Priest to other older youth members that discussed growing issues in the world and how we can act to resolve these issues. A couple of the speeches presented related to concepts or ideas expressed related to the work in our GWST class especially a speech by my cousin named Christy Mathew. She is a senior in high school getting ready to go to college and decided a major issue in our society is gender based

The speech I chose to critique is Kelley Mc Gonigal: How to make stress your friend (TED TALKS 2013). Her speech contained a persuasive style and encouraged the audience to look at stress in a positive aspect. The main idea of her speech implied that stress only has a negative aspect on your body if you mentally think that all stress is bad. Within seconds of her speech she had the audience captivated by her statement saying “I have a confession to make”. This engaged the audience with the enthusiasm

From the video recording of my speech, the first speech was an interesting experience. It did however make me realize that I need to set time for more practice in preparing for a speech and to establish better timing. I was almost past the allowed time; coming close to 6 minutes and I admit I was unprepared. The video depicts that I am constantly stuttering and is a major reason for my time. What I’ve also noticed was that for a brief moment I began to lose my place and so my stuttering progressively

readings to musical numbers to comedic improvisations. Such chaos and energy could only mean that the Iowa High School Speech Association’s district contest was taking place. Last Saturday, Jan. 24, the CFHS speech team boarded a bus early in the morning to head to La Porte City so they could showcase all of their hard work that they’ve prepared for about two months. The school’s speech team sent 17 groups to contest with the goal for each group to receive a Division I rating from the judges in order

When giving a speech, four main components must be considered: occasion, audience, speaker, and speech; and these four components applied to my demonstration speech as they would any other. The occasion, the context and purpose for giving a speech, was more deliberative as I was demonstrating and explaining a course of action in order to accomplish a goal. The audience was a captive audience as my classmates and I are required to be in class and remain present for others' speeches. As I was the speaker

speaking ability to take over a country in their time of need and lead them to infamy. The ways Hitler did this was by connecting with his audience, flamboyant motions, variation in pitch, using his charisma, and working his audience up before giving a speech. Hitler used repetition throughout his speeches to capture the audiences attention. Repetition helps the audience become more comfortable with new ideas because after hearing the same thing over and over, the

Critique This speech was magically different than the last, and I am very relieved. Since my last speech I gave, which was the Heritage speech, I have been very nervous of a repeat. This speech was the persuasion speech, and I chose to persuade about drug testing in the Minnesota State High School League. I came into the speech confident and excited on May 10th to present my points of: the problem, a solution, and a problem-solving plan. I may have been slightly nervous prior to the speech day, but when

Before I began my speech I was very thrilled, excited, and motivated. I expressed a large desire to go first since there was no formal order of speakers. Minutes before class started, rehearsed my speech a few times to ensure that I have my content sharp and that I am following the outline to my best ability. Afterwards, it was only minutes before Dr. Lora said “It is 8 on my watch, so let us get started.” Right then and there, I got up and approached the stage with confidence. Another important

After presenting my impact speech, I felt a little disappointed with how it went compared to the way I’d been practicing it. I felt that my thesis, writing having an impact on people, was very clear. But, the way that I got there was not. In this speech, I could have done a better job at making all my content relate back to the thesis. When I write the rest of the speeches for this class, I need to keep my thesis in mind for me to improve the effectiveness. I believe I had an effective introduction

By reflecting upon my Values Speech, I will be more aware of what skills I have already accomplished and what skills I need to improve on in order to prepare myself better for the next big speech as well as to further improve my public speaking skills. Now that I look back at the recording of my presentation, I clearly saw strengths that were shown, but there were also weaknesses that I revealed, diminishing the overall powerful effect that my speech should have gave.
