Examples Of Informative Self Critique

In the informative speech, I didn’t many things that were admired and distracting during the speech, and I hope to improve on those distracting interrupting acts on my next speech. During the speech, I did some items that were a little distracting through the speech. As I watched my speech I noticed I had some awkward pauses, bad transitions, some um’s, and a little stuttering throughout the speech. If you look at the speech I tend to stutter which is a little distracting. Talking about the festival Diwali I talk about Rangoli and its colored pattern I stutter and forget what I am explaining. Another thing I could improve on is my transitions when hearing the speech, the transitions are a little rough and not as smooth. During the transition when I switch from talking about the celebrations to the language I say, “with all these celebrations it tends to bring many religions and languages together” doesn’t really make sense and could be spoken a little smoother. Stuttering is also a part of the speech I did during the speech which distracting. Throughout the speech, I stutter during different parts and one of those parts being when I am talking about the different traditions when eating Indian food. I say, “some of the traditions when people eat in India are well we all we eat on our hands,” which is a little annoying. During the speech, I also said um’s during the speech. When citing my source on languages I said some ums, repeating the citation from the notecard. During the speech I had a little tough time with stuttering at moments, saying some um’s, bad transitions, and some pauses in the future I tend to improve it for the next speech.

One of the things I noticed in my speech was how many times I looked at the screen. I didn’t realize how many times I looked at my prop until I watched myself on video. It was distracting and took away from what I was saying to my audience. Additionally, I feel like I could have improved speaking about the different experiments performed. I feel like they were rushed and I should have stuck to talking about only one or two experiments instead. With my time being rushed, I feel like I couldn’t explain as much of the experiments as I wanted to or as in depth. Lastly, I should have worked on the conclusion for my speech. I wasn’t able to come up with a good conclusion, so it felt as if I left some of the speech left hanging. I mentioned ethical issues performed in the experiments without actually going over it in the speech. Next time, I know I will come up with a solid ending and just wrapping up ideas I already went over in class. I know that for my persuasive speech, I will work on my eye contact, slowing down, and coming up with a solid ending.

This paper will discuss mine self-evaluation and do into detail about my first speech. My first speech takes place in front of my class and I have to tell a story of an experience that has happened to me. Telling a speech was a new experience for me and I embrace the challenge. A speech can have an impact on a person life and the audience can also relate a topic that is being presented. I will explore and go into the details of ethos, pathos and logos of my speech for my personal assessment.

I gave a speech about making a strawberry-banana smoothie. Overall, I feel as if I did a good job on this speech. It was an informative speech. Therefore, my goal was to teach people how to make a strawberry-banana smoothie. I feel like any person who saw the speech and the related demonstration would have been able to make a strawberry-banana smoothie. In addition, I feel like I kept the speech simple, so that someone could replicate the process at home without having to refer to notes or any written materials. My peer critiques agree with my self-assessment that the speech was good, overall, but highlighted an area for improvement.

5. Considering at least two of the concepts listed above, what do you think the speaker could work on for future speeches? Please be specific and use examples from the speech to demonstrate your points. Provide specific suggestions for improvement.

I think what I need to improve on is when in fear, try to calm myself down or else I will forget everything I have practice. When speaking, I should work on my articulation and tone. My tone of voice did not have a lot of emotion into it. I seem to have been a little monotone with the way I presented the speech. I had a little rise and fall, but I should work on raising my voice for important points and bring back down to facts and evidence that back up my points.

I went into detail how by listening to my speech, they could possibly help a family member or friend in the future. Finally, my preview of the main points did a great job of giving a roadmap into the rest of my speech. I went into each of my three main ideas and talked about what I would be examining within each of them. I made sure not to use any evidence too early or give too much away in the preview. I simply discussed what would be later covered in the coming minutes. An example, one of my points was government involvement. I previewed that I would be discussing the difference between how government at the local and national level affected access and how they differed.

After my informative speech about Charles Darwin I can see strengths and weakness of my speech. I see more weaknesses in my speech then I do strengths. I know that with this speech I have a lot to learn. My informative speech will be a learning lesson from my strengths which is transition and opening with an impact, and my weaknesses which is confidence, use of the floor, rate of speech, and my eye contact.

Although my speech was strong in organization, clarity, and the support and explanation of my ideas, it still had weaknesses that I need to work

First, I will be talking about the structure of my speech. When doing a speech to explain, like any other speech it’s important to have a clear and organized pattern. Essentially when creating my outline for the speech I had made sure to have a clear and engaging intro and hook, meant to clearly state my theme and then jump into the topic. Unfortunately when presenting the speech I was unable to present my introduction as I would have liked and forgot to even mention my theme. I was not very effective in my introduction but knowing so at my conclusion I was sure to clearly state my theme. However,I believe my concluding sentence could have been more clear. To improve I should in the future reinstate my topics and go over key points and leave the audience with psychological closure rather than abruptly saying “that was all, thank you”.

After preparing for this speech, I believe that it was a speech that was developed. The speech was very appropriate for the audience and occasion. This speech was appropriate because I discussed the reasons why higher education should receive higher funds for school. I created a clear specific purpose that I could accomplish in the allotted time. I believe I did a great job with the timing because the time required was six to seven minutes and I finished in six minutes and nineteen seconds. I believe the speech was well organized because I have used Monroe’s Motivated Sequence. This sequence showed me how to organize my speech into a sequential order. I have fulfilled the major functions of the speech introduction. I have tried my best to create a great opening to get the audience’s attention. I

Weaknesses: I should open a question at the end of my speech. That will make the audience not to forget the speech quickly.

My speech had a clear specific purpose, which I accomplished in the time given. It was well organized in the formal and keyword outline, as well as the speech that was given. There was clear distinction between my introduction, my body paragraphs, and my conclusion; and, I think the points transitioned together smoothly. I think for the speech it was difficult to know how much research I should actually do. If this speech was for students in any of the psychology course, then I would have conducted
