I do love the outdoors though so I was still semi interested. If you were a bit more organized I think this speech would've been very good.

I attempted to memorize my entire speech so I wouldn't have to use my notecards but once I got up in front of everyone I forgot some key parts of my speech.

You...Josh, I enjoyed your speech despite the pause. You kept my attention and it was interesting to hear what you had to say. I agree with Zack when he said you should have more confidence and faith in yourself, and in addition to that, try not to overthink things. If you present an attitude that is in charge and push through your mistakes I think you will be a very strong speaker. I'm also proud of how you kept going after the pause, many people would have quit or started over.

One thing I think you could practice would be sticking to the main points and not getting sidetracked, that being said little tangents can be very interesting.

It was a surprise to me that you decide to take this class.And I am proud of what you have achieved throughout the first month. You were able to finish speech in a calm pace. I noticed that you struggled a little bit at the beginning which caused you to panic a little. However you were able to change your pace and did a better job as the speech goes on. I think you did an excellent job on this one. Keep it up, do not be afraid and hope you will do even better on the next one.

It was very exciting to hear about the story that you met MJ when you were young. If it was me, I would be freaked out. Anyway, there is one flaw that you need to work on is that you need to reorganize your speech. Other than that, you did a fantastic job.

I really didn't notice your nervousness because your speech was awesome overall. I agree your transition wasn't the best but a lot of us had that including myself. I am looking forward to listening to you later on in the year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706289793242319298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766181031976447003.post-57650061407638395652016-02-08T15:35:57.634-08:002016-02-08T15:35:57.634-08:00Kampy, I really enjoyed all the interesting storie...Kampy, I really enjoyed all the interesting stories you told, even though I agree with you in saying that it was long.

I think this is one of the technique you could work on to keep all the audiences attracted to your speech. There is one major flaw which you should work on during this semester. You should slow down your pace a little bit. At the end of the speech, you seemed to be very happy with the result of your speech. So keep up the good work and I am looking forward to hear your next speech.

There are few flaws in your presentation, I think you need to practice more for the next speech in order to have everything goes smoothly. Also I think you should write your speech out first and organize it. On you first speech, I get little confused as the story goes on due to the fact that the speech was not well organized. Besides that, you did an excellent job.

You are gifted. I really had fun listening to your speech. Especially with the fact that you started your speech with " My fellow Americans", I believe that it caught everyone's attentions in the class. You were very calm throughout the whole speech.

I was amazed by the fact that you decide to choose this class instead of some other not-so-challenge class. I am proud of you. I believe you spent a lot of time on this speech. I think you did a really good job telling us about your family and friends. One more thing, I noticed you were very nervous at the beginning of the speech, your voice was a little bit shaky. This could be something that you could work on for your next speech. Other than that, your speech was perfect. Keep it up, and do good work.

You went up there with such calm and cool I didn't think you were nervous at all. I'm glad that you spoke about a topic that was such fun! I feel like all speeches should be fun topics or else it's really just going through the motions.
