When giving my informative speech, I presented many facts and statics to my audience. I was trying to give my audience more knowledge over my topic. I wanted my audience to leave with information they didn’t have before my speech. When giving my persuasive speech, I was trying to convince my audience to stop eating fast food. I still presented some facts, but I tried to keep my audience entertained. During my persuasive speech, I asked the students to choose a side. By asking the audience to choose sides I was asking my audience to take action.
2. What were your strengths? What were your greatest opportunities for improvement?
During my informative speech, I did not have much confidence. Thus, I talked extremely fast and quietly. For my persuasive speech, I practiced more.

I have always been nervous when speaking in groups even small groups. However, I learned that the more I practice the easier it will be to present in front of large crowds. I learned that by taking deep breathes during my speech I can slow down my pace when speaking. In addition, taking deep breathes helped slow down my heart rate which helped me avoid becoming nervous. I also learned that if I want to be heard I must speak louder. Also, I must speak with a stronger tone. By learning these methods, I have learned how to communicate with others

Public speaking used to be a daunting task that I would try to avoid as often as possible, often I would be the last to present a project and would refrain myself from having to read outloud. When I would speak my head would fill with thoughts of how other were perceiving me and how easy it would be to mess up. With this nervous mentality my speaking was stuttered and confusing.

There is no question that after giving about four speeches, I have become a much better overall public speaker. In the beginning of the semester, I would tend to get nervous during some of my speeches and consequently the delivery of my speech would be greatly affected. If I had made a mistake, my level of nervousness would drastically increase and I wouldn’t know how to correct it. Although today I have improved on these aspects. Normally in order to control my nerves I try to think as positively as possible. This is critical because when I start to think even a little bit negatively then I severely hurt my chances of giving a good speech. Instead today, my main priority is to stay very confident and tell myself that I’m going to perform fine.
Taking deep breathes before your speech is one good way to build your confidence. Doing so can help you calm down if you are really nervous. No matter how much you prepare for your speech you will be nervous before you get up and present and taking a few deep breaths in and out is a good way to calm your nerves.

It may seem a bit odd but it is very important to be hydrated before a big speech because your nervousness causes your mouth to dry up. Anderson (2016) suggests you drink about a third of a bottle of water before you give your speech to stop your mouth from getting dry. Those are a few simple things you can do to become more confident while giving a
As much as we love stepping out looking our absolute best, the process to get there sometimes makes us ask over and over again, is it worth it?
Throughout life we express ourselves through words. The way we present ourselves through speech says a lot about our character. The way one speaks to others can jeopardize the amount of respect and trust others have for them. From the way one pronounces a word to their posture can affect the way an audience interprets what is being said. Personally, I am not confident with my speaking skills at this point. I would like my audience to fully comprehend the concepts or facts that I would present to them. In order to do so I must improve my speaking skills I believe that a problem most people, including myself, have when giving speeches is facing an audience. Just looking out to an audience of a mere ten
