Speech #3 Blog
Overall, I thought this speech went much better than our last one did. I personally feel that my speaking skills have improved much better since the beginning of the semester. I was extremely nervous during my first speech this semester. I did not feel nervous at all during this speech #3 last Wednesday when we presented. I feel I have progressed a little each time I had to speak in front of the class. I felt that my individual strength as the speaker was that I was able to connect with the audience better than I did on the last speech. I seemed to keep everyones’ attention when I was giving my part of the presentation.
We presented very well as a team, and especially compared to last time. Our last speech was a disaster because we went way under on the time. One thing we did well as a team, is that we practiced our presentation before we actually gave it in class. We all individually practiced our sections before we met up and practiced together. This ensured we would hit the time limit and let the entire presentation flow better.
One of the areas I can personally improve myself on for the next speech, is I can try to put less information on my note cards. I feel that I put too much information on my note cards this past time, so I kept glancing down at them a little too much. As a team I think we could have improved a little. We did not finish everything we wanted to because we started to run over on time. We could have made it a little shorter. As a group, we feel that this speech was a success because we all played our part very well, especially compared to the last speech.
