Karl Von Muller Weakness

Finally, one of the main aspects that could have used improvement would be the introduction. The attention getter was not as effective as I had hoped it would be. It didn’t seem to grab anybody’s attention so the speech was already off to a not so great start. While the main topics were introduced it could have been done more effectively instead of just listing of the three main topics. Also the thesis statement could have been more thought out with more information about my

3. Was the speech well-organized? Did it have a robust introduction, a solid body with specific main points, and a conclusion? How was the time allotment for each section (too long, too short?) Were the times dedicated to each section appropriate? (Introduction and Conclusion: between 45 seconds to1 minute; Body: main points each 1:15 – 1:30)

Well, the speech was really fun to prepare for it, even though the grade is not what I expected. It pretty awesome too when giving the speech because I can see the audiences inner desire. And their laugh and some smile, it shows it all. I got their attention when I first open up the slide because that was the moment when our generation mostly looking for. And that was love, but that not what they expected. I was laughing inside because of that. While giving the speech, I notice I made too many mistakes and know what my weakness, strength is. I can see my strength in organizing my speech with the step of Monroe’s Motivated Sequence because of that my speech went a lot smoother. In addition to that, I was able to get my points across the audience. The thesis of my topic was easily understood by the audience because my earlier slide about finding love caught their attention. That was brilliant, but I can see that my transition is not smooth on every slide. And that is my weakness I have to work on. It's still not as bad as my communication because I know that I’m quadruple-lingual. That make it really hard for me to speaking

My content, I would agree with you that in parts of my speech I did not explain into enough detail for my audience to understand me clearly. I did not have my laptop charger, which brought my visual aid down for the audience to understand me better. I should have been more prepared for my speech, by bringing my laptop charger. With the pictures and documents on my power point, I think my speech would have been understood more clearly. I think the focus of my speech was blurry to my audience at some points, but strong at other points. My thesis statement was very clear and understood by my audience. I conveyed a sense of my topic by saying my topic in the beginning of my speech, and then using an example on how it would affect us as a human

I felt I did good on the content of my speech. I was able to be a bit technical for those who knew about my subject, but informative and toned down for those who didn’t know anything. I also felt my visual aids were good because I brought in real truck parts for everyone to see.

Make sure you find the major points from your research that you really want the audience to know and hit them with interesting facts that support it!

After re-watching your speech, do you think you clearly explained a complex idea so that a non-expert audience could understand it? Was this a topic that will help your audience in some way? Why or why not? How could you have done this even more effectively?

During my interview, I tried to concentrate on my strengths as a person and with my skills to acquire the job. With my speeches for the informative and persuasive I researched information about my topic and found the content I needed to perform my speech, such as the facts about the Denver Airport Conspiracy and the statistics of dogs in the shelters. I feel as if my content matter of speeches were what they needed to be.

First, there are at least three things I felt that I did well in my informative speech. In the ‘Body’ section of my speech I felt that I gave good transition statements that helped to lead you into my next topic. I know that I covered my different topics well by using a visual aid to keep my

I had told them why I was a creditable source and what my proposition was to subject. I believe my introduction for the speech was catchy and unique. I then told the audience what I was going to talk about, which was about what happens to a smokers’ body, secondhand smoke, and what the benefits are to stopping smoking. For my self, I noticed my improvement over my speeches through time. I see that I have done much better about staying in one place instead of crossing my legs over each other, like I am trying to trip myself.

Based on my presentation, I believe that I have improved since my first speech. My entire speech had more evidence/ sources to support my points. I researched all my materials two weeks before I had to present. There were at least 4 sources cited in my speech. In addition, I included my personal stories to give my speech credibility. Honestly, I believed my informative speech was well structured because I organized the speech in the right order and read it over numerous times to ensure that introduction,

the speaker did gain the attention of the audience through the use a story. the speaker did organize the speech in accordance to the five steps in the Monroe Motivated Sequence. using statistics and examples the speaker did develope a strong persuasive argument he did give a solution by giving others ways for teachers to communicate with there students in a safe enviroment The speaker did provide a visualization step after presenting the need and satisfaction he also made a point to state the consequenses the speaker summarized and ended with an impact. He also Made great eye contact, used conversational style of delivery, and used moderate jestures but only used 3 sources during

While learning different techniques to publicly present information, we also learned the importance of evaluating your own speaking performance. A proper evaluation can help increase your speaker-audience connection. A strong audience connection can enhance the power of a speech and is why we have chosen to do our speeches extemporaneously in this class as it has the most impact in given situations. Personally I am not comfortable with public speaking so this class has challenged and helped me grow as a person. We have given a total of three speeches so far in this class so I will be evaluating the introductory, informative, and persuasive speeches.

What did I do to prepare my informative speech? I spent a lot more time on this speech than my last one. I practice maybe like 5 times because I wanted to know that what I had written down was the correct way to inform my peers. I had to spend more time on this because it was about something I like and I really wanted to inform my peers about a part of my life. How did I feel when I was up in front of my peers? I felt fine, a lot better than my last speech, I think it was because I practiced more, and going up there it doesn’t matter if people are or aren’t interested in what you are talking about. After the first speech it made the next one more comfortable for me because the same people that watched me the first time watched me again and I felt more confident in what I was going to say.

During your lifetime, you would be thrown many bricks. Many of them you would be able to build a castle to show your success, but some of them can destroy your hard work. Unfortunately for me, I thought that COMM 101 was going to destroy my life. I hated the thought of presenting in front people. In many circumstances, I wish this class was not required. However, since the first day of class, I began to have a feeling this class was not going to be like the rest. Bob, my professor, did not want us to address him by his last name. He had also given all of us Burger King Crown, and to this date I still wonder where he got a large amount of them. If you are willing to get past your fears, you will be able to succeed in a communication class. In all honesty, there were three main components that made me change my view on public speaking from Bob’s anthem, “My Personal Belief”, to the informal presentations, and the formal presentations.
