Introduction Video

My Evaluation of my Introduction video It took me many, many, many, recordings to get the final product. Even so, there is still so much room for improvement. I struggled to think of things to say and it is really noticeable. Even though it was just me and a camera, I had a difficult time expressing my thoughts in words. I hope that this course teaches me to be able to think on the spot and to be able to do a continuous speech without so many pauses. Looking back at the final product, there are some little details I could have added in. Despite this being somewhat of a disaster, I look forward to improving in many areas.
Why did I choose this as my favorite speech? My favorite speech of the course has to be the "This I believe" speech. I chose this as my favorite speech because I had fun writing it, and if I'm being honest, I really enjoyed the fact that we could read off of the paper. This definitely wasn't the best work I have ever done, but I can appreciate the work I did put into writing it. The actual presentation of the speech in my opinion was fairly good. I felt the most confident during that speech, probably because I didn't have to memorize it. I was the easiest speech for me to present especially since I never do good at public speaking. I have struggled with public speaking, despite all the practice I put into my speeches. In the end, I always tend to mix up the words or eventually end up stuttering. I know that not everyone is perfect and throughout this course I have stumbled a little. My "This I believe" speech was about believing in the compassion within humanity. It portrayed a moment in my life of pure kindness from a total stranger. I am not only appreciative of the writing I did for this speech, I am appreciative of that kind woman. My "This I believe" speech is my favorite speech because I felt the most comfortable, and in my opinion it was something we could all relate to. This is one of the speeches that I could say without looking at the paper because it is real life.

Refection on my goals One of my goals this semester was to be able to open up. Not only for speech purposes but to other people as well. I would say I kind of did that. I mean, I'm still the same but I have grown a little. But, I still need to work on improving on impromptu speaking. I could have a whole speech ready with an outline to boot, but still mess it up and forget the words. I wouldn't know where to begin on trying to improve on my impromptu speaking, because I truly don't know if I may ever do it again. However, I could just practice on opening up and maybe that will help with any kind of speaking, wether it be professional speeches, or just impromptu for something random.
