I physically speak about my choice of a topic compared to the overall setup of my actual presentatiom. Although I have improved tremendously over the past three semesters of ALARP, there are still some spots and skills that appeared in my final speech that I can adjust to make my presentations even better. These include my volume, tone, and my eye contact. For example, as I
things such as body language, tone, eye contact, etc. were easily forgotten since my last speech class over five years ago. All of that was easily spotted in the process of making my self-introduction video when I kept deciding to do retakes repeatedly. In the end, I managed to produce a product that would keep me from failing but it was nothing that I could be proud of. When it came time for the second speech to be due I was relieved almost that it would be another prerecorded session. I thought
Grab Bag Speech, My Path Interview, Career Path Presentation, Rhetorical Analysis Activity, Pitch Speech, Story Podcasts, and two impromptu speeches, I learned a lot of speaking skills and showed a big progress. In addition, Professor Khalil taught me a very important thing which is knowing people well, which allows me to be more confident and relaxed while doing a speech.

At first, I would start off the speech good and then realize that I am presenting and start messing up and getting nervous during the speeches. Then I remember presenting the persuasive speech and the way I presented it had a better flow and I was not too nervous so I even volunteer to go first the day I had to present. The more speeches we presented, the better

In combination, by using eye contact and switching being the different people in the audience, this was able to make everyone feel like I as truly addressing them. As a result, the speech came across as a little more interesting and a little more engaging for the everyone in the class. Focus your assessment on what you would like to change about your speech.

I believe to set a goal for myself can be very open-ended, with the various outcomes there are when learning to communicate fluidly as well as speak in public. Depending on the size of the crowd or the content of my particular speech and my goal at the end of each speech. To encompass all of my personal goals, it would be easiest to say that I would like to have a better grasp of communication in general and to be able to express my personal thoughts and ideas in a way that is crystal clear to
good news is that the audience can indeed become the focal point of any speech if the speaker tailors their message toward it. In this paper, I will analyze three situational characteristics and three demographics that contribute to the uniqueness of my audience, explain why these traits matter, and briefly examine the scope of their limitations in an attempt to understand the art of the invaluable “audience-centered” speech (Holloway, “An Exercise in Audience Analysis”). Nervousness is linear,
elaborates more on that idea in her speech the Nobel Lecture. Toni’s writing illustrates her beliefs about language and the deeper meaning of it.

She believes that America is not achieving those ideas for language but in fact is doing the opposite. American people do not know the meaning and effect of language and because of that, true language is dying. In the speech, the Nobel Lecture, by Toni
The first time I realized I had a speech impediment I was 5 years old. My cousins and I were sitting on the back porch of my grandmother’s house, on a hot summer afternoon in August. We were talking about how pretty the flowers looked in my grandmother’s backyard, when I said, “I just love lellow flowers.” As soon as that statement left my mouth, everyone laughed at me.
