with a more effective tone.

I did not get quite a lot of feedback from my peers but I took what I can get and those that did respond were very nice. One of the strengths that my peers had brought up was how they liked that I brought up the notion of how my advertisement truly affected the civic lives of a society and especially women. They believed i brought up a strong connection between my artifact and civic life back in the 1950s. Another strength that they highlighted was that they were persuaded that I seemed very knowledgable in the facts I presented and knew of the historical context very well. Finally, they mentioned how they thought i memorized it very good, despite me not feeling so confident in that area, and that I knew all my information very well. I appreciate their feedback and look to keep up the parts that were good and work on the parts I felt I had struggled with.
