Initially I was going to bring my friend Michelle in as my visual aid, but unfortunately she couldn't make it. Then I needed to come up with a way to show her personality and work that into my speech. I was glad that it all worked out, and it didn't seem too out of place. I think I needed to be a little louder, but considering it was a manuscript I think my eye contact was very good. I thought people would be very bored with my speech, but I'm glad I got the opportunity to tell everyone about how amazing my best friend is.<br /><br />Melonie: I really related to your speech! When you brought up your grandmother it made me think of my own grandma who passed away and left me her ring. It was touching that there is someone else who has the same feelings for an object that I do.<br /><br />Grace: I liked how passionate you are about your love for your sister! I wish I had a sister as well so that I could relate more to your stories, but the way you told them made me feel like I was part of it. You did really well and I can't wait for your next speech!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151189560307191093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766181031976447003.post-41864749657709650352013-11-04T16:35:48.507-08:002013-11-04T16:35:48.507-08:00Connor, I really loved your speech.

I gave it on my wonderful sister Amanda. I feel like everyone got a sense of how I honestly fell about her. Since I was speaking from the heart, I was okay with the manuscript, but I would prefer to use an outline of just note cards. Also, because I spoke from the heart I memorized most of my speak which allowed me to make good eye contact. I was not nervous, but I do feel that I am getting more comfortable the more I give speeches. I hope that the next time I give my speech I am more poised at the podium.

I thought also that I was very repetitive talking about Bella. I feel as if I just went over the same stuff over and over again. I really hope I have work on that. Also I feel as if people didn't really like it, I saw many people break out their phones when I was talking. I don't know if I have to tell more jokes or what. That just made me more nervous seeing people not even paying attention to what I was saying. I really wish I could have done better.

The eye contact could have been better but surprisingly I thought it was easier because usually I'm too focused on remembering what I have to talk about. I probably could have prepared more seeing that I only read through it once out loud. My use of gestures also could have improved but I thought that my pace and tone was a lot better than past speeches.<br /><br />One of my favorite speeches of this group was Angel's. Even though he did more than one person I think he did a really good tying in the three different people to make it a good strong speech. His eye contact probably could have been better but with the manuscript speech it is understandable that it wasn't the best.<br /><br />I also liked Nick's speech. He is a very good speaker overall but this was a good speech especially. He had a good tone and didn't start out too strong like he tends to. I also liked how his topic was relatable, at least for me since I share a similar interest in reading. His eye contact was also really good.

More practice might help with speaking clearly, but too much would probably reduce the impromptu humor that characterizes Angel's speeches.Travis Schraderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358122092168508850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766181031976447003.post-53356284276884243662013-10-27T11:59:23.565-07:002013-10-27T11:59:23.565-07:00I thought that this was probably your best speech ...I thought that this was probably your best speech so far. I think that the sort of unexpected topic drew the audience in, or at least caught our attention. How you handled it worked out very well, when it could have just ended up with a list of books and what you liked about them. Addressing your visual aid so directly was also a nice touch.Travis Schraderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358122092168508850noreply@blogger.com
