My Shield Speech Class

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.

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.

One of my more vivid experiences of public speaking was when I was taking a class at a community college. While taking this class I would often have to give speeches and demonstrations in front of the class. As I was waiting for my turn to give my very first speech, I was very certain that I would have no problems at all, it would a piece of cake, or so I thought. All of a sudden, I hear my name being called as it was my turn to deliver a knockout performance, but as I stood in front of that small class of people I just blanked out. An overwhelming amount of anxiety came over of me. I could feel my heart beginning to race and my hands starting to sweat. I could not for the life of me remember what I was going supposed say. In addition, the

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

The days leading up to my group presentation, my confidence was soaring in regards to my defense. I had practiced my lines and put in the effort to ensure my presentation would go off without a hitch. However,

I am fairly nervous for my speech today because I didn’t get to prepare as well as I would have liked. I got called into work last night and had to work with a new person and they had no clue how to do anything, so not only did I have to train them, but I didn’t get to practice my speech as much as I would have liked. I almost guarantee I’m going to talk too fast and not make the time limit. I’m also a little apprehensive just because of the type of speech this is, and I have never actually done a toast before. I have spoken in front of many people before at a ceremony in my high school, because I was a board member in National Honor Society. I had to speak on behalf of my fellow members and honor the new inductees. I am really hoping, and

Three (3) techniques are ideal for practicing your speech and memorizing it very effectively. The first one is called the mental crowd simulator. To explain what it is in a few lines, we can say that it can be compared to daydreaming. You know, just like when you daydream while your favorite song is playing and at the same time, you are imagining yourself singing that song in front of a huge crowd? Well, this technique works the same way, where you have already memorized your speech, and you imagine yourself giving that speech to a large audience.

Also try to not sound so panicked and nervous because I really don't like public speaking. As I was speaking the while time I was trying to use my self right in order to get the audience to pay attention and really get interested. I would use facial expressions to show them how i felt about and get a feeling for my emotions. I would keep a good tone of voice by using different tines of voices to not sound boring and monotone and also to set the mood of where I was going.

You don't want to feel scared, you want to feel super confident, that's why most people want to memorize their speech. It is possible to make a fantastic speech that people will admire you for.

It is a tough speech for me to introduce myself clearly in a couple of minutes. The only way to improve is to rehearse a lot and refresh the resume. After I research the elevator speech, I find out elevator speech is a unique tool which is not only for present interview, but is also for future careers. Professional use elevator speech to introduce their products, and services to the customer. This research turns the issue back to the communication skill, and it adds confidence and enthusiasm. I should plan to improve my communication

Overall, my shield speech went fairly well. I acted more nervous in the front of the room than I expected myself to. I rehearsed my presentation a total of three or four times, but I prefer to rehearse more than that. I thought my eye contact was notable I refused to stare at my index cards or at the ceiling. Standing up front, I felt a lot of eye contact returned. I don’t remember the last time I presented to my classmates. On top of that, many of the faces were ones I haven't spoken to in a while. Our previously close relationships separated in high school. This realization caused both nerves and melancholy. Old friends hold memories associated with my past, but they do not connect to the present because of the growing distance in our friendship. For example, I experienced an epiphany when I acknowledged how many of my previous friends haven't met Ariana, who is such a large part of my life today. That defines our friendships to be at least four years old.

Your chest is tight and you feel like you’re on fire. Your chest is tight ant you’re burning up. The flash cards in your hands are crumpled from you squeezing them obsessively. You look up and see dozens of eyes staring at you, waiting expectantly. Taking a deep breath, you stumble through the speech. When it’s finally over, you practically run back to your seat, cheeks flaming bright red. You slump down, already dreading the next time you’ll have to deal with your upmost fear: public speaking.

I know that is some parts of my speech it was hard to remain calm. I did however; keep eye contact with my audience during my speech. As much as I tried some of my distractions, I could not avoid. I did try to add vocal variety to add impact to the word death in my speech. I think that I did communicate enthusiasm for the topic that I choose. It is something that I think everyone should know about. I did not move around much due to my space that I had to do my speech. During my practice speech, I was pacing and I did not like the way that it made me look, so in the final I tried to stand still. I did move my arms to show which part of the body that I was talking about throughout my

In public speaking of any form to a diverse group of individuals, my main consideration as the speaker is my concentration on the audience that I am speaking to. In starting an effective presentation,

Furthermore, the speaker is visually boring because of they are lack of confidence and fear of public speaking. Effective speakers use visual language to engage the audience. Your hand gestures, facial expression, posture, movement and eye contact are critical components of your visual language. When you take the stage, always maintain eye contact with the audience, not with the screen behind you. Make sure you are appropriately and professionally dressed for the occasion. Make sure your appearance is neat and clean. You don’t need to have a 1000 dollar suit but you need to be dressed appropriately. You don’t want the audience to remember you because your slip was showing or because your shirt was wrinkled. Don’t wear anything that is distracting and takes away from your message. For example, 20 bangle bracelets that make noise every time you gesture is not a great idea. Practice your hand gestures and body movement when you rehearse your speech. Your hand gestures should complement your language, not
