My View On Public Speaking From Bob 's Anthem

Being a socialize person, I have always believed that public speaking is not a problem for me at all. However, I realize I was completely wrong as I had to deliver a lot of speeches in front of class, which was a quite a struggle for me. Even though my English accent has gotten a lot better throughout the year, yet it would always get terrible during my speech as I was mispronouncing words constantly. Fortunately, I have came to realize that my accent would not be so bad if I memorize the speech instead of reading it out loud like how I usually would.

Like millions of others living in America, public speaking was my greatest fear, so when I was registering for this class, CST 100, I prayed and hoped that I would have the opportunity to be taught by a competent professor. From the ten class sections listed, I narrowed it down five based on meeting dates that could fit into my summer schedule. To make a final

Students will demonstrate awareness of audience using appropriate volume and clarity in formal speaking situations.

At the beginning, I was someone who dreaded speaking in front of the class and just read off her notecards the whole time in a quiet voice. Now I feel confident in my public speaking skills and can give a speech with no notecards, in a loud and clear voice. Mr. Ferebee helped me become a better speaker through teaching me about all of the literacy skills. I believe that you must use all of them in order to deliver a good message aloud. You must read and truly understand things about your topic so that you can turn that knowledge into things you can say. When you say them, you must listen to other people, to improve upon your own skills in order to speak well. Public speaking is one of the most important things that we use everyday. If we are not good at using all of the literacy skills in our speaking, then nobody will understand what we have to say. Without this class, I would not have been able to improve my speaking skills into something that I am proud

Sauder is a place of opportunities and risk-takers. One critical lesson I will always carry from Comm 101 is the importance to allow yourself to be vulnerable as only then can you embrace that vulnerability and succeed. My moment of vulnerability was definitely the class participation. Despite being a confident speaker, I was as daunted as everybody else at the sight of the microphones and cameras in Comm 101. They were placed to undoubtedly force this moment of vulnerability and develop the courage to overcome it. With only one high school friend by my side, Comm 101 created the perfect environment for me to escape my high school past, and create a new identity. Through the course, I realized my vulnerability and gradually developed courage to tackle it. Like Paul’s statement “We are training you to be comfortable being uncomfortable” I will fully appreciate the atmosphere's pressure to constantly pushing me to move past my

College-aged students aren’t always comfortable communicating with older, more-experienced colleagues, and higher management. Learning how to analyze an audiences needs and expectations can help anyone handle these challenges more gracefully and confidently. Everyone runs into problems in the workplace, and some jobs are all about problem solving. Communications is central to many business problems and challenges, whether its part of the problem or part of the solution. By taking this course my views of communication in the workplace has impacted me greatly. Taking this course has showed me how to avoid and resolve disputes, understanding how communications works or fails to work helps people minimize confusion, avoid insults, and keep tensions

From taking this course, I learned how to use varieties of speaking tactics to attract and convince audiences, such as surprising numbers and facts, real experiences related to the topic. Meanwhile, being speak in front of the classmates for many times enable me to speak more comfortable and enjoyable in the future. I also learned from classmates on how to control the audiences’ moods and the overall

Men have a right to decide, control, and judge us as well. As result, whenever I am in front of public, I decide not to fully engage in conversation. All my interventions are limited with brief comments about what is being discussed. I believe that is the mean reason why I am not feeling fully comfortable to talk in front of audience. The oriental culture that I grew up in plays a vital role to impact my way of delivering my speech, thoughts, and concerns. Regardless of those facts, I am fully aware that public speaking is a task that each one of us should master. This is the reason why I am here at Valencia. Assigning for this class is one of the steps that I choose to overcome my weaknesses. I decide to be myself not someone else. My expected goals that I would love to gain from this class are: learning how to overcome the stage fright, being organized during my presentations, and finding a style that will allow me to convince my audience. After watching the video and reading the assigned article, I came to the following results: in order to be organized in my presentations, I should gather my thoughts and try to be specific rather than talking abroad. In

On the morning of October 27th I attended a Friends University Chapel program in alumni auditorium and I listened to a jazz band and prayed with my fellow classmates. I knew there would be a guest speaker at some point during the service and I was excited to hear her speech. We prayed, sang a few songs and then got ready for our guest speaker. Marla Schmidt was introduced and she talked to the congregation about the importance of accepting refugees that have escaped religious persecution and war from their homeland and fled to our community in search of a better life. Marla serves as the Field Office Director for the Episcopal Migration Ministries- Wichita refugee resettlement agency. She gave a speech that involved accepting refugees from different parts of the world into the United States of America and helping them adapt to life in the United States.

Ms. Melissa Marshall provided a brief informative presentation in front of a live audience encompassing affiliates of sciences to include students and their faculty. Her objective was to educate the students on effective communication in their field and to bestow presentation strategies to aid them in their future clientele and the journey that lies ahead of them. Public speaking is a manner of communication that enables us to share our ideas with others as we stand in front of an audience in making our point of view visible to them. However, when someone stands in front of a crowd with unrefined public speaking skills, the likelihood of the audience not being able to perceive the presentation is high. She explains the importance of communication and delivers ways to effectively connect with the rest of society.

Attending Samford University as a freshman, I was more than positive that all of my classes would be boring until I enrolled in Communication Arts 101. Communication Arts is a class required for all freshmen to take and it helps develop writing and speaking skills that will empower us as students. Traditionally, college professors will ask their students to write an essay and move on to the next assignment. In contrast, Samford University incorporates formal speeches into the curriculum to help students vocally express their research and thoughts. Our class was recently assigned to deliver an Informative speech, which is a major portion of our grade. My speech received a fairly good grade; however, there are some aspects of my speech that

There is a significant difference between my perception of communication at the beginning of this course compared to now. Initially, I was aware communication was an important skill people needed to have, but I wasn’t fully aware of the depth of communication. I never realized there were such a variety of behaviors and characteristics that impacted the ability for people to communicate effectively. Once I started completing the self-assessments my perspective was broaden and I gained helpful insight into my own communication strengths and weaknesses. With each self-assessment I truly felt I was getting to know myself better.

Recently I had a good friend ask me about important prerequisites she will need to take next semester. One of the classes needed is communications. She was really nervous and concerned because she is very shy and uncomfortable making public presentations. I couldn’t have been more excited to explain my experience in the Introduction to Communications course and how this class can not only benefit her in the future, but also help her feel more comfortable presenting in front of fellow classmates.
