Speech Buddy videos

Video 9.1 is about introductions. A good introduction goes a long way. We should get the audiences attention, preview your main points, and your purpose. We can introduce the speech by telling a story, humor, or in the video, they showed a girl talking a photo of the audience to get their attention on cameras. I will in my next speech try and make a humorous approach to my audience. Now 9.2 was about concluding your speeches. You should have a solid conclusion and leave your audience with a positive attitude. You should again review your main points and provide closure so that your audience isn't left confused or anything. Have a statement to conclude your closure. Here in video 13.1 A, Evan is presenting a speech on the universal language of techno music. Evan is great in giving eye contact and getting information out of an article. He has great transitions. He's always repeating techno in every part of his speech so that the audience knows that he isn't going off topic. In my next speech, I will try and have as much eye contact as him. In video 13.1 B, she is talking about Kodak Cameras. She has great eye movement and glances all around the audience. She isn't even using any notecards, which means she has practiced and practiced her speech very well. What's useful in her speech is that you can tell that she knows what she's talking about and in my next speech, I hope to not even use notecards anymore and just be on point in my speech. In video 13.1 Use it, she talks a little too fast for me. The lighting is really dark. She uses notecards in her speech and isn't as well prepared as the other girl in the video. She looks like she hasn't prepared a lot for her speech because it looks like shes reading off the notecards at all times.

  1. I think humor is a great way to go in starting a speech, but personally I don’t find myself very funny. I can’t wait to hear your humorous approach for your next speech. I was also very impressed with the eye contact given in the first two speeches. I would really like to be up to par with these speeches by the end of this course. Good luck avoiding your note cards. I would if I could as well. It makes a world of difference in a speech when you don’t need to rely on anything. The main things I put in my note cards are my sources, because I find it hard to remember the citations of all my different facts.
