Informative Speech Self-Evaluation Form

I did a very good job of getting my three points across without confusing anyone. Another thing I thought I did very well was the visuals I brought in. They were very big and everyone in the classroom was able to see them clearly. As the next speech comes around one thing I need to work on is my eye contact. During my shield speech I only looked up a few times, but I never made eye contact individually with any people. Another thing I can improve is how long I practice for my speech. If I would run through my speech a few times throughout the week and the night before my speech would turn out much better. I also made very well written out index cards, but I did not use them as much of an aid. I think that if I practiced a little more than what I did my speech could have flowed better. During my speech one thing that was really unexpected for me was the time. I came into the speech thinking I would have plenty of time to get everything I wanted to say out, but when I started talking about my family I was already three minutes in. When it came to the actual speech I almost had a small nervous

Improvements can help any person no matter their experience with public speaking. I need to practice timing my animations with my PowerPoint. In terms of improvements, I need to be able to introduce a brief history of the

Also, there were some difficulties that came about during my speech, one of those difficulties being inadequate direct eye contact. During the length of the speech there were not many time where I looked up and talked directly to my classmates. Something I could have done better to improve this would be to practice even more to ensure that I wouldn’t need to look at my notecards and slides as often. I also could have practiced when to look up and have a successful glance at my audience to have improved eye contact.

The introduction & attention getter were complete but weren’t very engaging, which in my opinion was my speeches biggest flaw. My speech wasn’t one that as soon as you heard it you gave it your undivided because the importance of they topic in my opinion was very subjective. In my opinion the me employing a very loud, lively attention getter would’ve

During the speech, I was also a good speaker in many ways. I had a good voice projection, my hand moment was consistent, I was always facing the audience and held eye contact, and had facial expressions to emphasize the importance of a topic. Right off the bat when I was explaining my citation saying According to the U.S Census Bureau “there are alone 5.7% Asian’s in the United States,” I was pointing my hands to make sure everyone was paying attention to the numbers. Another thing I did well during the speech was, that I kept eye contact with everyone during the speech

Overall, I felt that I achieved that goal of informing my audience about experiments in social psychology. Some of strengths include achieving my message, incorporating my sources into the speech, and how well practiced my introduction was. My weaknesses include eye contact, speaking too fast, and wrapping up the speech. I know that after watching myself deliver the speech, I will know what to improve and what to continue doing for my persuasive

Secondly, I think I need to improve on my transition. This is important, because it helps tie my speech together. Thirdly, I need to use more positive visualization. Before starting my speech, instead of thinking "I'm going to be terrible out there" I need to imagine myself getting tons of laughs while presenting with the

1. What did you did well? Why do you think you did well on these aspects of your speech? Elaborate.

Overall, I achieved my speech calmly and confidently. I scored myself a 6 in this category because I did not rush the speech and I did not have a shaky speaking voice. I also scored myself a 6 for having no distracting behaviors. My feet were glued to the ground and a did not play with

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.

The speaker made direct eye contact at all times unless his head was moving to place emphasis on what he was saying. Further, the speaker spoke loud enough to be heard and did not require me to turn my volume up super high while struggling to hear him. Additionally, the speaker utilized a good pace. He moved slow enough for me to comprehend everything he was telling me but fast enough so that I did not get bored and distracted. Finally, the speaker alternated his pitch throughout the speech which kept my attention. Overall, besides the previously addressed issues, the delivery of the speech was great! I would, however, suggest having more time of the speech spent face to face with the speaker for a more powerful speech.

In the first speech for this class, my main goals were to gain confidence to voice my ideas and use speech to make a difference in peoples’ lives, and to practice overcoming my speech anxiety therefore be able to use my nerves to focus myself. Overall, I believe that I did improve in both of these areas as a result of information from the book, mini speeches, and the larger speeches.

I have given quite a few speeches in the last few years, even at such a young age. Though I was proficient when I started this class, I have improved even more in these last six weeks. My strengths definitely fall in my organization and content. However in my delivery I often lack in vocal variety and volume, mostly due to nerves, and I often rushing my conclusions. Due to the rank I have in organizations like the National Honor Society, I will often have to speak in public or address my peers so I plan on continuing to practice for my speeches out loud and hopefully I will improve.

After completing the speech, I thought I did good in some area and can improve other. While giving this speech I was able to focus on my topic and utilize given time. I thought I won’t be able to stand in front of the class and speak for that long, but I went over the time limit. I’m sure I was able to explain the subject matter and entertain audiences. I also believe I speak with a voice that is able to reach all audiences.

I had the optimal tone, the proper intensity, and the emotion well balanced but in several instances a lack of memorization prevented me from delivering an excellent performance. My expressiveness was the best one for the day, and should be attributed to my empathy with the character of the speech. Although it is not cogent to understand an incoherent mind such as in the case of my character with mental sickness. Nonetheless, I tried my best to understand these feelings and expressed them as well. Alltogether, I did not think my overall performance could match Yonic. Again, practice, practice and practice; I have to really keep it in
