Speech disfluency

STEP ONE: DETERMINING WHY CHANGE IS DESIRED The one “pattern” that I would like to change is becoming better at public speaking. I have always been bad at giving presentations or speeches, but I never made the effort to identify the problem and improve upon it.

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

Nevertheless, the speech that captivated me the most through the creativity was Adam. At first, I did not expect the speech to be very captivating because I didn’t really see much to the mechanics of throwing a bowling ball.
