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

By reflecting upon my Values Speech, I will be more aware of what skills I have already accomplished and what skills I need to improve on in order to prepare myself better for the next big speech as well as to further improve my public speaking skills. Now that I look back at the recording of my presentation, I clearly saw strengths that were shown, but there were also weaknesses that I revealed, diminishing the overall powerful effect that my speech should have gave. As I watched Amy Cuddy’s TED

I have taken speech class five times, at three different colleges and always dropped it. Hello, this is my analysis of Speech 106. Today I want to talk about the three moments I knew I could finish this class. The first moment I knew I could finish this class was after I had a one on one conversation with Mrs. Rhodes. It was after our first class meeting. I had gotten a grade of 50 on my manuscript and a 60 on my test. I was very discouraged and ready to drop the class. Then over the next few

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. I remember thinking, “Why are they all laughing at me?” They asked me to say it again, and I said “lellow.” Until they told me

Introduction Hello, my name is Megan Carlson, and I can think of no better person to give this speech about me

my PowerPoint speech and reviewing the video I think I did okay for speech 3. My anxiety levels were much lower this time around. Along with that, I did not have a pounding heart going into the speech. However, I think that largest factor behind this was due to the use of both my PowerPoint and note cards as a reference to better recall the information I researched. As a whole, I believe I met a few of the goals that I set for myself in the speech 2 self-analysis. In this speech, I did feel as

Freedom of speech is the right that grants everyone and anyone to speak their opinions and ideas aloud without fear of censorship. As someone who believes that every opinion should be considered, I believe that sharing viewpoints allow students in college and everywhere else to freely express themselves and allows people to be who they are. Just like teachers from high schools and professors from colleges preach, students should be allowed to speak their minds without being scared of facing major

Informative Analysis I did my recent informative speech on the history of the Indiana pacers. I believe I did a pretty good job informing the class on my topic. The purpose, after my presentation, was to inform them more about their state’s professional basketball team. In my opinion, I successfully achieved this purpose. I was able to cover all of the specifics of the Pacers players and their franchise. I believe that after my presentation most everyone in the class was familiar and knew more about

readings to musical numbers to comedic improvisations. Such chaos and energy could only mean that the Iowa High School Speech Association’s district contest was taking place. Last Saturday, Jan. 24, the CFHS speech team boarded a bus early in the morning to head to La Porte City so they could showcase all of their hard work that they’ve prepared for about two months. The school’s speech team sent 17 groups to contest with the goal for each group to receive a Division I rating from the judges in order
